So, he called in all of the experts of his kingdom and asked them to explain the mysteries of economics in terms that he could grasp. But their explanations were long and windy. Then a page boy came to him. "Your majesty," he said, "there is still one economist on the realm who has not come to the palace, for he is very old. Perhaps, he has the knowledge you seek." "Very well," the king l u 1 ' i i * agreea, nave ine Old man brought before me. But caution him that I wish to learn the science of economics in words that a page boy can understand. Charge him to bring me the knowledge of his years in a single sentence. If he cannot do so, permit him to ignore my summons." The page boy listened. bowed, and departed. The following day, the page returned with an old man. The king spoke harshly, "I trust you have been told the terms of this audience. Tell me in a single sentence the heart of the science of economics. If you cannot, begone."
