Reflection Poem by BONGOKOBIDA ZAKARIA

There was a king in a country
He announced publicly
That he wants such a magician
No sooner he looks could say
Who is worse, thief or gentleman?
Having come to know of king’s announcement
A foreigner old man came at royal audience
Old man- Your highness, I have such a mirror
This could tell about the nature of human.
King- Well and good, Show your mirror to me. Let me see
Old man-Your highness, here it is
The old man handed over the mirror to minister
Minister-What is this? I see a picture of monkey
King-let me see. Uttering this the king shouted, what is this?
I see a picture of leek
All of royal audience become afflicted and beat their fore head
King dashed the mirror to the ground violently
And the mirror broke into pieces
At the same time gave that old man life term imprisonment.
