In the ancient kingdom of Chandrapur, lived a young man named Vikram. He was bright and quick-witted, but the King felt he needed more to be a true envoy. One day, a crisis arose between Chandrapur and the neighboring kingdom of Magadh. The King decided to send Vikram as an ambassador to prevent a war. Before he left, the King gave him a piece of advice: 'To succeed, you must carry three things: unwavering loyalty to your King, deep knowledge of the matters at hand, and the wisdom to choose your words carefully before others.'
As Vikram entered the court of the Magadh King, he noticed the atmosphere was tense. Instead of demanding terms, Vikram first spoke of the long-standing friendship and respect his King held for the Magadh ruler. This warmth melted the initial frost. Next, Vikram presented a detailed plan regarding trade routes that would benefit both kingdoms, proving he had studied the facts thoroughly. Finally, when the Magadh King grew heated, Vikram did not react with anger. Instead, he used gentle, persuasive, and precise language to calm the situation. His words were like a soothing balm. Because of his heart, his mind, and his tongue, peace was restored, and Vikram returned home a hero.
