Answer:
“All the answers being different, the King agreed with none of them, and gave the reward to none. But still wishing to find the right answers to his questions, he decided to consult a hermit, widely renowned for his wisdom.”
“The King went up to him and said: ‘I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions: How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need, and to whom should I, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? And, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention?’”
Explanation:
<em>The Three Questions</em> is a short story written by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. It's written as a parable - a simple, short story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson.
It tells about a king who seeks the answers to what he considers the three most important questions in life. He turns to wise men, promising a large sum to the one who manages to give him the answers. However, none of them satisfied him as he found their answers too diverse. Then, he heard of a wise hermit and decided to turn to him for help. In the end, he is the one he receives his answers from.
The quotes that support the conclusion that the author's primary purpose is to teach a lesson are the first and fourth ones. They are the only ones that revolve around the King's questions. The fact that he is looking for answers suggests that we will receive some kind of important lesson at the end of the story.
