They said that they saw the prince killed their friend.

"I accept your report. But my son hasn’t returned from his study. I will hold my judgement until his return. If my son indeed killed your friend then I will give him the punishment he deserves. But if you lie then I will punish you for ruining my family’s good name,” said the king.

When the two villagers left, the king called his trusted advisors. He asked for their opinion about this matter. They all agreed that if the report was true then the prince should be punished. The king was sad to hear that but he knew he must uphold the law.The next morning the false prince came to see his father. He admitted killing the villager. So the king decided to execute the prince for his wrong action.

The next day the prince was going to be hung as his punishment. When the executioner hung the prince, suddenly his body disappeared and a voice was heard across the field, “King of Mergosono, you are really a wise and good king. You pass my test. So I will give you and your people prosperity as long as you and your descendant stay true and wise. Don’t be sad. Your son is well and on his way home to see you". When the sound was gone, the people of Mergosono yelled with joy. Their prince was safe and they knew that their king was a wise man.
