The King's Chessboard by David Birch illustrated by Devis Grebu*

The King of India wishes to reward the wise man who has served him well.  The wise man, however, does not wish to rewarded.  The King pushes until the wise man asks to be given rice but the amount doubling after each day.
The King learns about the danger/outcome of pride and about being content.
Excellent story!
*Highly recommend.
