The Invention Of Shoes

Once upon a time, there was a King named Habuchandra who ruled India. His chief minister Gobuchandra always advised him and followed him everywhere. One day the King suddenly realised that the kingdom had too much dust which needs to be sorted out. He ordered Gobuchandra to resolve it.

So, wise men in the court sat together and came up with a plan. They suggested sweeping the kingdom for couple of days. But it created a dust storm which annoyed the King very much. Then they triedpouring water to stop the storm which turned the dust into mud and the rivers dried out.

They suggested keeping the king indoors that didn't work. Then they thought of covering the land with leather, but it required cattle to be murdered and people started to revolt against this idea.

Finally the court decided to seek advice from the cobblers and leather workers. One of the cobblers suggested the king to cover his feet which would keep dust away from them. The King was very impressed but refused to accept this genius plan came from a mere cobbler. Such an idea could only come from the King. So the cobbler was imprisoned and the kingdom hailed the King for inventing the shoe.
