~ Introduction ~
There were many Kings in the world. However, there is one who is The Great King,
who lived his life facing many adversities. However, he faced this misfortunes
with intelligence and a willingness to fulfill his duty and responsibilities.
Once upon a time...
There was a small kingdom, as beautiful as heaven.
There was a Prince who grew up with love and care.
He was loved by his father and mother,
and grew up happily with his sister and brother.
One day, his father was taken away....forever. Everyone was very sad. His mother then decided to leave the kingdom and took all of her children to live very far away.
Living in the beautiful mountains, the young Prince grew up with love and guidance
from his Princess Mother. He played and learned with his Prince Brother.
And one day, his brother was chosen to become the King of that kingdom.
However, just like the father, his brother's life was taken away forever. While there was much sadness, the young Prince was chosen to become the new King.
The young Prince studied various subjects to help prepare him to become King. During this time, he met a beautiful Princess and married her.
On the day he became King, he promised everyone in the kingdom,
"I will reign with righteousness for the benefit and happiness of the
Thai people". And he has kept his words all this time.
The King and Queen did not spend all of their days comfortably in their palace.
They traveled throughout their beautiful kingdom to meet the people.
The people told the King that there was an evil spirit called "Greed" who was asking them to leave their villages. Most of villagers then left their homes and went to live in the "Luxurious Cities".
The King gave "Seeds of Light" to everyone.
The people used those seeds to grow to become "Trees of Light" and prosper.
The King told his people that these "Trees of Light" are called "Self Sufficient".
The light from these trees, shines all of the way to the luxurious cities,
calling the people home.
Another evil spirit, in the city, called "Confusion"
made people split into groups and fight.
The King came to stop the evil spirit by giving the people advice about
"common sense". "A victory that causes a lot of damage is a loss."
Everyone who argued was regretful.
The King and Queen show love and kindness to everyone in the kingdom
as if they were their own children.
The King was a very devoted son and he was very grateful to his mother.
Thereafter, other royal families from around the world visited the kingdom and acknowledged the King as their "most beloved and respected friend".
Everyone in the kingdom came out to honor their beloved King as:
"The King, Who is The Number One King in the World".
The King has been trying to help his people find true happiness
