Q.10 Read the following story and rewrite it in summarized form. (Around 100
words).

Long ago. There was a kingdom. The people were thrilled with their king ruling. Once the King traveled
by foot, his historical and pilgrim centres.

When the king returned, he was happy, but he had one regret that he had a pain in his feet. King called
and ordered his servant to cover the roads in the country with leather.

A wise minister give better advice that “Instead of covering the roads with leather, why don’t you have a
piece of leather cut in an appropriate shape to cover your feet?”

The king surprised, He ordered a pair of leather shoes for all kingdom.

Moral: Instead of trying to change the world, we should try to change ourselves.
