The King's Challenge
A king unexpectedly finds himself lost while picking flowers and seeks water from a woman working in her garden. In return for her kindness, she offers him pumpkin juice, a beverage unfamiliar to him, as she grows pumpkins in her country. When the king drinks from an old, dirty jug she offers, she breaks it afterwards, explaining that only a king should use such a jug, which she now considers special. This act intrigues the king, prompting him to reflect on the idea that even in its destruction, the jug remains memorable, much like the flowers he's picked.
