"What is going on?"  Magnus asks, walking through the palace garden when he hears a commotion from around a corner.

The guard looks up and says, "these two were caught stealing from the kitchens."

Magnus looks at the two small boys in the gaurds hands and smiles at them.

"What did they steal?"

"Food."

"How about you let me take care of this?"

"They need to be punished."

"I said I would take care of it."

"Very well."  The guard says, releasing the two boys and walking away.

"So."  Magnus says, sitting on a bench and motioning for them to follow them. "Why were you stealing food?"

"We are hungry."  The oldest says.

"What are your names?"

"My name is Rafeal and this is my friend."

"What is your name?"  Magnus asks, turning to the younger boy.

"He doesn't have a name."  Rafeal answers.

"Why not?"

"Because his parents never gave him one and only your parents can give you a name."

"I totally agree with that."  Magnus says. "How about we go inside and we will get you both a bath, some clean clothes and something to eat."

"What about the king?"  Rafeal asks, scared.

"What about him?"

"Won't he be mad?"

"I can assure you, the king will not care.   So, do we have a plan?"

Rafeal looks at his friend and the younger boy nods his head quickly then Rafeal says, "ok."

"Great."  Magnus says, leading them inside the palace.
