There was once an ancient kingdom with many responsibilities that fell on the king's shoulders. Therefore, the king always consulted his ministers about many things because, at the end of the day, no one can do everything alone. Among these ministers was Minister Zaher, the smartest of them all, whose wise decisions distinguished him from the others. One day, he disagreed with the king about a matter of state, and the dispute escalated to the point that the king became angry with Minister Zaher, dismissed him from his position, and ordered him to leave the kingdom and never show his face again.
Zaher left and went to a small village on the outskirts of the kingdom, unknown to the king, where he started working on farms and fields, growing fruits and vegetables, and hiding his true identity by using a different name.
As time passed, the king struggled to solve the problems and issues of the kingdom without the advice of his wisest minister, Zaher, who had sound judgement and extreme intelligence and whose advice used to save the king a lot of time and effort in solving the kingdom's issues.
The king began to regret dismissing Minister Zaher and decided to reinstate him, but he did not know where he was. So, the king started sending his soldiers to search for Zaher, but to no avail. Then, the king came up with a clever trick.
He sent a pot to the leader of each village or city, along with a message ordering them to do something strange: each village or city was required to fill the pot with intelligence and wit, and if they could not, they had to fill it with diamonds and jewellery.
This pot and message reached the village where Zaher was living. The village leader gathered the villagers to tell them about this confusing matter, and they wondered how they could fill a pot with something abstract and intangible.

From among the crowd, Zaher stepped forward and said, "Leave this task to me; I know what to put in the pot." The villagers were astonished, and although they felt they were between a rock and a hard place, they agreed to let Zaher handle it.
Zaher took the pot back to the farm and went to the watermelon field. He placed a small watermelon inside the pot and left it there until the watermelon grew to fit the pot's size, making it impossible to remove. Then, he picked the watermelon along with the pot and sent it to the king with a message that said, "Please take the watermelon out of the pot without cutting it or breaking the pot."
How clever this man is, as if he's saying, "You have made a request that is difficult to fulfil, so here is a solution that is equally difficult." When the king saw the pot and read the message, he knew that no one but the intelligent Minister Zaher could have come up with this idea. The king immediately went to the village himself to reinstate Zaher to his position.
