Once upon a time, there was a king who had a weird idea to kill all the ministers who made an error or committed a sin.
The punishment was carried out by using brutal dogs.

Our story begins when a horrible voice came from the basement of the king’s palace.
“Please, my master. I will never do it again. It was a devil's mistake, and I had a weak soul.
Please believe me. I will never do it again.” Those were the last words they have heard from that basement.

After quiet some time, one of the king’s ministers gave him an erroneous opinion, which made our king very angry.
Hence the king has ordered to throw the minister to cruel dogs.

The minister said to the king:
“My Lord I have been serving you for 10 years. Why are you doing this to me? Please, I beg you just for 10 days, before the realization of the judgment.”

The king gave him what he had asked for.

Immediately after that, the minister went to the guardsmen of dogs.
“Please my friend, can you do me a favor.
I want to serve these dogs only for 10 days.”

The guardsmen said:
“What do you have in your mind?
And what do you aim for?”

The minister said:
“I will tell you later.”

The minister took the guard's place and he started to care for dogs: he fed them, washed them, and spent all his time with them.

Ten days after, the king gave the order to throw the minister in a jail with dogs.
The king was standing out watching for the moment when dogs will tear apart the minister.
But, what happened was totally unpredictable.
Dogs were only barking under his feet without doing anything.

The king asked him:
“What did you do to these dogs?”

The minister said:
“I have served these dogs for 10 days and they have not forgotten my assistance. And I have served you for 10 years, and you have forgotten all of that.”
