There Must be Something Good In it

Once there was a  king and he got a  close friend who had a habit of remarking "this is good" about every occurrence in life no matter how it is good or bad. Whatever happened he will just say  there must be something good in it dont worry and It was completely his habit.. King always used to take his this friend with him while he went for hunting. One day
the king and his  friend were out hunting. The king's friend loaded a gun and handed it to the king but  he loaded it really wrong  way and when the king fired it, his thumb was blown off cause if it..

The moment its happened according to his habit he spoke up

"This is good!" dont worry.....

The horrified and bleeding king get too much angry and  become really  furious. "How can you say this is good? This is obviously horrible!" and too bad. I just lost my thumb" he shouted.

The king decide to punished him and put his friend in jail.

About a year later the king went hunting by himself. While hunting few Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to it. They wanted to make his barbecue  As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. Being
superstitious, they never ate anyone who was less than whole or missing any part of the body. So they untied the king and sent him free on his way.

When the king get free from those cannibals the king realized his missing thumb saved his life and he remembered his friend. 

Full of remorse the king rushed to the prison to release his friend.

"You were right, it WAS good" the king said to his friend.

Then The king told his friend how the missing thumb saved his life and
added, now  he felt so sad that he locked him up in jail. That was such a bad
thing to do with his friend.

Then as usual he spoke up again.

"NO! this is good!" and this time he get really delighted..

The kings get annoyed again "Oh, how could that be good my friend, I did a terrible thing to you while I owe you my life".

"Then kings friend said to him.It is good "because if I wasn't in jail, I would have been
hunting with you this time also and they would have captured me with you and  killed ME."

the king asked him why

Then his friends replied  "Thats because i dont have a missing thumb"
