The jealous and the miser
He stood in the hands of one of the kings and said to them: "Wishing me what you want, I will give the second double what the first. One of them said to the other, "You are first, and you will fight for a long time, and each of them feared that he would wish first so that the other would not be affected by what he was suffering." The king said, "If you do not do what you have commanded, cut off your heads." The jealous said: my Majesty takes one of my eyes!
