Once there lived a famous astrologer who had the reputation of being able to predict the time of a person’s death. The king heard about him and asked him to predict the time and day of the king’s own death.
The astrologer did his calculations and announced the exact date and time. The king asked him if he was absolutely sure. The astrologer said he was.
Next, the king asked him to predict the day the astrologer will die. The astrologer did his calculations again and gave a date, many years away.
The king laughed and said, “I will prove you are wrong.” He then called the executioner and ordered the astrologer to be beheaded.
