A king and his minister were standing on the palace walls looking down on the busy market place on a warm and sunny afternoon.
The king was eating a rice cake with honey on it as the two talked about matters of the kingdom. As they talked, a little drop of honey fell from the rice cake and onto the window ledge below them. The minister began to walk away from the king.
"Where are you going?" asked the king.
