Becoming Doctor Knowall

Determined, Albert took the first step toward his new identity.

The next morning, he visited the village tailor and ordered a long, impressive coat—something that would make him look distinguished.

He then carved a wooden sign that read “Doctor Knowall” in bold letters and placed it outside his house.

At first, the villagers were skeptical, but curiosity got the better of them.

One by one, people began visiting Albert for small ailments, minor injuries, and even personal advice.

With his sharp mind and keen observation, Albert provided simple but effective remedies. His reputation grew, and soon, people truly believed he had special knowledge.

The Nobleman’s Dilemma

One day, Albert’s newfound profession faced its biggest challenge. A wealthy nobleman arrived at his doorstep, his face filled with worry.

“Doctor Knowall,” the nobleman said, “I have a terrible problem. My treasure has been stolen, and I suspect one of my servants has taken it. I’m offering a grand reward to anyone who can find it!”

Albert’s heart pounded. He was no detective! But he had come too far to admit defeat. He took a deep breath and confidently replied, “I will help you, my lord. Lead me to your estate, and by morning, I shall have your answer.”

The Clever Trick

At the nobleman’s grand estate, Albert was led to a room where all the servants stood in a row, their faces filled with anxiety.

Albert studied them but could not immediately tell who was guilty. He needed a clever way to expose the thief.

That evening, as he lay in the guest chamber, an idea struck him. He would use psychology instead of evidence.

He gathered all the servants and declared, “Tomorrow, each of you will bring a chicken to the main hall. I will make the guilty chicken cry out when it touches the thief.”

The servants exchanged nervous glances but agreed to follow his instructions.

Unmasking the Thief

The next morning, the nobleman, his guards, and all the servants assembled in the main hall, each holding a chicken. Albert walked among them, carefully observing their expressions.

One servant, in particular, seemed extremely anxious. His hands trembled, his gaze darted around nervously, and he avoided making eye contact.

Albert saw his opportunity and boldly pointed at the man. “This is the thief! His guilty conscience betrays him.”

Gasps filled the hall as the nobleman turned to the accused servant. Under pressure, the man broke down and confessed, revealing where he had hidden the stolen treasure.

Quote of the Day

True wisdom isn’t in titles, but in the courage to see things others overlook.

A Well-Earned Reward

The nobleman was overjoyed. He rewarded Albert handsomely with gold and gifts, thanking him for his wisdom and insight.

Albert returned to his village, now richer not only in wealth but also in reputation.

People now fully believed in Doctor Knowall’s abilities, and he continued to help the villagers with his practical wisdom and clever thinking.

At the End

True wisdom isn’t in titles but in the courage to see things others overlook. Albert may not have been a real doctor, but he had the intelligence and perception to solve problems, making him truly worthy of respect.

From that day forward, Doctor Knowall was not just a name—it was a legend.
