Chapter 24 law and legislation

Hundreds of years ago, there was a great king, he was a wise man.He will make laws for his people. He invited a thousand sages from a thousand different tribes to his capital to make laws. All this was done. However, a thousand laws written on parchment were presented to the king, and when the king read it, he wept bitterly in his heart, because he never expected that in his kingdom, there would be A thousand deeds of crime. So the king summoned his scribes, and dictated the law himself with a smile on his lips.The king made only seven laws. But the thousand wise men left the king angrily, and returned to their respective tribes with their own laws.Each tribe enforces the laws made by its own sages.

Therefore, they have a thousand laws to this day. It is a great country, but it has a thousand prisons, full of men and women who have broken a thousand laws. This is indeed a great country, but its people are descended from a thousand legislators and only one wise king. Laws And Law-Giving Ages ago there was a great king, and he was wise. And he desired to lay laws unto his subjects. He called upon one thousand wise men of one thousand different tribes to his capitol and lay down the laws. And all this came to pass. But when the thousand laws written upon parchment were put before the king and he read them, he wept bitterly in his soul, for he had not known that there were one thousand forms of crime in his kingdom.

Then he called his scribe, and with a smile upon his mouth he himself dictated laws. And his laws were but seven. And the one thousand wise men left him in anger and returned to their tribes with the laws they had laid down. And every tribe followed the laws of its wise men. Therefore they have a thousand laws even to our own day. It is a great country, but it has one thousand prisoners, and the prisoners are full of women and men, breakers of a thousand laws. It is indeed a great country, but the people therefore of are descendants of one thousand law-givers and of only one wise king.
