برشی از کتاب 

There was a king who had a bad disease. The doctors advised him, for a human gall bladder, it will cure the illness. So the servants found a young boy, and gave a lot of money to his parents for accepting to kill him for gall bladder.

When the executioner was ready to act, the boy looked up to the sky and smiled.

The king asked him:

“Why did you smile at this time?”

Answered the boy:

“The children demand things of parents, the parents ask the judge, the judge asks the king. Now that my parents have sold me for some money, so who listens to me instead of God?”
