A long time ago, when the people were pure at heart and kind at words. Life was serene and beautiful in the little kingdom of Engleshia. There reigned a king so generous and so soft at people, that he could be considered the first if not the only of the kings that could have been so pious of deeds and kind of words. Their king, King George the 3rd, was well known for his witty speeches and well crafted words. He once loudly announced in the court,
"Tear away the curtain and show the people how puppeteers pull the strings to set out such magnificent drama. Break away the bars and show the people, how much terrifying can be the roar of a lion when outside. Uncage the bird and let the people see how high can tiny things soar."
The court was puzzled and looked to one and other. Amongst them, the flattering feudal the lord Samuel of wales, stood and with clapping hands exalted the wisdom of king and remarked,
"Great is our king and greater is his wisdom, for he knows the truth behind sheaths of lie and power beneath the years of silence. His majesty lights the candle of wisdom not only for himself but for his people too. Bravo bravo my king, you shall be acclaimed and exalted throughout history."
The king was filled with confidence and elegance, looked at his wise prime minister and said, "Oh my prime, what keeps you so silent and thoughtful at this very moment when history is being redefined and the masses are being awarded the wand of joy and wisdom".
The prime minister, Sir John Williams, carefully and cautiously spoke with a rather shallow tone and deep phonics. He said,
"Your majesty, Pardon me for what I put forth may not please much. if you show the people how puppeteers pull the strings, they might understand and not let any of us dictate our terms. If you tell the people what a loin is when outside, i fear they might come out of their caged homes. And lastly, if you tell them that even tiny things can fly, they may no more pin their hopes on you to take them to heights. So my majesty, let there be light but not enough to let them see what they must not."
King remained silent for a while and then went back to his rest room with a heavy heart.
