Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not exactly a physics question...

The story "The Water Of Life" is about a king and his faithful servant.

The servant worn an armlet on his arm.

The following words were written on the armlet: Who thinks to wear me on an arm, must lack both guile and thought of harm."

That writing further develops the story as it reflects on the king's sending his servant to help a princess who was upset after her bird died. The story's theme is about power, greed and resilience.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Morality, Power & Greed, and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"What is good and how do we know?", "Why do people succeed?", and "How does power corrupt?"
