The king of the country was a great gourmet. His favorite activity was eating. All day long he would sample various dishes and succulent morsels of the foods his esteemed royal chefs placed before him. When he wasn't tasting exotic substances he ruled his kingdom, which happened to be quite advanced in the culinary arts. This was his life.

One day he was eating a carefully prepared salmon fillet when he chanced upon something unusual. The king had discovered a small bone in his fish. It choked him and made his royal throat quite sore, which severely distressed him. As soon as the bone was extracted from his system he decided that nothing of the sort should ever happen again, to him or anyone else. He called up his royal lawmaker, and told him:

"I want you to make a law."

The royal lawmaker said "yes, that is my job; what do you want the law to be?" The king then proceeded to tell him of his plan.

"I decree that no fish should be allowed to have bones, and any such possession of said item is to be punishable by death. All fish are now required to be boneless."

Though the lawmaker thought this an immeasureably idiotic idea, he wrote it down. After all, what could he do? Talk back to the king and bad things happen...

Several weeks later the king was dining upon an especially delicious piece of halibut when he found another bone. This one got lodged in his throat and choked him to death.

The end.

The moral of the story is: Powerful idiots are no better than normal idiots.

guess what?
that amazing story being read while listening to La Noyee makes for quite swell entertainment!

i tried writing a suquel to one of my stories once
but i don't really remember how it turned out. and my notebook got stolen. so i can't go look. which kinda sucks, and i can't find the original either. arg. it was something about a crayon, a...backpack? and a pocket protector who live in a town under a bed. in the first one the pocket protector feels bad cause his parents are mouth guards, and he's a nerdy pocket protector. and his dust bunny gets lost up in the Spring mountains or w/e, and he has to save it before (something about the dude going to sleep and flattening anything in the Spring Mountains) and the bedbugs eat it. then they jump off of the mountains right before the Great Falling or w/e it was called.

Your story is probably the best short story I've ever written.

We're making children's books in my Graphic Com class, and mine was about a giraffe and a lion, but if it's alright with you, I might just redo all my graphics and have it follow this story line. Ha.
