"You're beautiful," the king said to the bird on his wall.
"Thank you. I think so, too," said the bird, "But I'm missing something."
"What's that?" asked the king.
"The wind under my wings," said the bird, flying away.

"I don't believe in ghosts," said the king.
"I don't believe in kings," said the ghost.
"The one of us must be mistaken," said the king.
"So it seems," said the ghost, spiriting himself away.

The King and the Fishing Net
The King and the Fishing Net
"Why are you full of holes?" the king asked the net. "How will you catch everything for me like that?"
"I won't catch everything," said the net, "Only a few fish. The sea has to stay where it is. That's why I have holes."
"That makes sense," said the king, clearing his throat. "What would I do with the sea at my palace? Who has room for a whole ocean?"

The King and the Tree
"What do you do with your crown?" asked the king.
"Well," said the tree, "I let birds live in it. And the wind. Children hide there too."
"I see," said the king, and he stood for a while listening to the leaves.

The King and the Rain
The King and the Rain
"My crown's going to get rusty," said the king. "Can't you stop?"
"Even if I do," said the rain, "your crown will still rust. And so will you."
"True," said the king when he'd thought it over.
"In that case, I might as well take a shower."
So he stood outside with his face to the sky and let the rain wash his cheeks.
