    to walk to a crossroads and tell the secret to the first tree he met. He done what the King told him and he got better again. Two days after a man was playing a harp in the Kings palace and he broke the harp. He mended it with a piece of the tree which the son had told the secret of the Kings ears. When he played it again there was no music only the words "Labra the King has horses ears." After that the people knew the secret of the Kings.
