The lesson for the king- 

In the morning when the king opened his eyes he saw the wounded man asking for forgiveness. The man told the king that he had come to take revenge from him because the king had killed his brother and had taken away all his property. He wanted to kill the king, while he will be returning from the hermit’s place.

But the king’s bodyguards found him and wounded him. He would have died if the king would not have helped him. He regretted his thoughts of killing the king and promised to be his faithful servant. The king was pleased to turn his enemy into a friend. He forgave him and returned all his property. 

Then the king asked the hermit the three questions again. The hermit said- "When the wounded man arrived, the most important time was when he was caring for him or he would have died of his wounds, so at that time we had to help him." Then the hermit continued- " The most important time is now because it is the only time when we have the power to act.  The most important person at a particular moment is we ourselves because future is unknown to all of us and there is always an uncertainty about meeting anyone else. The most important job is to do good to others because we have been sent to this world for this noble cause.
