Then the peasant began to set the prices on horses and elephants upon gold and jewels.He did not know their value so he would say anything he chose.As the King had made him Valuer the People had to sell their goods for the price he set. By and by a horse-dealer brought five hundred horses to the court of this King.The Valuer came and said they were worth a mere measure of rice and the horses to be put in the palace stables.
The horse-dealer went then to see the honest man who had been the Valuer and told him what had happened.?What shall I do ?? asked the horses-dealer ?I think you can give a present to the Valuer which will make him ?Go to him and give him a fine present then say to him You said the horses are worth a measure of rice,but now tell what a measure of rice is worth ! Can you value that standing in your place by the King ?? If he says he can go with him to the King and I will be there too?

I can value now. Well let us go at once? said the horses-dealer.So they went before the king and his ministers in the palace.

If five hundred horses are worth a measure of rice what is the measure of rice worth ?? The measure of rice is worth your whole city? replied the foolish fellow
The minister clapped their hands laughing and saying ?What a foolish Valuer! How can such a man hold that office ? We used to think this great city was beyond price but this man says it is worth only a measure of rice.Then the King was ashamed and drove out the foolish fellow ?I tried to please the King by setting a low price on the horses and now see what has happened to me !? said the Valuer as he ran away from the laughing crowd.
