Health is Wealth

Once upon a time, there lived a benevolent and
kind-hearted king. But, the people weren’t happy
with him because he was very lazy and would not
do anything other than eating and sleeping.

He spent days, weeks and months in his bed either
eating something or sleeping. The king became a
couch potato and the people started to worry about
him.

One day, the king realised that he couldn’t move
his body, not even his foot. He became very large and his obesity became a
matter of fun, calling him ‘bulky king’.
The king invited expert doctors from various parts of his country and
offered them generous rewards to make him fit. Unfortunately, none could
help him gain his health and fitness back. The king spent an enormous
amount of money but everything went in vain.
