The above story is based on a parable “The Wise King” which appears in Khalil Gibran‘s book The Madman.

You can also read the English version of the comic here.

I like Gibran’s work because it mixes philosophy and fantasy. I got introduced to him when I found an old beat-up copy of his book The Prophet at home. I started reading it only because this copy had belonged to my Dad during his college days and he had made very starry-eyed philosophical remarks in the margins which I found very amusing. Nevertheless, I really got into the book.
