The Tyrant Who Became a Just Ruler

In olden times there lived a King, who was so cruel and unjust towards his subjects that he was always called The Tyrant. So heartless was he that his people used to pray night and day that they might have a new king. One day, much to their surprise, he called his people together and said to them,

“My dear subjects, the days of my tyranny are over. Henceforth, you shall live in peace and happiness, for I have decided to try to rule justly and well.”
