A golden throne be-speckled with many precious stones. It glints in every eye that falls upon it. It is 20 ft tall and 5 ft wide. Swords from enemies of the king line the back of the chair.

I am a visitor in this land. We have traveled far to find land of our own. Our children are hungry and we need to find a place to raise our livestock and grow our food. The kingdom wants us to pay heavy taxes. We will have to fight to be able to have a place of our own.
Oh Fool that's wonderful! What is it? A free execution!  Oh no! If I die my children shall surely starve! Would you like me to gaze into my crystal ball and see what will happen to them? A little divination might be a comfort ...  Okay just don't loose your head if you don't like what I see.  ...  Oh dear! The crystal ball says they aren't your children. Your neighbor is actually the father. Oh, well then he can pay the taxes. Perhaps death will be a mercy ... I won't have to listen to your terrible jokes any more. Ha. Ha. Look and tell me what you see.  Ummmm... a contact juggling ball? Try harder.
