Pretty interesting. Many people see things incorrectly and believe what they see. Then when given the opportunity to see correctly, they turn it down. They are too comfortable saying this is good and that is bad because of its color or something else, even if they are wrong! The King is right. This peddler is going to get rich, just because of the way people think, "Stinky".
The Peddler looked at the King and said, “I must admit however, it would be fine with me if in some kingdom there were many people who wanted to deal with this world and their life as it really is, rather than how they want or expect it to be. Then they would all keep the glasses. You see, Your Majesty, although I make a lot of money, this responsibility is weighing on me heavily and I would just as soon be rid of all of them.”
Once again the King smiled and said, “Now that I have my glasses and see life and people as they really are, I can predict that you will have many more years of travel before you will find enough people who are willing to change and deal with life as it really is. You will not be able to be rid of all of your Magic Glasses.”
The Peddler sighed, bowed very low and slowly left the King’s company to continue his journey.
