King’s Order - True Friendship


King’s Order - True Friendship

Once in a Kingdom. a man named Liam protested against the King. King was arrogant he didn’t like anyone who would go against him so he ordered his soldiers to arrest and hang that man.

Liam didn't resist and sad, "My Lord, I will gladly accept your punishment but please grant me one last wish.

Please give me some time, Before dying I just want to visit my home and see my children one last time.

King refused, saying, “No. I can’t allow it. There is no guarantee that once you leave you will be back.

Just then a man from the crowd came forward and said, "My Lord, please arrest me instead of him as a guarantee, and if he doesn’t come back that you can hang me instead of him.

King was Surprised because he had never seen a man who would offer his own life for someone else.

King asked him, “Why are you ready to take place of this person?“

That man replied, “My Lord, he is my best friend and I trust him. He will be back once he meets his family.”

King agreed and allowed Liam to leave for his home. He was given time of six hours as total that he would be needed ta go and back from his house was at most five hours.

Liam left for his house. He met his family. He still had enough time to reach the King’s palace before the time of his hanging.

Liam wanted to reach as soon as possible but on his way, he fell from his horse and got his horse and he himself got hurt. Because of this, he got delayed. On another side, at the palace, as time passed. His friend was being held and prepared for hanging. His friend was standing on board to be hanged. The friend was happy to give his life for his friend.

Just a moment before the lever was to be pulled to hang his friends, Liam came running, panting fell on the ground. Liam shouted, “Please stop... I am back. Please release my friend”.

His friend replied, “Liam... you go back..... I would be happy to take your place and die here.”

Listening to this Liam went close to his friend and said, “My friend thank you for your help. Now please go. This is my punishment and I should face it.”

Seeing this King was overwhelmed by their friendship and said, “I forgive you ... your friendship made a deep impact on me. You both are free to go.”

 

MORAL: A true friend is one who trusts you always and stays by your side. True friendship can even avert many problems.

Known as “Peace Day,” Remna Ni commemorates the signing of the Mizo Peace Accord in 1986, which brought an end to two decades of insurgency and unrest in the state. It is a day not only to remember the past but to celebrate the return of peace, stability, and democratic progress in Mizoram.   The origins of Remna Ni lie in a long period of political turmoil.
