One day, the minister's son accidentally leaves his ring in the queen's quarters after falling asleep there, leading the king to misinterpret the situation and stop communicating with the queen, which deeply distresses her. The queen sends a coded letter to her family expressing her sorrow, which the king's son deciphers, prompting him and the minister's son to visit her.

In a kingdom, there was a deep friendship between a king and the minister's son. They never wished to be apart from each other. One day, the minister's son went to meet his friend and entered his palace. However, not finding him there, he thought his friend must be in the queen's quarters. With this thought, he went to the queen's quarters. There, the queen was sleeping on a beautifully adorned bed. The minister's son, too, lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep. A short while later, when the minister's son woke up, he got up and left, unknowingly dropping his ring on the bed.

Meanwhile, the king had arrived and silently picked up the ring upon seeing it. From that day forward, he stopped talking to the queen. This caused the queen much distress, leading her to write a letter to her father and brother in her home:

“Father has planted a garden, and there are countless flowers to pick.”

“In the luscious sweetness, the bee buzzes about.”

Seeing such lines, the king gave the letter to his son. The son understood the implications and soon made his way to his sister. When he arrived there, after drinking some water, in the evening, the king’s son, along with the minister’s son, took a boat and rode around. They ventured far from the village and settled by a beautiful pond. It was a moonlit night, and flowers bloomed in the pond. The four of them sat down to play a game of dice. While playing, the king's brother-in-law remarked:

“In the pure water of the pond, it is utterly pure.”

“Why not drink that water, listen to me, my friend.”

Upon hearing this, the king thought to himself and said:

“Between the fingers, the red pomegranate rests.”

“I saw it on the bed; the water shall not be drunk.”

As they continued to play, the minister's son said:

“The clouds roar, lightning flashes, and it seems there is no end to it.”

“The sister and brother went and sat upon the bed.”

After this, a turn of the dice came to the boatman who thoughtfully said:

“The clever meet with the clever, and it seems there is no end to it.”

“Unfortunate is that woman, who has a foolish husband.”

After this, the truth of the matter settled in the king's heart. Soon after, everyone returned home, and the king and queen began to live happily once again.
