[06:43.96]Many centuries ago,
[06:48.53]a group of Jews landed in India and immediately went to the king
[06:56.09]They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.
[07:03.97]In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion
[07:10.70]So the king was hesitant about letting them in
[07:16.75]He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water
[07:23.16]He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk
[07:28.70]Then he poured out some milk and added some water
[07:35.62]He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said:"
[07:41.74]What is the difference in taste?"
[07:46.09]The leader said:"The second time the milk tastes terrible
[07:54.23]"That is because of the water added to the milk," said the king
[08:00.53]"The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste
[08:06.61]So you too your addition will spoil the kingdom
[08:13.24]The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk
[08:21.66]He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king to taste it
[08:28.18]It tastes sweet," said the king.
[08:33.65]The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said:"Oh, king
[08:41.24]That is how we would like to live here
[08:46.28]as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk
[08:52.94]and not as the water which dilutes the milk
[08:58.67]Please with him the king granted them permission to stay.
