the bold young man who dared suggest they take the contest outside was unanimously declared king and so wisely did he rule , he and a hundred generations of his descendants after him , that the kingdom flourished as no other on the earth before or after , and still the voices of those two rivals still echo in the deep , even though their intended throne has long since passed into legend , for the kingdom did eventually collapse , as must all such nations under the sun , yet still did they argue over which was the more fit to be king !
