There was a very charming young prince, who desired the throne of his father so much that he could not wait for his father to die before he will start his own reign. He prepared for himself horses and chariots and went to stand beside the palace gate.
In those days, when any man had a problem with his fellow country man, he will go and see the king to report the matter and the king will settle the matter according to his knowledge. Prior to this time, the people believed in their king and did accept his judgment without complain or accusation of injustice.
At the palace gate, the young prince called out to any appellant who was about to see the king that his matter is good but the king has never appointed any man to hear him out. He would further explain that if he were a judge, he would have done justice to any matter. After this conversation, the man would want to do obeisance to him because of his royal status. He would avoid this and kissed him. After many times at the gate, he stole the people's heart and over-throned his father.
LESSON

4)A Possible Change: The prince made the people see a possible change by introducing a kind of love, affection and/or concern which was probably lacking in his father's administration.
