Story time

As the old man tucked in his grandson ,the grandson smiled and asked "pops can you tell me a story?" ......the old man in question paused slightly then sighed and said "alright "
Now as the boy readied in anticipation
The old man sat comfortably and began

"Well.......Once upon a time, there was a very simple man ,who lived in a tiny house with a tiny garden

And he fell in love with a very simple woman, they took joy in the simple things in life

A walk
A cup of tea
A smile

And those simple things, made them feel like they were not so simple at all

Quite the opposite infact , it made them feel like they were the most special people in the world

And one day they got married , and this very simple man
Suddenly became a king

Because he had found his queen and the tiny house was their palace and the tiny garden their kingdom and they lived happily for years and years "

Then the old man smiled sadly and continued

"Until the queen got very sick and then......in a breath, was gone.
And the man went from being a king to being a very simple man once again.

But sometimes..........late at night when it's very quiet, she comes to him and just for a moment.......he is a king"

He finished as a small tear slipped down and he looked at the boy seemingly in a peaceful sleep...::he covered him well and walked away.
