If any of them could come up with something which would make him happy when he was sad, and sad when he was happy, he would spare their lives.
All night the people meditated on the matter.
In the morning, they brought the king a ring.
The king said that he did not see how the ring wound serve to make him happy when he was sad and sad when he was happy.
The people pointed to the inscription. When the king read it, he was so impressed that he spared them all.
