Become a King
There was a kingdom in which the king had no heir to take over his thrown. Even the queen was dead and he himself was on the verge of dying. He thought about it and then summoned all of the teenagers. He gave one seed each to all of them and asked them to grow the plant. He announced that the one with the most beautiful plant will become the king/queen of the empire after the death of the king.
After a month, all of them were called. The king looked at all of the plants but announced the girl with an empty pot as the queen of the empire. Why?
The King had given the aspirants infertile / dead seeds (seeds that won’t sprout). Except the girl, all other contestants, in an attempt to impress the King with “the most beautiful plant”, resorted to cheating and grew their own plants. The only honest girl could not get ant plant.
