The Jester Who Tricked the King

A long time ago

In the green fields of ancient times

There was a man who loved to play pranks

He would pull out chairs and make people fall on their butts

He would make their ink quills leak or explode

He would make people’s spoons in their soup too hot

So they burned their mouths

He supposedly even invented the Whoopi cushion so people would sit on something and it sounded like the farted!!!!

Well a long time ago he pranked so many people that they all got tired of him

And they went ti the king to complain

And the king though he must be funny, I should make him my Jester!

So the man because the jester and he brought the nobles and the king many years of laughter

The jester often made jokes so bad that people thought “surely the king will have him killed for this”

He made it sound as if the king farted

He grabbed the kings butt and said pardon my lord, I thought you were the queen as a joke, and somehow the king thought it was funny

Well eventually the jester went too far and the king got angry

He was sentenced to death!

But the king still liked the jester, so he granted him one thing

When the jester was set to die, the king said he could choose how he died, for he deserved that much after his years of service

The jester replied, “ I wish to die of….. old age”!!!

The king didn’t know what to do!

He had made an oath!

And he could not kill someone with old age

So he had no choice but to let the jester go!

The jester went on to live many many good years y til he died, of old age, many many years later
