Story of Lapio

Prince Lapio

 

A long time ago, there was a brave and goodlooking prince, Lapio. He was smart, but he was very unfair and didn’t care about justice. The King was worried about him and asked a wise man to teach him justice. “Please take him away,” said the King. “Bring him back when he is ready to be a fair king.”

 

The wise man took Lapio to the sea. They met a storm. So their ship was destroyed, and they landed on a deserted island. Fortunately, Lapio knew how to catch fish. When the wise man asked Lapio to share the fish, Lapio refused.

Gradually, his fishing became less successful, but the wise man began to catch birds. Lapio was hungry and begged the wise man to share the food, but he refused just as Lapio did. The wise man said, “If you can tell me the meaning of justice, I’ll give you some food.” Lapio said, “I think it’s to share equally!” The wise man congratulated Lapio and gave him some food.

 

That afternoon, a ship saved them from the island. On their way back, they met the chief of the Maximum tribe. The chief said, “If you help us, you’ll have some gold. We share meat and vegetables with the Minimum tribe, but we always argue about how to share them.”

 

Lapio suggested dividing the food by the number of people. When the Maximum people heard of this, they got upset. The Maximums were tall and ate much more, but the number of people in the tribe was small. After Lapio understood the situation, he gave the Maximums a new solution. “Share the food according to the amount each person eats.” They became happy and gave Lapio some gold.

 

On their way home, Lapio and the wise man stopped in a small village. A poor man served them a meal. A beggar begged on the ground. And a rich man took care of them well. Lapio wanted to give them his gold. So he made three piles of gold and gave the big one to the poor man, the middle one to the rich man, and the small one to the beggar.

Then Lapio said, “I think justice means sharing according to the things people did and their needs. The poor man did something and needs gold. Th rich man also did something but doesn’t need gold. The beggar needs gold but did nothing.” The wise man smiled.

Lapio got back to the palace and became a fair and wise king.
