One day a king decided to humble his most trusted servant.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

He said to him, \u201cThere is a certain ring that I want you to bring to me. I wish to give to the queen for her birthday, which gives you six months to find it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it exists anywhere on earth, your majesty,\u201d replied the servant, \u201cI will find it and bring it to you, but what makes the ring so special?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has magic powers,\u201d answered the king. \u201cThis is something that shall make a rich man sad and a poor man happy.\u201d The king knew that no such ring existed in the world, but he wished to give his minister a little taste of humility.<\/p>\n

Spring passed and then summer, and still the servant had no idea where he could find the ring. On the night before the queen\u2019s birthday, the servant decided to take a walk in one of the poorest quarters of the city. He passed by a merchant who had begun to set out the day\u2019s wares on a shabby carpet. \u201cHave you by any chance heard of a magic ring that makes a rich man sad and a poor man happy?\u201d<\/p>\n

He watched the merchant take a plain gold ring from his carpet and engrave something on it. When the servant read the words on the ring, his face broke out in a wide smile.<\/p>\n

That night the entire city welcomed the Queen\u2019s birthday with great festivity. \u201cWell, my friend,\u201d said the king, \u201chave you found what I sent you after?\u201d All the ministers laughed and the king himself smiled.<\/p>\n

To everyone\u2019s surprise, the servant held up a small gold ring and declared, \u201cHere it is, your majesty! This is something that shall make a rich man sad and a poor man happy.\u201d The king held to ring up close so he could see\u00a0the engraving that read \u201cThis too shall pass.\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as the king read the inscription, the smile vanished from his face. At that moment the king realized that all his wisdom and fabulous wealth and tremendous power were but fleeting things, for one day he would be nothing but dust.<\/p>\n
