A man once had special powers. He could read footprints. The king was impressed with his powers and made him his minister. One day, the king himself committed a crime. He and his priest stole the public money and hid it in a safe place. People were upset when they found the money missing. There was a great uproar. They wanted to know who had stolen the money. The minister with the special powers was called upon. He immediately knew who the culprits were but did not divulge their names. But the people were adamant to know their names. Finally, the minister divulged the names. People were shocked to know that it was the king himself and his priest. They were so mad at the pair that they banished them from the kingdom. After that, they made the minister their king and he ruled justly.
