One day, a king called his clever jester and gave him a staff in front of all the court saying, “Take this staff as a wand of office and keep it till you find a greater fool than yourself. If you find one, give this wand to him”.

Some time later, the king was sick and lay dying. He wanted to see his jester, of whose truthfulness he was sure.

When the jester came, the king said to him, “I have called you to tell you that I am going on a long journey”

“Where are you going?”-asked the jester.

“To a far away country- to another world”.

“My master have you made provisions for your journey and your stay there?”

“None whatsoever my little fool”.

“Have you any friends to welcome you there?”

“None!” replied the king.

Then the jester shook his head sadly, and put the staff in the king’s hand and said, “Take the staff your majesty. This belongs to you for you are going to another world without preparation. Surely this wand belongs to you”.
