The king seeks answers to three philosophical questions from wise men: when is the right time to begin something, which people should he listen to, and what is the most important thing to do. Though he receives many answers, he remains unsatisfied. He visits a wise hermit and helps him with manual labor. That night, a wounded enemy arrives and the king cares for him. The next morning, the hermit explains the answers: the most important time is now, the most important person is the one you are with, and the most important thing is to do good for others. Helping the hermit and enemy were the right actions at the important present moments.

When the king of Pratibandapuram and his queen had their first baby ten day old the astrologers made a prediction that the child would grow up and one day meet his death. While others heard them sadly, the baby prince asked a very wise question as to what was new in such a prediction as it is a universal truth that everyone should die.
When the child grew up and became the new king, he was nicknamed The Tiger King because he went on a tiger hunt to kill the hundredth tiger to remove his fear of death. Gradually the tiger population in his country went dry. To hunt further tigers he married a princess whose father’s forest had tigers in it.
The hundredth tiger was not very easy to hunt down. The king became furious and mad and dismissed many of the officers. Being a wise man, the devan knew the country would pass into the hands of Indian National Congress and that he too would lose his position, he decided to bring an old tiger from the People’s Park in Madras.

3. About the Story :-
This story was part of a short story collection, titled What Men Live By and Other Tales, first published in
1885. Taking the form of a parable, “Three Questions” narrates the story of a king who seeks answers to three
philosophical questions which he considers to be crucial to succeeding in life. He struggles to find the answers
to the three questions, namely:
When is the right time to begin something?
Which people should he listen to?
What is the most important thing for him to do?
4. Summary of the story - “The Three Questions”
The king sends out messengers throughout his country to find the answers from wise men. He also promises
large sums of money to the person who gives the correct answer.
Many wise men tried their luck. They gave a number of answers. One said that the king should go by a
timetable. Another said that the king should do whatever seemed him necessary at the moment. The third
suggested that the king should consult wise men or magicians.
Answering the second question, they gave top importance to his councillors, or to priests or to doctors or
to soldiers.
In reply to the third question, the wise men gave importance to science or fighting or religious worship.
However, all his efforts are in vain; because every time he gets a different answer form each person. So he
decides to meet a wise hermit who lives in the woods. Two incidents happen there, which reveal the answer to
the king.
5. Summary of the story - “The Three Questions”
When the king reaches the hermit’s hut, the hermit seems to be digging the ground in front of his hut. He
is old, tired and breathes heavily, as he keeps digging. The king asks his questions to the hermit, but the
hermit continues to dig. The king, seeing that the hermit is struggling, decides to help him out. He takes
the spade from the hermit's hand and starts digging. After he dug two beds, he stops digging and asks his
questions. The hermit, without replying asks him to rest now and that he will continue digging. But the
king does not oblige, and he continues to dig. Hours pass by, and it gets dark. He says he will return home
if the hermit cannot answer the questions. The hermit sees someone running towards them.
6. Summary of the story - “The Three Questions”
They see a bearded man, with a bleeding wound in his stomach. The king immediately starts dressing his
wounds and carries him to bed inside the hut. Out of exhaustion from the day’s work, the king also sleeps
on the floor. The next morning, when he wakes up, the bearded man asks for forgiveness to the king. The
puzzled king asks why. The bearded man reveals that he was an enemy of the king because the king had
killed his brother and seized his property. So he had come to kill the king when he was returning alone to
the kingdom. But since the king did not return the previous day, the bearded man had come out of his
hiding place, and the king’s bodyguard had seen and stabbed him with a knife.
The bearded man says the king was kind-hearted and saved my life and that he wanted
to serve him as his servant. The king forgives the man and promises to return his seized property. He is
also happy that he has made friends with the enemy easily.
7. Summary of the story - “The Three Questions”
He goes to the hermit and begs for the answers to his questions. He says his questionshave already
been answered. He asks how. The hermit explains
If the king had not helped him dig the ground, he would’ve left early, and the enemy
(the bearded man) would have stabbed him.
But the king did the right thing - by taking pity on the hermit, he decided to help him
- that is the most important time that saved the king’s life.
The most important person at that time, to the king - was the hermit
The most important thing to do - was to do the hermit some good help.
8. Summary of the story - “The Three Questions”
Again, the same thing happened with the bearded man also:
The king cared for him the day before - the most important time
The king dressed his wounds - the most important thing to do
The king cared for the man in pain - the most important person
The hermit goes on to explain that, the most important time to do anything is NOW - because we have the
power to act only in the present moment. The most important person is the person who you are with, at a
particular time. No one knows what will happen in the future or whether we will meet anyone else. The
most important business is to do good deeds because we were sent to this world only for that purpose.
