The Foolish King Of Tsunami
by Richard and Brian

The Foolish King owned a beautiful kingdom on the shore of a great sea called Tsunami.He owned mountains, rivers, lakes, grasslands and the vast sea before him.The Foolish King owned all that could be seen around him even to the mountains that grew on the island. Yet he was not pleased. For he wanted to own an island out on his sea as well.
His subjects were happy and content with the Kind and relaxed attitude. He did not levy high taxes or force ridiculous laws onto his subjects. All were allowed to work and enjoy their free time as they pleased. As long as their activities were peaceful and did not harm other people, the people were free to do as they wish. Respect for their king was also something that was not made law, however the Kings subjects showed him great respect for his kind and fair demeanor towards them. For food, the Kings subjects would grow crops in the fields around the town and fish in the sea nearby. There was always plenty of food for all.

food and time to actually build the Island.
Work started at the smallest of the King's three mountains that encircled his Kingdom. It was carried rock by rock, piece by piece to the shore. Loaded onto barges and then dropped into the sea. In His tower, the King would look out of his window and watch as the small mountain was broken down, moved to the shore and dumped into the sea. After ten years of much hard work by many laborers, the the small island was completed. As the King then decided to make a celebration upon the completion of the Island, a small storm with light winds came upon the Kingdom and slowly washed the small Island away.
The Foolish King again gathered all the engineers in his kingdom and asked them to plan to build a bigger Island, one that no storm could easily wash away. For two weeks they worked on ideas to have a bigger Island built. They decided to take material from the second largest mountain this time. to make a bigger Island that such a small
