A witch enters the city at night and poisons the well, which is the sole water source for the inhabitants. The next day, everyone drinks from the well and becomes mad, except for the king and a watchman. As the people lose their sanity, they begin to think the king is mad and plot to overthrow him. However, the king, aware of the situation, does not drink from the well. When the people realize the king is sane, they rejoice, recognizing their mistake and the king's wisdom.

This parable is often used to illustrate the dangers of mob mentality and the importance of maintaining one's integrity and wisdom even when surrounded by chaos.
