Once upon a time, there was a king in England, and the king was very proud of his power. His courtiers also flattered the king. One day he told his courtiers that he could control everything on the earth. Then a minister asked him if he could control the sea. The proud king replied that he could control the sea. To prove it, the king took his courtiers to the seashore. The seawater was splashing at his feet. The king shouted the waves to move back, but the sea waves lashed at the king’s feet more forcefully and made him wet. The king moved back in fear and realized that natural object like sea waves was beyond his control.
