A palace guard was caught sleeping on duty by his commander.
The commander recorded this incident in the daily log book.
“The palace guard was sleeping tonight on his duty”.
The guard apologized to his commander.
He requested him to not record this blunder, as this happened for the first time in ten years of his service.
He was afraid that he will get punished by the King.
He assured him that it won’t happen again.
The commander knew that this had happened for the first time.
But he refused to delete the record.
He told the guard that what he has written is true.
The guard returned home with a gloomy face.
His wife inquired about the reason behind his sadness.
The guard narrated the whole incident to his wife.
After listening to the guard, the wife gave him an advice.
The next day it was the guard’s turn to fill the records.
He wrote, “The commander was awake tonight”.
The commander went into a shock after reading the log.
He asked the guard to alter his statements.
Because it was implying that he was sleeping every other night.
The guard replied that he cannot alter anything because what he has written is true.
