Dynasty and a parrot-like tree


King Brahmadatta of Kashi was fed up with his four sons, each one of whom seemed more doltish than the other.  

They were getting into their teens, but still fought like babies and paid not attention to their teachers; unaware of their duties as princes of the realm.

Looking a the foolish faces of his stupid sons, the king suffered a tiny pang for what he was about to do. But knew very well that his duty as king, came first.
