The Tyrant King is overthrown by his Son

Once upon a time outside the City of Rome, there was a rude and cruel King called Alexander. The King had a beautiful wife called Anna.

Anna had a good habit and was a generous woman. Ana had a different character compared to her husband, the king.

King Alexander wanted everyone to follow his rules and if you didn't obey his rules, he would punish you by beating you or putting you in jail and killing you.

King Alexander did not like to help people, therefore no one went to ask him for help.

One day a man went to ask the king for money to pay his sons' school fees so that they could continue their studies, the king said to him "Do you think this wealth of mine has come without any effort, this is because of my intelligence and work. Go work and get it". You have given birth to children and then I have to pay for their school fees. Do you have any sense?

The King ordered his guards to flog him and then take him out.

The King and his wife had a son named Tom. The King loved his son very much because he was known to be the only heir to his throne. Therefore, the King made every effort to ensure that Tom got a good education to enable him to come and occupy his place.

Tom was sent to study in the United States. There, he went to study military training for seven years. And after his studies, Tom returned and became a great army officer in his father's royal administration.

In the castle of King ALEXANDER there was a dog that had a special job to chew people who failed to obey the king's orders.

A person who has not obeyed the king's order, is sent to a special place to be punished. On that day different people are invited to witness the punishment.

Many people hated the bad behaviour of the king including his wife and his son Tom.

King Alexander had many fields of various crops. In his fields there was corn, rice, beans, etc. When the harvest time came, he would send his workers to harvest all the fruits and bring them to his palace. In that harvest season, many poor people went to the king's farm, hoping that they would get something at least. But it was the opposite, the King ordered that the poor should not be given anything and eventually they were kicked out.

There was one worker who was very compassionate, when he saw the poor were not given anything, his soul hurt a lot. And said to himself "I will help them".When night came, he stole hundreds of sacks of various foods and sent them to the poor who were expelled.

After several days the king got the news that the sacks were stolen . King Alexander called his slave and told him that he must bring the sacks of food he stole, or he would be eaten by wolves

The Slave was given two weeks to return the food he stole. But he was not ready to return the sacks of food he had stolen

When the day of punishment came, as usual people gathered to witness how the slave will be eaten by the wolf. Then the people waited with great eagerness and enthusiasm. So the slave was taken out to a special place and the wolf was petting him and playing with him. The king wondered why the wolf was not doing his job.

When the Slave was asked by the King, he said "I did good to this wolf, that's why he repays me good". I spent a week feeding him, washing him, and playing with him, that's why today this dog returns the kindness I did to him

The King ordered the slave to be imprisoned.

Many people were not satisfied with the behaviour of the King, Prince Tom and his mother too. Prince Tom held a secret meeting with the king's forces to overthrow his father. They all agreed with one voice that Prince Tom should take the place of his father.

One night at midnight, the soldiers invaded the King's room and handcuffed him on his hands and feet and sent him to jail. When the morning came, it was announced that King Alexander had been overthrown by his son and was in jail until his death.

That day people were happy and held a ceremony to welcome the new regime and enjoyed the action taken by Prince Tom to put the violent king in jail.

And that was the end of the tyrant King Alexander.
