Leo Tolstoy explores the theme of wisdom, acceptance, kindness, and forgiveness. The story is about a king who wants to know the answer of the three questions so as to get enlightenment. The three questions/answers were:
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What was the right time for every action? | Now is the time to do every action because now is the only time that we have power. |
| Who were the right people to be with? | The right person is who you are with. |
| What was the most important thing to do? | The most important thing to do is to do good for the person you are with. |
Not much to say but a short story that does impart some wisdom on the reader. Better summarization can be found here.
