Prince is not happy with the way life is regarded as the prisoners and completely separate from the outside world. One day the Prince visited his father and said, "Daddy, may I take a walk outside the palace to see the ways of life people who would i command to." Because the request is reasonable, then the King gave permission. "Well, my son, you must exit the palace to see how people live in the city. But first I must make preparations so that everything is good and deserves to receive the arrival of my son is good. "Once people finished decorating the city as ordered by the king, the king summoned the Prince to face. "My son, now you can go to see the city with your heart's content."
When Prince was walking down a street in the city, with a sudden an old man out of a small shack. Man's hair was long and white all, the skin dry and wrinkled face, his eyes were almost blind, his clothes ragged and filthy. Her teeth are missing, his body emaciated and with great difficulty and bent supported by a cane to walk without ignoring the people around him are happy.
With a weak voice and very slowly she beg for food and said if not given food, he would die that day because he was hungry and had a few days without eating. Seeing the old man, Prince impressed at all because things like this for the first time in the saw. "why Is it,Channa? It's not impossible for a human. Why is he so bent? Why does he tremble when walking? Why is his hair white and not black like my hair? What's wrong with her eyes? And his teeth go? Are there people who are born like that? Tell me, oh good Channa. What does all this? "

What does all this? "
Channa explained to the Prince that all that is the affair of the old, but not the situation when born. "When I was young, people are like us and now that he was very old then the situation has changed as my lord seen. Should lord forget the old man. Every person that has too long lived in the world would be like the old man. It was not inevitable. "
But Prince was not satisfied with the answer Channa. Prince ordered to immediately return to the palace because the views of parents he had just seen has made him very sad, and he wanted to reflect on these issues in more depth. Why as a prince and also other people in one day must be old, weak and sad, and no one can stop him, though he was rich, respected or powerful?
That night held a large party to entertain the prince. But Prince indifferent, and did not seem happy during the course banquet and dance. He was busy pondering and in wardly told those present, "One day you all will grow old, with no exception and so is you are the prettiest."

After the party was over and the Prince went into the bedroom, thinking it was still bothering him. In bed, he was still thinking that one day everyone will be old, white hair, his skin wrinkled, toothless and ugly like a handy man ask for he had just seen. He wanted to know if anyone has found a way to stop the creepy thing was, that is old age. After the matter was reported to the King, the King became very sad and she was worried that this may cause a prince left the palace. Therefore, the King instructed the ladies in her ladies to more often hold parties dining and dancing.
A few days later, Prince again pleaded to the King to be allowed again to see the city Kapilavatthu, but now without first notify the residents. With a heavy heart, King gave his permission, because he knows, there is no point banning because it certainly would make the prince was very sad.
On this occasion, the Prince went together Channa and dressed like a royal family because he did not want to be known as walking.

The day was very different views of the city. There are no residents gathered for complaining, no flags, stumps, flowers, and people who dress neatly. But that day the Prince saw people who were busy working.

For the second time in his life, Prince saw something that made him very sad. Prince, known as a loving person, quickly approached him, picked it up, put his head in his lapand entertaining voice asking, "Why do you confess?" The sick man was unable to answer. She sobbed. "Channa, say, why is this guy? What is wrong with his breathing? Why does not he talk? "" Oh, lord, do not touch him for long. The man was sick and poisoned his blood. He was attacked by fever plague and the whole body was on fire. Hence he-whimpered moaned and no longer can speak. "" But does anyone else like him again? "" There, my lord and perhaps the person holding it like that if my lord. Implore for my master put it back on the ground and do not touch it again because it is highly contagious plague.

"" Is there no one who can help him? Are all people to attack the disease? Is illness came suddenly? "" Yes, my lord, everyone in the world can be attacked by the disease. No one can prevent it, and it can happen at any moment. "
Hearing this, the Prince became increasingly sad and back to the palace to contemplate this. The king felt sad because seeing Prince at the time of late, such asless happy in connection with events that have been seen. A few days ago, Prince returned to the King to beg allowed back to see the city approve it because they thought Kapilavatthu. King no use now to prohibit it.

On the stretcher lay a man who was very thin in a state of not moving. Later the group brought a stretcher to the edge of the river and put it on a pile of wood and then lit a fire.The person remained silent and did not move even though the fire had been burning from all angles. "Channa, what is it? Why do people lie there and let someone else burnt themselves? ""He did not know anything else, my lord. The man was already dead. ""Dead! Channa, is this so-called death? And if all people at a time to die? "" Yes, my lord, all living at a time to die. No one can prevent it. "

When the Prince visited Kapilavatthu for the fourth time, in a park, Prince stopped and sat resting under a guava tree. Suddenly the Prince saw a yellow-robed monks with a bowl in hand to him. Prince greeted the hermit and asked usability bowl he was holding.
The hermit replied, "that noble prince, I am a hermit. I have removed themselves from worldliness, leaving relatives to seek a cure for people not to grow old, sick, and die. This bowl I bring to expect food from them the compassionate. Apart from that, I do not want those things and worldly goods. "
