Once upon a time there was a king in India. An astrologer told him: “Whoever
shall drink the rain which falls seven days from now shall go mad.” So the king
covered his well, that none of the water may enter it. All of his subjects, however,
drank the water, and went mad, while the king alone remained sane. Now the
king could no longer understand what his subjects thought and did, nor could his
subjects understand what the king thought and did. All of them shouted “The king
is mad, the king is mad.” Thus, having no choice, the king drank the water too.
