What King? What Country?
The king... His subjects... His Country... His wishes... His desires... He is the Supreme... He imposes... He proposes... He disposes... A bird then became and played the GOD! And... The subjects then found a bleeding King! He managed to get his nose cut off! What did the bird do? Cut off His nose? The bird only asked some questions... Stated some facts... And the King... ...Discontent ended in bruised nose! Now... What about His subjects... Country... Kingdom...? Well Ours Is A Democracy! Sure? !!!
Author’s note: Sometimes fables meant for children take wings and fly away with our sleep! Isn’t it?
