### [156.1](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.156.1)

انگور شگال خورذ وینبه روباه سدیگر : چون سریر دولت از منصب شاهی خالی وعاطل مانذ ، ومملکت را وارث ومستحقی نبوذ ، کی چهار بالش دولت بوی آراسته گردذ ، دشمن قصد این دیار کنذ ، وبقلع واستیصال ما کوشذ ، ودمار از اهل این دیار برآرذ ، واگر ما این حادثه را تدارک نکنیم ، وبرأی تاقب تلافی ننمائیم ، وبال ونکال آن بما راجع ک شوذ . وزرا گفتند : اگر پاذشاه بی مشورت وبدبیر ما عزیمتی بامضا رسانذ، واز ما دران استخارت نفرموذه باشذ ، اذیت عواقب وبلست اواخر آن بما چگونه باز گردذ ؟ وزیر بزرگترین گفت : اکر شما بر سمت بدبیر من بروید ، وسخن مرا ا مؤثر شناسید، بشما همان رسذ کی بپوزینگان رسیذ کی سخن امیر وکلانتر خوذ نشنیذند تا بغرامت آن مأخوذ شذند . پرسیذند : چگونه بوذ آن داستان ؟ باز گوی !

> The jackal eats the grapes, and the fox is struck.  
> 'Thirdly, when the throne of sovereign power remains empty and deprived of royal rank, and the kingdom has  
> no heir and claimant by whom the four-cushioned throne of rule might be adorned, the enemy will aim at this  
> realm, strive to root us out and destroy us, and bring ruin upon the people of this land. And if we  
> do not remedy this occurrence or make amends with piercing judgment, its misfortune and ruin will return upon us.' The viziers said: 'If the king executes a resolution without our counsel and deliberation,  
> and has not sought advice from us concerning it,  
> how can the harm of its consequences and the disaster of its outcomes fall back upon us?' The eldest vizier said: 'If you stray from the course of my counsel,  
> and do not consider my word to be effective,  
> the same will befall you that befell the monkeys who did not heed the word of their commander  
> and elder, until they were caught in the penalty for it.' They asked: 'How was  
> that story? Recount it!'
