The King Who Was Eaten For Breakfast

A beautifully animated tale from India about a Punjabi King who allowed himself to be fried and eaten for breakfast each day by a hermit, in return for being allowed to give unlimited gold to all his subjects. The King learns that his generosity is selfish as he gives away gold in return for adoration from his people. This encourages children to consider the true meaning of generosity, and shows that giving and being generous can be different things.
