Short story on The peasant and the King.
Answers
Answer:
Once upon a time, there was a little peasant boy who hated his life as a peasant. Everyday he grew more and more miserable with his life. But one day the King said that he had a long lost son and that people could be knighted even if they were peasants. Because of that the little peasant decided to take the journey to become a knight.
Because of that the peasant got up early every morning to finish his jobs and try to be knighted. The King noticed the little peasant boy one day when he was going to see the people of his kingdom. Because of that the King came to the village more often acting as a peasant himself just to see the little peasant boy. Because of that he started to notice how he and the little peasant boy had some similar features such as their determined green eyes and their messy brown hair. Or a least the peasants messy hair for the Kings remained groomed to perfection even when he was acting. The little peasant noticed that this strange man came to the village more and more and often watched the boy.
Because this man kept coming to the village the boy came outside less and less but when he did go out the man was never to far away and smiled when he saw the boy.
The boy thought about asking him why he watched him so often but his mother's words flowed into his mind “ if you see a man watching you don't go near him because older men are dangerous to young boys.” Looking up he noticed that the man had moved closer, eyes locked on the boy and smile growing wider. The little boy became afraid and ran back to his home and pulled the door shut behind him.
Because the King had moved closer to the boy he ran and the King couldn't figure out why. Standing up he walked to the home the boy ran into and looked through the window. Not knowing the boy was changing, the boy turned around and immediately the King's face went red but a small smile crept onto his face because he was now sure that this boy was his long lost son.
The boy, dressed showing hardly any skin, crept out the door and said he wished the man would go away and pretend that this never happened. Trying to touch the boy to stop him from leaving the boy shaked and started to pull his clothes tighter around him the King realised he could never fix the small bond they had and that he should respect the boy's wish. Not to long after the kingdom had heard that the King died of a broken heart. The boy felt a little bad but the King had made a bad first impression so the boy had started to shut down and became isolated from the village only going out to get food. The end
