Najkrajší kvet
There was such a kingdom, there was such a king, who took the advice of stupid and ungrateful people and issued an order that all old people, under threat of death, must be disposed of by his subjects. But in that kingdom there was also one brave man who did not give in to threats and orders and secretly continued to take care of his father with love and respect. And it was his grandfather's advice that saved the kingdom and perhaps all ungrateful and selfish people will come to their senses even today through our fairy tale.
