The purpose of this short story is to provoke a discussion about human nature: are people primarily motivated by good or by evil impulses? It is also meant to provoke a discussion about love: is love dominated by possessiveness, self-interest and envy or by an altruism that leads to self sacrifice for the beloved?

In this story, a fable set in a fairytale kingdom, a monarch determines the guilt or innocence of someone accused
