Hey guys I got a question for you.
Okay I was watching the secret level, Specifically the episode called "new world", and as you could guess I was fascinated by the story. But as I thought about it more, i kind of realized there was two other versions of it, one was from YU-GI-HO GX and the other was that one animated thor movie when thor was young. (And I believe it had to do with the sword of flames)
Anyways, when I thought about that, I begin to wonder what was the original tale? Like, given how there's three, i'm probably more versions of this premise of a king, who believed himself to be skilled at everything, only to wind up being bad at everything all because the servants feared what would happen if they win so they deliberately lose just to make the king believe he was everything.
I got a feeling it came from somewhere, but I have no clue of what the original tale was. So I wanted to ask you guys, if any one of you know what idea it originated from. I kind of want to hear the original tale.
