They built a secret treasure room to hide the gold but decided they could keep what they carried out. The king noticed they were bulkier than before. Caught like rats in a trap.

CONGRATULATIONS BigRedJake!

 

Two men were asked by their king to carry out a certain task. They did this entirely to his satisfaction and went to him seeking their just reward. However, the king decreed instead that they both be severely punished. Why did he do this?

 

The king had asked the men to design and build the world's strongest strongroom, where he could safely keep his treasures. Once he was fully satisfied with the workings of the strongroom, he had the men executed so that they could tell no one it's secrets.
