One day, a parrot, which repeats what his subjects say, comes to torment him: 'How ridiculous our king is! He looks even tinier in his immense palace!' Furious with anger, the little king is determined to command respect through decrees. But isn't he blinding himself? What if the true greatness of a sovereign lays elsewhere?
