Once upon a time, in a small village located near a large river, there was a young boy named Sidiki. One day, King Kebeto asked all the children in his village to bring something he had never seen before. The children sought help from their parents, and every family set out in search of an unusual object. However, Sidiki simply asked his parents to accompany him to the king's place. His parents, intrigued, asked him, "What are you going to bring to the king?"
Sidiki answered, "What he has never seen, Dad."
His father insisted, "But what is it?" Sidiki replied, "Surprise." The day of the presentation arrived, and each child presented himself to the king with what he considered a treasure. Unfortunately for them, the king had already seen all these things. Then it was Sidiki's turn. He stood before the king, his hands empty. The king, surprised, asked him, "What have you brought, my boy?" Sidiki answered, "Nothing special, my king. But I have a question to ask you." The king then said, "Go ahead, my boy. Can you show me my parents among the people here?"
The king said to him, "But are you lost, my boy?" Sidiki said to the king, "You answer me with a question, while I need the answer to my question." The king looked at him for a moment and then said, "I don't think I know your parents, and I believe I've never seen them." Sidiki asked him, "Are you sure?" The king added, "Sure and certain." Then, Sidiki called his father, his mother, and introduced them to the king.
King Kebeto understood that Sidiki was more intelligent than all the other children combined.
He also realized that he didn't know all the villagers. From that day on, he ordered every villager to host large parties in honor of Sidiki, the sensible child.
