The Envious and the Stingy

An envious and a stingy stood in front of a king, He said to them, "Ask for anything you want, and I will give the second the weakness of the first request." Neither of them wanted the other to take more than that, so they quarreled for a long time, asking each other to ask first. The king said, "If you do not do what you have commanded, you have cut off your heads." And he said to the king, "Take my eyes off my eyes!"
