It is said that a man with a large family slept "hungry" for three nights due to lack of money.

His wife urged him to go to the sea.
Maybe "God" will give him something.

The man took the "fishing net" and threw it into the sea until near sunset, he threw the net into the "sea" and collected it, but nothing fell into his net.

Before returning home, he gathered his net for the last time and a "very big fish" fell into his net.
He became very "happy" and forgot all the sufferings of that day.

He imagined his wife and children how they would be "surprised" to see this big fish?!

As he was roaming in the green meadows of his imagination, the "Kingdom" was also "busy roaming" nearby.

"The king broke his imagination and asked what is in your hand?"

He told the king that "God" had "swelled" this fish...

The king took that fish from him "by force" and did not give him anything in return and did not even thank him.
He returned home "overwhelmed" with tears in his eyes and tongue tied.

The king returned to the palace full of "pride" and boasted in front of his "queen" that he had caught such a catch.
As he was showing the fish to the queen, a "thorn stuck in his finger", he felt a severe pain in his hand, then his hand became swollen and he could not sleep because of the pain...

The doctors of the palace gathered and suggested to "amputate" the king's finger, the king did not agree and the pain spread to the whole hand up to the wrist and then to the arm and "several days" passed like this.

Doctors suggested amputating the arm and the king agreed after "increasing pain".
When his hand was cut off, he "felt at peace" physically, but another disease took his life...

The king was suffering from a "mental illness" and his advisers said he was "wronging" anyone to be so afflicted.

The king immediately "remembered the fisherman" and ordered to be brought to him as soon as possible.
After searching the city, they found the "poor fisherman" and he came to the king with "old clothes and a broken face".

The king said to him:
- Do you know me...!?
- Yes, you are the one who took that big fish from me.
- I want you to "forgive" me.
I forgave you.
- I want to know that you tell me without any fear that when I took the fish from you;  "What did you say?!"

said;
I looked at the sky and said:

* god!
He showed me his power.
Show him your power!
