In a long deserted place where not anyone knows the exact location, there is a small kingdom. There lived a couple, the Liverethy, who owned the land but they do not make themselves as the king to the land. They were so kind. They let any lost by-passers to stay awhile on their land without charging them with anything. "It's a human deed!" as the husband would say. The people of the land was also very happy that they even give the couple taxes amounting what they could afford to the couple in order to set the land up.
One day, a couple, the Weightons, passed their land. They were the lost and were separated by their clans in the journey to trade goods. The couple had walked a good 3 days without a single drop of water since the place was rather dry.
"Oh good sire! Spare us some water!" the husband shouted from the outside of a big enormous house, proudly stood tall. There was a complete silence and everyone who were passing by was quite shocked by what happened. There were also hushes about the complete stranger on their land. In the midst of hushing people, there, a young maiden ran with a bucket of water in her hands. Although she ran with great trouble, she looked so keen to help the poor Weightons.
"Here, please drink this with your family," the maiden said and leave at once after she laid the bucket on the had dry ground. As the Weightons soaked their mouth with big gulps of water, the people applauded and cheers. They said, "All hail the wise Liverethy! God bless them all!!!"
The Weightons were awed by this magnificent view. "Good Lord! Why on Earth the people hails the King when the King didn't even open their window to help a poor stranger! Such a good civilians they have here!" the husband exclaimed.
"Good Sire, they are not our King and we're not subjected to him. This is his land, and we were all merely lived here. He didn't even put us on heavy taxes on us. It's our duty to uphold the good name of the Liverethy since they never even asked us to give anything in return for all his kindness," an old man dressed in haggard clothes told the husband.
"May I see this wonderful being created by God?" the husband asked. He was so curious o know and meet the person who would give it all for the sake of the others.
"I'm sorry, my goo Sire, but I'm afraid that we can't. The Liverethy built this house just as to show that he is in charge of this land. But, his family did not live in there. The live among us and use a different name. The people inside this huge house were his ministers that helped him to run this land smoothly," the man replied.
