Cyrus spares Croesus' life when he realizes he is an ordinary man. First Cyrus orders that Croesus burns to death on a pyre because he wants to prove that he has supernatural powers that would prevent him from burning. Then Cyrus changes his mind.

In the end, Cyrus is certain that Croesus is a good man and makes him his advisor.
Explanation:
Events of nature can often leave us questioning reality through its ability to show us the 'impossible' or the 'unknown'. These events of nature can change your view of your surroundings and the world as you once knew it. A powerful storm and hail are simple examples of this statement.
A powerful storm has the ability to change your perspective through its ability to show severe strength and damage in which it can cause before, during and after its activity. Furthermore, it may change someone's perspective to show how devasting and life-changing a powerful storm can be.
Hail additionally has the ability to change one's perspective of their surroundings and the world as they once knew it as it can similarly show its effects on the world. In addition to this, it can show how peculiar things may expand one's mind.
