One day, the king of the town called a meeting. At the meeting, he sent men to go and fetch the mad man down to the meeting. They brought him in nude. The king ordered them to get him bathed and put new clothes on him with shoes. The order of the king was carried out immediately.
He was given a chair to sit on.
The king spoke to the people by telling them that it has never been heard that someone was mad for the period of fifty years and still remain alive! The king got a cake for his seventy ninth birthday anniversary. His parents were no longer alive only his younger sisters and brothers who also have become of age.
Surprisedly, after the celebration, he became sane!
He never stripped himself naked again. He began his father's palm wine business.
THE WORLD IS INDEED A SMALL PLACE.
