Week 5 Story: The Burger, The Fry, and the Milkshake
The great King McDonald ruled over all of the western hemisphere
of the area of land named the Chain. In this great kingdom, there were other
three other kings, King Freddy, who ruled the northern hemisphere, King Wendy,
who ruled the eastern hemisphere, and finally King Whatta, who ruled the
southern hemisphere. Once a year, all the kings would get together and talk
about economics, war, and politics. One day, King McDonald told the other kings
that his three most valuable possessions had disappeared, his Burger Sapphire,
his Fry Ruby, and his beloved Milkshake Gauntlet. These were three of the most
valuable items in all of the Chain. The other kings were not surprised that
they had gone missing, as King McDonald was known for being out late partying
and drinking with the clowns of his kingdom. Each of the kings offered their
condolences and went back to their homelands.
When King McDonald returned
home, a local hobbit came forward and told the king that he had seen the gems
being taken a few weeks prior and told him that he knew it had to have been the
plan of one of the other kings. The king erupted with outrage and sent his best
warriors to the other hemispheres to search for the gems and wage war with the
other kings. On the day of their return, the warriors came forward to the king,
but only 3/4th of them remained. The king asked where the others were, and the
warriors told him that the group that went to the lands ruled by King Wendy had
been taken prisoner. The King sent a full group out again, and once again, only
a 3/4ths of them returned. This time, the warriors from the northern hemisphere
where King Freddy ruled were captured. He again erupted with rage and tried one
last time. Once again, only 3/4ths returned, and this time King Whatta captured
his warriors.
Finally, the King called all
the kings forward to his home and hosted a dinner for them. Each of the Kings
had a different story about how they captured his warriors. King McDonald made
sure to have his hobbit nearby listening in. King Wendy told him that when the
warriors came to search for the gems, he had his magicians cast a spell on them
that knocked them out. King Freddy said that he had used his dragon to intimidate
the group and they easily arrested them. King Whatta told the group that he had
used his many paid police officers to capture the group.

When the dinner ended
and the kings returned to their homelands, King McDonald asked his hobbit if he
knew who the thieves were sent by and the hobbit said he did. He told the king
that the king who possessed his precious gems was the king that used the
dragon. He said that the king who used the magician had to have paid a lot of
money for the service of the magicians, and for the creation of the spell. He
then said that the king who used his police officers was paying a lot of money
to keep them on retention, so that narrowed it down to the king that used the
dragon. Now a dragon was not expensive to own, however fighting dragons were
very rare, and most of the other dragons in the kingdom were gluttonous beasts
that had no intention of harming anyone. However, the fact that this king was
desperate enough to find an intimidating dragon and use it to make the warriors
surrender meant that he was struggling financially and was the most likely
culprit for the crime. King McDonald then sent out an entire army to the
northern lands and raided King Freddy's castle and they were able to recover
the valuables, and even slay the dragon. The two other kings came to King
McDonald and told him that they were wanting to form an alliance against King
Freddy and the northern kingdom, and so they did. King Freddy died some years
later from starvation, and the northern kingdom was eventually brought to
ruins.
The End
Author Note:
As I was reading the story of
the 22 Goblins, I loved how each different story had a riddle and a solution.
It was very fun reading about the different adventures and situations that the
many different characters went through, and hearing about how each story had a logical
solution when you really thought hard about it. This story is similar in that
style, meaning that there is a logical solution that is revealed in the end.
The story has to do with four kings, three expensive valuables that were stolen,
and how the crime was solved and resolved. Hope you enjoy!
Hi Randy!
ReplyDeleteI liked that you used the fast food restaurants as the major theme in this. It isn't something I would have thought to do and it added some humor and a modern twist to the story. I was a little confused about how many warriors King McDonald sent out each time. Did he send 1 to each hemisphere? Or did he send groups to all three hemispheres? It doesn't seem like a big part of the story in regards to how many warriors, but I think if it was clarified some it would add some more substance to the story. If he sent groups to each hemisphere and different groups got captured each time, I wonder why the groups that returned the second and third time didn't get captured again by the king's who had previously captured some of the warriors? I think it is interesting how the hobbit figured out which king stole the gems by observing how they each captured the warriors.
I enjoyed reading your story, good job!
Hey Randy! At first when I was reading this story I was like "Does he mean..", "There's no way.." and "Ok this is great!" I really liked the twist you put on the story and I was cracking up at the part where it talked about his possessions! I would have to save King Whatta is my favorite! Good job retelling this story and I cant wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteHey Randy!
ReplyDeleteI also really liked the story of the Twenty-Two Goblins. I think it's hilarious you used fast food kings and a hobbit. Also, I see what you did there with the picture caption, too funny. I think this is a very creative and fun way to interpret the original story. It almost seems as though you could've gone bigger with this because of how grand the idea is and go into more detail. The story starts strong and seems a bit rushed at the finish. I would read a sequel!
