All the people in the land,<br> even the ones who lived twenty days away,<br> knew about him.\n\nhttps:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/originals\/7a\/a1\/92\/7aa192bbae9f121611c26e2112907209.jpg\n>Image Source Gogol's\n\nThe king heard about Mamad and ordered his subjects to bring him to the palace. He looked at the wise man and asked:\n\n\" Mamad,<br> is it true,<br> that you have never lied?\"\n\n\" It's true.\"\n\n\"And you will never lie in your life?\"\n\n\" I'm sure in that.\"\n\n\"Okay,<br> tell the truth,<br> but be careful! The lie is cunning and it gets on your tongue easily.\"\n\nhttp:\/\/l450v.alamy.com\/450v\/h3yw9t\/painting-of-king-edward-vii-1841-1910-during-his-coronation-dated-h3yw9t.jpg\n<Image Source Google\n\nSeveral days passed and the king called Mamad once again.

Tell her to prepare a big feast. You will have lunch with me then.\"\n\nMamad bowed down and went to the queen. Then the king laughed and said:\n\n\"We won't go hunting and now Mamad will lie to the queen. Tomorrow we will laugh on his behalf.\"\n\nBut the wise Mamad went to the palace and said:\n\nhttps:\/\/coollib.com\/i\/17\/315517\/i_032.jpg\n>Image Source Google\n\n\"Maybe you should prepare a big feast for lunch tomorrow,<br> and maybe you shouldn't. Maybe the king will come by noon,<br> and maybe he won't.\"\n\n\"Tell me will he come,<br> or won't he?\" - asked the queen.\n\n\"I don't know weather he put his right foot on the stirrup,<br> or he put his left foot on the ground after I left.\"\n\nhttps:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/originals\/7a\/a1\/92\/7aa192bbae9f121611c26e2112907209.jpg\n>Image Source Google\n\nEverybody waited for the king.
