The Court Jester and the King.
“This will raise our expenses enormously”. “Do not exaggerate; think of the benefits of these new findings…” “We could expand our Kingdom”. The counselors squabbled on… The King became tired; it was already a long meeting. “Sing us a song, Jester and bring some light in these dark chambers or I’ll chop of your head”.
The Jester thought of all conversations with the King and the counselors, the intrigues and conspiracies, he analyzed the situation… and start to sing. A song full of Mystic and strange words that gave all a vision on what had to come. It connected all the stories of the counselors and the King. They became aware of where they could improve and what to keep because it was good. Nevertheless the Jester spotted with the intrigues and conspiracies made them laugh…. Until the song stopped, all became quiet and looked at the King. The King did not look amused…, all looked at the Jesters head. The Jester had a humble smile on his face. The queen shouted “Hurray”… and the King started to smile. He made a firm decision, and all nodded their heads. Later in the corridor one of the counselors approached the jester: “You have an easy job, you walk and talk and sing and still the King and queen likes you. What do you do? I listen, replied the Jester.
