Once upon a time, there was a king who had a wise advisor. The advisor followed the king everywhere and his favourite piece of advice to the king was “Everything happens for the good.”

One day the king went hunting and had a small accident. His foot was injured. Fortunately he was not badly injured but as always he was forced to ask his advisor what he thought about the accident, to which the advisor replied，“Everything happens for the good.”

This time the king was really angry and put his advisor in prison. The king then asked his advisor，“Now，what do you think？” The advisor again answered，“Everything happens for the good.”

About a week later the king went on another hunting trip. It turned out that the king was caught by some cannibals (食人者) and taken to their camp where he would be prepared to be their evening meal. Before putting him into the cooking pot, he was examined and the cannibals realized that the king's foot was injured. They decided to throw him back into the forests.
