मूर्खों के राज्य में राजा और दसके मंगी दोनो ही मूर्ख थे। उनके राज्य में सारी चीजें उल्टी करने का आदेश राजा देते थे उन्हो ने रात को दिन में और दिन को रात में बदलने का निर्णय किया। लोग दिन में सोते और रात में काम करते थे। अगर कोई ऐसा नहीं करता तो उन्हे मृत्युदंड दिया जाता था।

एक बार गुरु और शिष्य दोनो शहर में घूमने आए। दिन में किसी भी तरह की गतिविधि नही थी। प्रत्येक लोग दिन में सोते रहते थे। लोग रात में जगते थे और अपना सारा काम करते थे। गुरु और उसके शिष्य बहुत भूखे थे। उन्होंने कुछ खरीदने का निश्चय किया । प्रत्येक सामान की कीमत सिर्फ एक डड्डू थी । यह उनके लिए बड़ा ही अनूठा अनुभव था। इसे देखकर गुरु ने उस शहर को छोड़ने का निश्चय किया। लेकिन उसके शिष्य ने ऐसा नही किया। वह वहाँ पर सिर्फ सस्ते खने के चक्कर में रह गया। उसने खूब भोजन किया और परिणाम स्वरूप: बहुत मोटया गया।

एक घर में चोर ने घसकर चोरी किया। अचानक ही घर दीवार टूटकर उसके सिर पर गिर गई। उसकी मौत हो गई। अब चोर का भाई न्याय पाने के लिए राजा के पास गया। उसने उस घर के मालिक को अपने भाई का हत्यारा बताया।

राजा ने घर के मालिक को बुलाया और उस व्यक्ति की मौत का जिम्मेवार ठहराया। लेकिन उसने ऐसा मानने से इंकार कर दिया। उसने कहा कि राजमिस्त्री ने कमजोर दीवार बनाई। राजा ने राजमिस्त्री को बुलाया। उसने वोला कि दीवार बनाते समय उसने स्वय को काम पर एकाग्र नही कर पाया। क्योकि जब वह दीवार बना रहा था एक नाचने वाली लड़की गली में घुम रही थी इसलिए उसकी मोत की जिम्मेवार वह लड़की है ।

राजा ने उस लड़की को बुलाया। उसने बोला कि उसने कुछ जेवरात बनाने के लिए सोनार को दिया थे। वह बहुत आलसी था। इसलिए उसने समय पर जेवरात नही दिया। इस कारण उसे गलियो मे आना-जाना पड़ा। यह किसी और की नही बल्कि सोनार की गलती थी।

सोनार ने बताया की एक अमीर व्यक्ति के घर में शादी थी। इसलिए वह उसके लिए जेवरात तैयार कर रहा था। इसी कारण वह नाचने वाली लड़की समय पर जेवरात नही दे पाया।

राजा ने अमीर व्यक्ति को बुलाया और उसे चोर का हत्यारा घोषित कर दिया वह घर का मालिक था। उसके कहा कि उसके पिता ने जेवरात का आदेश दिया था। जो कि अब इसदुनिया में नही है। इसलिए उसने उस घर के मालिक को दंडित करने का आदेश दिया। इसलिए उसके लिए फांसी का फंदा तैयार किया। लेकिन उसकी गर्दन बहुत पतली थी। लेकिन वह फंद के लिए उपयुक्त नही थी। तब राजा ने एक ऐसे व्यक्ति की तलाश करने की बात बोली जो उस फंसी के लिए उपयुक्त है।

अब शिष्य को इस कार्य के लिए उपयुक्त ठहराया गया अत्यधिक खाना खाकर वह बहुत अधिक मोट हो गाया। शिष्य बहुत चिंतित था। उसने अपने गुरु की मदद इस कार्य के लिए मागी। गुरु को जादुई और दैवीय शक्ति प्रात थी। इसलिए वह उसके सामने मदद के लिए आया ।

गुरु और शिष्य के बीच संघर्ष शुरु हुआ सबसे पहले गुरु मरने के लिए तैयार हुआ। लेकिन यह ईश्वर के लिए के न्याय का फंदा था। इसका प्रयोग पहले कभी नही हुआ था। जो भी इसमें पहले मरेगा वह एक राजा के रुप में जन्म लेगा। दूसरा व्यक्ति जो मरेगा वह मंत्री होगा।

पूरे मामले को देखकर राजा एक निर्णय लेता है । वह दूसरे जन्म में भी राज्य पाने के लोभ में मरना चाहता है। उसने अपने दूसरे मंत्री से बात की राजा ने कहा कि सर्वप्रथम वह और उसके मंत्री फांसी के फंदे पर चढेगे जिससे कि वह अगले जन्म में राजा और मंत्री बन जाए | गुरु और उसके शिष्य को मुक्त कर दिया गया। राजा और उसके मंत्री को उसकी जगह पर फांसी दी गई ।

राजा और उसके मंत्री की फंसी के बाद जनता ने उसकी मृत्यु पर शोक जताया। वे उस राज्य के राजा और मंत्री बन गए। उन्होने राज्य का नियम बदल दिया। सभी चीजें व्यवस्थित हो गयी। लोगो ने अब दिन में काम करना और रात में सोना शुरू कर दिया। डड्डू व्यवस्था को खत्म बरा गाया। राज्य में शांति कायम हो गई और लोगों ने अपनी जिंदगी व्यतीत करना शुरू कर दिया
