The King did not answer these foolish men for some time. At last he said, " 1 am tired; brin" me a chair." And they brought him one, and he made them sit close to the water ; and he said "to the sea " I command you not to let your waves wet my feet." The flattering lords looked at one another, and thought the King must be mad to think the sea would really obey him, although they had been so wicked as to tell him it would the moment before. Of course, the sea rose as it does every day, and the King sat still till it wetted him and all the lords who had flattered him so foolishly. Then he rose up, and said to them, " Learn from what you see now that there is no being really great and powerful but God. He only who made the sea can tell it when and where to stop." The flatterers were ashamed, and saw that the King was too good and wise to believe their false praise.
