Once a merchant came to the King's court and offered many gifts to the King. In that there was a bagful of carrots.
Carrot was the newest vegetable (hitherto unseen) to that place. Palace Chef made every recipe with a dash of carrot. Carrot took the very special place in the dinner of the day. The dinner was very delicious
Tasting the carrot for the first time, the King became joyous and his happiness knew no bounds. "There would be no better vegetable than Carrots in the creation of God", praised the King. The next seater Mullah " Yes my Lord Carrot is the most wonderful vegetable that I have ever seen" joined praising alongwith the King.
King himself got so much pleased with the vegetable and everyday wouldn't pass without carrot-made recipe. Almost every dish would have the carrot in one form or another like grated or minced.
Days passed by . By daily taking the carrot flavoured foods the King got some kind of aversion to the vegetable now. One day he got fully tensed against the carrot on seeing it served on the table. He immediately fall upon the serving assistants, "Take away, Take away, is this a vegetable worth serving here" Saying this he turned to Mullah.
Now Mullah told the King , "Yes my Lord, this is the worst vegetable, it is not even fit to be called as a vegetable"
The King gave a momentary thought for a while and said, " Mullah the other day you were praising a lot for this vegetable How come today you are talking against it"
Mullah humbly said, "Lord Yes you are right my Lord, I am your servant and not carrot's. "
