The Tsar did not agree with the answers of the learned men as they all gave different answers.
Since the answers of the learned men further confused the Tsar, he decided to consult a wise hermit again.The hermit was famous for his wisdom.
The Tsar went to visit the hermit in a forest which the hermit never quitted, wearing simple clothes as the hermit used to meet only common people. Before reaching the hermit’s hut, the Tsar got off from his horse, left his bodyguard behind and went alone.
