Jeffrey?


Once upon a time there was kingdom far far east of the worlds core and there was a 

king name Jeffrey, Jeffrey was loved by many. Jeffrey would help anybody that would

come to his door, no matter the cost. One day though there came a man, he wasn't dressed

for the role of representing himself to the king, all he had on was a robe, that was 

all teared up with holes in it, and had a scarf that looked as if it hadnt't been 

washed in year. When he approached the king, he asked the king "king Jeffrey, 

I want you to help me", the king responded with " How can i help traveler", the

man looked around confused as if he was asked something he couldn't answer.

When the man figured it out, he took his scarf off of his neck, and he showed his scars,

these scars horrified the king, and he began trying to find way to cure this poor

mans scars, he searched and asked everyone he could, but there was no answer.

When the king told the traveler he couldn't figure out something, the traveler

smiled, he had known that the king couldn't do anything to help him. Why did 

he do it then? the king asked the traveler why he did such a thing, the traveler

replied with "king with all due respect you are only a human, a human can only do 

so much of what is asked of him he cannot change a thing just because he is rich,

that is only possible of a power far greater than me and you both." The king was

stunned with this answer, but began to think about the reason behind this and

started to figure out what he can accomplish and cannot.
