A beggar lived near the king's palace. One day, he saw the notice posted outside the palace gate. The king held a great banquet.

Anyone who dressed the kingdom were invited to participate in the banquet. The beggar went with sadness. He looked ragged clothes he was wearing and sighed. Of course, only the king and the royal family who wore royal robes, so he thought. Suddenly an idea came to mind. Just thinking about it has made her tremble. Dare he?

The beggar returned to the palace. He approached the gate of the palace guards. "Help me, sir, I beg to speak with the King." "Wait here," replied the guard. A few minutes later he was back. "His Majesty pleased to see you," he said, and led the beggar in..

"You want to see me?" Asked the king. "Yes, my lord the king. Servant so eager to participate in the banquet held my lord, but I have no royal robes to wear at the banquet. So good my lord, pardon my presumptuousness servant, be so good lord gave to the servant robes worn one of my lord, so I can come to the banquet.

" The beggar's body trembled so violently that he could not catch a glimpse of smile on the face of the king. "You really wise to come to me," said the king. King called his son, the prince. "Take it to your room and give him clothes from the clothes.

" Prince did what he was told his father and soon the beggar was standing before a mirror, wearing a robe that he dared not hope to have it. "Now you are eligible to take part in the king's banquet tomorrow night," said the prince. "But more importantly than that, you will never need the dress again. You wear a robe that will stand forever. The beggar fell down, "Oh, thank you," he said.

But, while she left the room, he saw piles of clothes on the floor dekilnya. He hesitated. What if the prince said that was not true? What if he needs his old clothes again? Immediately picked campingnya ragged clothes.

Supper was far more impressive than can be imagined. Nevertheless, he could not enjoy the meal as it should. He has rolled campingnya ragged clothes into a bundle, and bundle it over and over fell from his lap. The meal passed quickly, and some of the most delicious dish he missed it.

Time proved that the prince was right. Robe resist giving prince forever. But still, the poor beggar was sorry to throw campingnya ragged clothes. With time, people began to forget the royal robes he was wearing. They just see the bundle tattered clothes he brought everywhere he went. They even call it old man with tattered clothes.

One day, while he lay dying, the king visited him. The beggar saw the sad face of the king when the king saw a bundle of filthy rags at her bedside. Suddenly the beggar remembered the prince will be greeting and he became aware that the bundle had been made filthy lost the opportunity to enjoy the true kingdom of his life.
