The Benson Brothers' (Late) Present

The Benson Brothers' (Late) Present

The day after the King's birthday, the King was laying in bed terribly hungover. 'I knew it was a good idea to delay the presents,' he thought to himself. Last night, after Jester answered his riddle, he presented his own. Then, he made the king drink all the wine he used for that riddle. After the first cup, the wise king became unwise and drank the rest of the cups. As he was remembering last night, he heard a knock on the door.

'At least it's not Jester.' He thought happily. "Come in!" He said. The door opened and the Benson Brothers stepped in. "Mark, Luke, John. What brings you here?" He asked.

"We have a present your majesty." They said in unison.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

"But it was too big for us to carry." Said Mark.

"And dad was busy." Chimed Luke.

"So we had to wait until this morning." Finished John.

"This is it!" They said as they stepped aside and let a fountain float through the door.

"Kids...."The King sighed. "My bedroom is not the proper place to place a fountain..."

After Kight had properly installed the fountain in the garden, the King stepped out ot admire it. "It is fitting that they put the word 'red' here isn't it. Are they making fun of my low tolerance? Cheeky brats." The king mused and chuckled.

"Actually," said Kight as he cleaned himself up. "The children said that there is another message on this fountain. It's another riddle for you."

"Of course there is!" The king laughed.
