The New Minister

complete the story Sheru the Lion, the king of animals, expressed his desire to have a new minister.
Immediately three animals came forward:
Tingi the boar,
Tanga the rabbit and
Tongo the monkey.
"Come forward," said Sheru.
The three candidates came forward and sat in front of the lion.
"I need a new minister," said Sheru.
"The one I select for this post must have the gift to be able to say the right thing at the right time." Sheru continued, "My last minister lacked this ability."
"I have it," said Tingi the boar.
"No, I have it," said Tanga the rabbit.
"No, No, only I have that ability," said Tongo the monkey.
"OK, OK, I will test it now itself," said Sheru, "He who speaks most wisely will be my new minister."
"Tingi, come forward," said Sheru.
Tingi the boar came forward.
Sheru opened his mouth and asked, "Is my breath sweet or not?"
Tingi smelled the breath.
It was foul but to please the king he said, "O great king, never have I smelled such a sweet breath! It smells like jasmine."
"Just as I thought," Sheru said, "You're a flatterer and would be a danger to me and my kingdom."
Saying so the lion pounced on Tingi and killed the boar.
The lion next asked Tanga to come forward.
"Is my breath sweet or not?," asked the lion.
Tanga was more cautious and said, "Sir, I am not a flatterer, I always say the truth. Your breath indeed smells very bad."
"Just as I suspected," said Sheru "You speak directly, without considering other's feelings. Such a minister is a menace to the community.
Sheru pounced on Tanga and killed it.
"Now it is your turn," said Sheru to Tongo, "Is my breath foul as Tanga said or sweet as Tingi said?


What did Tongo say? Did Sheru appoint Tongo as the Minister?

HERE ARE THE STORY ENDINGS FROM OUR VALUABLE VIEWERS.

Tongo said,"I don't have the ability to smell so I can't smell your breath." The King was glad with Tongo's answer and appointed him as the Minister.

"Sorry O King, I have caught a severe cold,so I am unable to tell if your breath is foul or sweet ," replied Tongo. The King was happy with Tongo's reply and appointed him as the Minister.

When Sheru, the lion opened his mouth in front of Tongo, Tongo must have said that he could not smell his breath as his nose was closed with clod so he could not smell anything. After this answer Sheru, the lion must have selected Tongo as his Minster as Tongo had instant wit, he didn't tell lie and he didn't hurt Sheru's feelings. Sheru knew himself that his breath was not sweet. After Tongo's reply Sheru would easily understand that if he makes Tongo his minister then Sheru will be benefited only as Tongo was intelligient.

Smruthi

Tongo was a wise monkey (unlike the other ones). He told the king "Your Highness! Your breath is indeed foul but wait I'll give you the special Teeth cleaner which I invented. It is used by the humans. They call it Tooth paste. When you dip this brush I give you, your breath will become sweet as Tingi said." Now Sheru knew whom to appoint his minister. "Marvellous! You told the truth as well as the treatment for it. You are the ideal minister." said Sheru. And Tongo served the king wisely.

Tongo was wiser. It said to the king " Oh my majesty ! I think I am having a cold. I could'nt probably identify whether it smells good or not. Therefore please excuse me. This witty reply of tongo the monkey pleased the king and thus the king renounced tongo as his new minister. Tongo understood the situation and told an answer that would possibly make the king happy.

Tongo asked Sheru to smell his breath, and asked Sheru if his breath smelled the same. Sheru said, "I'll not smell your breath because I am your King!"
