Alexander The Great
Alexander's last wishes: - By Lalit Adhikari Alexander The Great, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On his way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander The Great realized, how his conquests,his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail." With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.
