“Three Questions” by Leo Tolstoy 

Introduction:

  • A king seeks answers to three important questions to ensure he never fails in life.
  • The three questions are:
    1. What is the right time to begin something?
    2. Which people should he listen to?
    3. What is the most important thing for him to do?

Key Points:

  1. The King’s Quest:

    • The king sends messengers throughout his kingdom, promising a large reward for anyone who can answer his three questions.
    • Many wise men come to the king, but their answers are varied and conflicting.

  2. Answers to the First Question:

    • Some wise men suggest preparing a strict timetable.
    • Others argue that it’s impossible to determine the right time in advance; one must be observant and do what seems necessary at the moment.
    • Some recommend having a council of wise men to help decide the right time.
    • Others believe only magicians, who can see the future, can determine the right time.

  3. Answers to the Second Question:

    • Suggestions include the king’s councillors, priests, doctors, and soldiers as the most necessary people.

  4. Answers to the Third Question:

    • Responses vary from science, fighting, to religious worship as the most important things to do.

  5. The Hermit:

    • Unsatisfied with the varied answers, the king seeks the advice of a wise hermit who lives in a forest and only interacts with simple people.
    • The king disguises himself in ordinary clothes and visits the hermit alone.

  6. The King Helps the Hermit:

    • The hermit is digging when the king arrives and asks his three questions.
    • The hermit doesn’t respond directly and continues digging. The king offers to help him dig.
    • The king repeats his questions after working for some time, but the hermit still doesn’t answer.

  7. The Wounded Man:

    • A bearded man, wounded and bleeding, runs towards them.
    • The king helps the hermit tend to the man’s wounds, and they carry him to the hut.

  8. The Bearded Man’s Revelation:

    • The next morning, the wounded man reveals that he is the king’s enemy who planned to kill him.
    • The man sought revenge because the king had killed his brother and seized his property.
    • The man forgives the king and promises to serve him faithfully because the king saved his life.

  9. The Hermit’s Explanation:

    • The king asks the hermit once more for answers to his questions.
    • The hermit explains that the king has already been answered through his actions.
      • The most important time is now.
      • The most necessary person is the one you are with at the moment.
      • The most important business is to do good to the person you are with because that’s our purpose in life.

Themes and Messages:

  • Living in the Present: The story emphasizes the importance of focusing on the present moment.
  • Compassion and Service: The most crucial actions are those that help and do good to others.
  • Wisdom and Understanding: True wisdom comes from understanding and acting with compassion and presence.

Comprehension Check:

  1. Why the King Wanted Answers:

    • The king believed that knowing the answers to these three questions would help him never fail.

  2. Purpose of the Messengers:

    • (iv) to announce a reward for those who could answer the questions.
