the king

the king doesn't trust the information 

that he gets from his advisors 

he thinks that either the advisors are incorrect 

or the sources of his advisors are incorrect 

he assumes that it's because of incompetence and misunderstandings 

because his advisors are loyal types 

the king dresses like a commoner 

and he walks among the people in the streets of the city 

and he walks among the people on the roads of the countryside 

people in the city and the countryside 

hear rumors that the king is walking among the people 

in the city and on the countryside 

old men swears 

and old women mutters 

young men become agitated 

and young women become excited 

children are quiet 

some bandits come into the village 

and ask questions 

then other bandits come into the city 

and ask questions 

the knights goes to the villages looking around 

and the soldiers goes to the city looking around 

one evening some bandits goes to the tavern to drink 

some drunk bandits asks the whores what they think of the king 

the whores laughs 

some drunk workers seem angry 

and ask loudly what the bandits say about the king 

the bartender looks sternly at them 

the bandits talk to themselves 

and the workers talk to themselves 

they look suspiciously at each other 

the workers talked about work being hard 

so the bandits think that the workers want to murder the king 

and the bandits talked about treasure

so the workers think that the bandits want to kidnap the king 

the workers and the bandits start screaming at each other about the king 

others in the tavern think that the king is in danger 

but they wonder where he is 

one old drunk man screams that he is the king 

the bandits look at the old man 

a young man screams that he is the king 

the workers look at the young man 

another man who isn't even drunk screams that he is the king 

both the bandits and the workers look at that man 

more men in the bar claim that they are the king 

one of the bandits goes to the bartender

and tells him that the king saved his mother from starvation 

by sending her food 

and one of the workers grabs a whore 

and tells her that the king saved his father's farm from tough times 

by sending him animals 

the bandits came to the city because they wanted to protect the king 

since the king had helped some of their relatives before 

and the workers were in the city because they wanted to protect the king 

since the king had helped some of their relatives before 

two young sisters came into the tavern 

they giggle as they whispered to each other 

about who they met on the street
