This story is from Baghdad,  the story is similar to old Arabian Nights stories, a king wished for himself to build a ***?cret hiding place for himself, to ***?cure himself in case of revolt. The King was a frugal man, and ****?ting the job done, he was a stingy ***?rson, where he will not give generously to the hiding place builder. He ***?cured the ***?rvices of a ****?r ***?mous philosopher, builder called Sinimmar who newly on his own after years of apprenticeship to another King.

In order that the hiding place might know how to get at the palace, should he be inclined to be with the revolt ***?ople, he should keep the ***?cret.  — the King waited until Simimmar completed the palace.

So it was, that Sinimmar knew the ***?cret of the king., ****? did not tell thee king of the ***?cret of the palace. Which stone might lead to conquer the palce by revolt ***?ople. After completing the palace, Sinimmar was with the King on the top of the tower, in that moment, the king ***?ked Sinimmar, about the weakest side of the palace and the less ***?cure to defend himself in case a revolution against him takes place. The King offers Sinimmar a ton of gold if he told him. Sinimmar smiled and said:

-       Well, I can tell you more about a stone in the palace, if you remove it, the whole palace will collapse.

-       What stone? The king ***?ked Sinimmar! “ how can it protect me?

-       I will tell Your Majesty where is it and how in few ***?conds the stone moves to get in, and later the palace will ***?ll on the heads of your *****?ies.  Sinimmar walked to a big stone  in the palace, and showed it to the  king. The king was pleased with the ***?cret. To save himself from paying Sinimmar for his great work, he ***?ked him:

-       Does anyone else knows about this ***?cret? Sinimmar!

-       No! Your Majesty, I am the only one who knows about this ***?cret. The king order the guards to throw Sinimmar from the tower. In few minutes he passed away. The king, to himself said:

-       This is the *****?e of the smart builder. He forgot to protect himself by keeping the ***?cret.
