The king was writing a letter and told his brother, Paul: “I am writing a letter to the king of Noland. No one should know about this letter, or it will be the cause of war.

Paul: “Yes, of course. Some people are here to talk to you about the new road, will you see them?”

The king’s servant, John, walked into the King’s office to clean up the desk and saw the letter. He immediately put a cloth on the letter and walked out.

Paul saw John in the hallway and told him: “John, could you prepare my horse and come with me for a ride in the jungle?”

John said, “Yes sir.” 

The king returned to his office and went to his desk but couldn’t find the letter. He got frightened and called Paul: “Did you take the letter?”

Paul: “Absolutely not.”

The King: “Who else came to the room?”

Paul: “John, your servant.”

The King: “Oh dear. There will be a war. Call John.”

John: “No sir, I didn’t.”

Paul and the king called for the king’s adviser and told him everything. The adviser suggested searching John’s room secretly. They searched John’s room but couldn’t find the letter.

Paul said: “I am going to the jungle with him.”

The advisor said: “Wonderful. I have a plan. We will set up a robbery, and see if he has the letter with him.”

Paul took John into the jungle, where the robbery was planned.

Three men with covered faces and guns shouted: “Give us all your jewelry and money.”

John: “I am a servant; I don’t have any jewelry.”

John said: ​​“My mother lives not far from here.

I had 10 gold coins to give my mother.” and cried.

The Adviser: “10 gold coins? He didn’t have any money nor the letter.”

Paul: “So he is a liar. I promised to give him his 10 stolen gold coins!”

The Adviser: “I have a plan. We should go to his mother’s house.”

    Forse (oppure no ) conosci un grande scrittore italiano del 900 Gianni Rodari che apparentemente scriveva per i bambini ma nella realtà trasmetteva profondi insegnamenti.
    Questo è il caso del tuo racconto!

    …and the concept of war is becoming no more….people are finally ‘growing up’ and away from the “bully on the playground” mentality.
    Wonderful sharing…..thank you.

    Observado desde el angulo del rey él jamas dejaría una carta sobre su escritorio y , a su vez, la posibilidad de un sirviente robando dicha carta para nada existiría.
    Por otro lado ( por ej el relato en si ) este es demasiado obvio en su desarrollo.

    De cualquier modo en algunos tramos dicho relato podria tener una cuota de mayor sutileza y tambien intriga como para escapar un poco de los lugares comunes que tienden a considerar la ” puesta en
    escena” como algo infantil .

    Exactly like World War I, it began with a small matter. And many nations have suffered for it.
