One day a benevolent king convened a meeting of scholars of his kingdom and directed them to compile the wisdom of ages. The wise men worked for long and finally submitted 10 volumes and proudly stated that the volumes contained "The wisdom of the ages". The king looked at the volumes and commented that they were too voluminous and, therefore, nobody would read them. So he requested them to condense those volumes. The scholars again went for work and returned with only one volumes. The king felt that it too was lengthy and so asked them to further reduce its size. The scholars condensed the volume to a chapter; but the king was dissatisfied until it was reduced to a sentence. When the king read the sentence he was enthralled and elated and spiritedly stated, " This is truly the wisdom of the ages." The sentence simply read, " There is no free lunch there are no freebies."
