the terrible king

a long time ago, there lived a terrible king. the terrible king's wish was that all the people would shake in fear at the sound of his name. the terrible king made the lives of the people in the neighbor land horrible. "here! take everything!"

the terrible king viciously took away all the belongings of the neighbor land. he even scared the poor women and children. the king was not even sorry to the children and women. the terrible king bothered the people of the neighbor land worse and worse everyday. the palace became more and more magnificent.

"put up a statue in the church!" now the terrible king was ordering the church to place a statue of himself there. however, the ministers could not do that." your majesty may be great, but god is even greater."

the terrible king was becoming angry. it was because he thought that he was the greatest in the whole world. then the king was angry. "what! he is greater? then i will defeat god."

in a loud voice, the terrible king said that he would win against god. that's why he ordered that a magnificent ship be built in order to go to the heaven. he said he would ride the ship to go and defeat god. the terrible king rode the ship up to heaven.

from the sky, an angel was sent. however, the terrible king shot over a thousand bullets at the angel. "ahhhhhh" being shot, the angel was bleeding. the blood dropped unto the terrible king's ship. the angel's blood was so heavy that the king's ship sank.

the terrible king became angry, again. "build a more stronger ship." the terrible king wanted a better ship, so he ordered all the workers in his kingdom to build it. "i will defeat god for sure!"

the terrible king went up to heaven, once more. god sent mosquitoes to the terrible king. the terrible king just laughed at the mosquitoes. "go and bring me the best carpet."

the king made another command. he thought that if he wrapped the carpet around his body the mosquitoes would not be able to bite him. but one mosquito went inside of the carpet. because of that one mosquito, the terrible king was rolling around screaming. the terrible king that couldn't even catch one mosquito was a laughingstock for his troops.

last dream for an old oak tree

once upon a time, there was a large oak tree in the forest. this oak tree was very old. one day during the hot summer, a mayfly flew by and alighted on a leaf of the oak tree.

"mayfly, you must be so sad." "why?" "you get to live only one day." the oak tree felt sorry for themayfly. mayfly asked, "don't you live for one day?" "no. i live much longer than you do."

the mayfly nodded and asked, "really? then, are you happy now?" "yes, i am very happy," replied the oak tree.

then the mayfly smiled and said, "i am very happy, too. although i get to live only one day, it doesn't matter. you get to live much longer than i do, but we are both happy, aren't we?" the oak tree and the mayfly kept on talking to each other.

eventually, the mayfly leaned on the oak tree and fell asleep. "mayfly!" the oak tree called the mayfly, but the mayfly did not respond.

it had died. "mayfly, have a happy dream." the oak tree blessed the mayfly for the last time.

many weeks then passed. spring, summer and fall went by, and winter came. finally, the long-awaited day of christmas came. the oak tree wanted to rest now.

the oak tree had a dream on christmas day. in it, pretty flowers were abundant and butterflies were flying in a green forest. in this dream, the oak tree met the mayfly. the mayfly said, "come play here. it is such a happy place." the oak tree was very pleased indeed to see the mayfly.

while the oak tree was sleeping, its roots were cut. it was time for the oak tree to die. the oak tree went to a happy world, dreaming.
