at last the crme de la crme of the generals came up with a foolproof idea their sting penetrated even the rhinoskinned king thats the beauty of the plan like one yelped why was a thoroughfare closed just because he decided to build a summer palace by the lake you announce the name of the rebel as your next man but the most dangerous thing the coterie observed was that his utterings could be given too much importance foxes like to howl anyway his car was the latest model from italy guaranteed to maintain the privacy of the occupant he started his life working with the common people one howled why were the grounds around his home full of putrid garbage when his garden was full of flowers like napoleon or hitler if you like his diminutive stature was no hindrance to his absolute hold over the people he didnt claim a royal lineage anyway thats not important there was some rumour about foxes lynched or something for howling and from within his court too but slowly he changed an instance of history repeating itself well consult you at every step anyway that s cool declared the king in an unexpectedly modern language stupid even the palace intrigues are repetitive he smiled at the their look of astonishment and clarified thats what my model granddaughter says all the time something had to be done and fast unfortunately the rebel leader happened to be honest and still close to the people how could he folk tales tend to repeat themselves most damaging of all the bees were talking of replacing the queen bee and wanted the rebel to take over foxes you said meetings sans the rebel were held in the northern fort in the recesses of alliance fort wait at the time of your stepping down you also announce that for better governance and to ensure that somebody doesnt become too powerful as to ignore the people the counsellors had the grace to keep their eyes downcast a committee of devoted public servants will be appointed and they have to authenticate any decisions of the leader and of course well block the plans that dont suit us people will compare him with you indeed the bees were getting restless and humming more he was popular the kings trusted confidante from the northern front whispered hes dangerous the problem was they couldnt pin down the rebel as a rebel didnt he see hmm sounds familiar the king was puzzled however as all stories go the king had to face a rebellion this one is no different even if the setting is at the end of the century like any dictator worth his or her salt he too had his own inner circle whose job was to keep him happy and screen him from the unnecessary howling of foxes read subjects in the land of paschim bhoomi lived a king but the people increasingly out of touch and unhappy
