It is said that a king wanted to test the loyalty of three of his close ministers

so he asked th first : If your king went bankrupt, what would you do?

He replied: I give him back everything I own, for the credit is due to him after God .

The king rejoiced at the answer and ordered a new palace to be given to him.

Then he asked his second minister the same question .

He said: I give up my property to the Kingdom and then devote myself to serving my Lord for free.

The king admired the minister's dedication and presented him with gifts.

And when the turn of the third minister came.
he said: I have nothing to offer to Your Majesty, my lord. I only own my house in which I live with my wife and children.

The king looked at him in disgust And he said to him: Why are you so rude? Don't you know how to compliment us like the good ministers?

The late replied: I don't know, but if you waste your money one day,go look for it in the treasuries of praisers.
