In olden times there was a famous astrologer whose skills were said to be so great that he could accurately foretell the exact date that any person who consulted him would die. The king came to hear of the astrologers great skills and called him into his presence. He inquired if this story was true and, on hearing that it was, the King requested the astrologer to predict the date of the King’s own demise. The astrologer duly consulted his charts and
gave the King the exact date.
The King was not comfortable with the reply as it was a little closer than he liked. He asked again if the astrologer was indeed infallible in this respect. Receiving confirmation of this the King said he would prove the astrologer could be wrong.
He asked the astrologer to say what date the astrologer himself would die. Consulting the charts the astrologer named a date several years off. The King said, “Now I will prove you wrong – call in the executioner!”
