Two Brothers
Long ago, there were two brothers called Akomi
and Ombah. They were ambitious and winning.
Akomi, the elder brother, said, "If we become the
King's employees, we can make laws to collect
more money from the people. We will become very
rich."
They went to see King Aruya. Akomi said, "Your
Majesty, let us be your ministers. We will make
good laws. All your subjects will be happy. I am
wise and clever. I know everything."
King Aruya said angrily, "That is not true! Nobody
knows everything. For example, do you know how
many stars there are in the sky? Guards! Throw this
liar into the river of crocodiles!"
Ombah's hands trembled. Then he thought to
himself, "King Aruya will also punish me if I say
the wrong thing. My brother said he knew
everything and his answer was wrong. So if I say
the opposite, my answer will be right." Ombah then
said, to King Aruya, "Your majesty, I know
nothing."
King Aruya said, "That is also a lie. Nobody knows
nothing, truly! Everybody knows at least something.
For example, you know your father's name, don't
you? Guards! Throw him into the river of
crocodiles, too!"
