Question
Answer the following question.
The hermit ‘spoke only to common people’; so the king ‘put on simple clothes’. Do you think the king hoped to be mistaken for a common man or was he just showing that he was a humble person? What shows that the hermit knew him to be the king?
Solution
The king put on simple clothes because he did not want the hermit to refuse to answer his questions. The king was aware that the hermit was wise and would know that he was the king and not mistake him for a common person. Out of humility and respect, the king dressed up as a commoner. We know that the hermit knew that he was the king, by the way, he returned the king's greeting.
