Adesanya Daniel

      A King had five main servants who he can call his personal guards as they always followed him everywhere he goes aside when the King needs his privacy. They served the King's Father for several years before the prince took over the throne due to the demise of his father. 

      The prince who is now the King decided to test this loyal servants because he saw how committed they were. The reward of this test was to make them the oversea of certain communities in the village and this came with a lot of benefits like mouth-watering salary. 

      On this certain day the King decided to keep a certain amount of money in his palace and then told his servants he wants to embark on a journey in which they should not follow him.

    A day after leaving the palace one of his servants saw the money where the King kept it but he was afraid to take it so he decided to the inform other servants. Since the money was huge, four of the servants agreed to take part of it as it won't be noticeable while the last servant didn't agree with them as he considered it as stealing.

    Three days after four of the servants took part of the money and spent it, the King came back from the journey. He then decided to count the money to see if it was missing. To his outmost surprise the money was complete....

    After congratulating the five servants for passing the test and told them all that happened, four of the servants were surprised on how it happened because from what the King explained, they should fail the test....

   Two months after them being given part of the benefits, The villager who the fifth servant forgot to pay back the money that he borrowed from decided to come to the palace but he met  the King and explained what happened. The King in his furry summoned the servant and asked him why he didn't pay the man because his salary can do it....

   Few minutes into his speech explaining what happened he realized that he just exposed the remaining servants.... He left there instantly.

The King summoned the five servants and decided to tell them the truth of what happened.

  The King told them that he actually knew that the money was replaced but the servants were surprised that how?

  He then told them that the money stolen is actually a bit different from the money spent in the community as it was the new currency which was spent in the city. When he came he observed that the money has been replaced but he knew that the truth will later reveal itself.

  After knowing the truth of all that had happened he decided to congratulate the fifth servant and told him he was actually the one who passed the test and told the remaining servants that no matter how one continues in evil, the truth will reveal itself one day.. 

  The four servants were removed from being the King's servants and the benefits were collected while the fifth servant who is the faithful one was given the full benefits of the test.
