His drunken staff
King Otto
Otto had an old servant, Max, who sometimes drank a little bit. Once, as he was drunk, he fell off the stairs and when the King heard the noise hastened to help him. Then, he asked him: “Did you hurt yourself?” Another day, he saw his hunter, blind drunk, falling in front of him. The only thing he told him was: “This was really unconscious of you.” He did not reprimand him more, nor did he dismiss him.
