A king lost a battle and hid in a cave to escape enemy soldiers, but the soldiers sealed the cave with stones.

Those who wish to achieve success should not lose courage until the very last moment. The moment we give up, we fail. This lesson can be understood through a folk tale.

According to the story, in ancient times, a king lost a battle. All his soldiers were killed. Somehow, the king managed to save his life and fled into the forest. The enemy soldiers were chasing him. To escape, he hid in a cave.

The soldiers searched the jungle and eventually reached the cave. They looked for the king inside but couldn’t find him. After coming out, the soldiers sealed the cave with large stones.

The cave was very deep, and the king was hiding inside. He was extremely exhausted and tormented by hunger and thirst. His body had no strength left.

After sealing the cave, the enemy soldiers left. The king sat inside the cave, thinking that his life was over. He believed he would never be able to get out of the cave.

The king had lost all hope. At that moment, he remembered something his mother used to say: "Do something; don’t just give up and die." Remembering these words, the king felt energized again. He thought to himself that he shouldn’t give up without trying.

The king started removing the stones blocking the cave entrance. After great effort, he managed to shift the large stones. Somehow, he created a small opening to get out of the cave. The king escaped and reached a fellow king’s palace. With the help of his allies, he defeated his enemies and regained his kingdom.
