why tale of melon city more interestind and edifyng

The tale of melon city is interesting and edifying because it offers a scathing satire on the issues of governance and state control. The king's sense of justice needed to be tempered with a good measure of wisdom and common sense. Blindly following the laws without exercising any discretion shows foolhardiness rather than intelligence. It shows that his sense of justice was misguided and he was indeed far too just to be fit to rule.
