Once upon a time, a king said to his minister that: O minister, when I was young, my father always told me, "You will not become a man."  I liked it so much that I could change his mind.

 The minister says: Sir, you are a king now.  I think that if you create conditions for your father to see you, then he will change his mind.

 According to the words of the minister, the king orders to provide the conditions for a trip to the village where the king was born to see his father, who was still living in his old house in that village.

 The king, in all his majesty, along with his ministers, soldiers and companions, ride his beautiful and dignified horse to the village.  Then he orders the soldiers to take his father from his house and bring him to the village square.

 All the villagers were honoring and bowing to the king, but when the king's father came to the square, he stood very calmly and simply in front of the king who was riding a horse.

 The king says: Father, look, I am your son.  The same person as you said does not become a person.  See that I am now the king of this country and everyone obeys me.  what are you saying

 The old man looks at his son and says: I am still talking.  You don't become a person.

 I never said you won't become a king, I said you won't become a man.  If you were a person, instead of sending soldiers, you would come after me, knock on the door, and I would open the door for you.  If you were a person, now that I have come, you would have dismounted from the horse to respect me, who is your father.

 No, I'm not going back.  You don't become a person.
