without whose absence in this country
this book would not have been possible
there lived a King
and his wife, the Queen.
They were a happy couple
for they had everything in the World.
However
when the Queens birthday came near
the King had a problem: What could he give to Someone
who had Everything? 
The King thought
and he thought and he thought.
Until suddenly, he had an idea! 
HE WOULD GIVE THE QUEEN A BED. 
The Queen did not have a bed
because at the time
beds had not been invented. So even Someone who had Everything
did not have a bed. The King called his Prime Minister
and asked him to please have a bed made. 
The Prime Minister called the Chief Carpenter
and asked him to please have a bed made. 
The Chief Carpenter called the apprentice
and told him to make a bed.
How big is a bed? asked the apprentice,
who didnt know because at the time
nobody had ever seen a bed. 
How big is a bed?
the Carpenter asked the Prime Minister. 
A good question, said the Prime Minister. 
And he asked the King,
HOW BIG IS A BED? The King thought and
he thought and he thought.
Until suddenly he had an idea! 
THE BED
MUST BE BIG ENOUGH TO FIT THE QUEEN. 
The King called the Queen.
He told her to put on her new pajamas
and told her to lie on the floor. The King took off his shoes
and with his big feet
walked carefully around the Queen.
He counted that
the bed must be
THREE FEET WIDE AND SIX FEET LONG
to be big enough to fit the Queen. (Including the crown
which the Queen sometimes liked to wear to sleep.) 
The King said Thank you, to the Queen,
and told the Prime Minister,
who told the Chief Carpenter,
who told the apprentice: 
The bed must be
three feet wide and six feet long
to be big enough to fit the Queen. (Including the crown
which she sometimes liked to wear to sleep.) The apprentice said Thank you,
and took off his shoes,
and with his little feet he measured
and made a bed to fit the Queen. 
When the King saw the bed,
he thought it was beautiful.
He could not wait for the Queens Birthday. 
Instead, he called the Queen at once
and told her to put on her new pajamas. Then he brought out the bed
and told the Queen to try it.
BUT
the bed was much too small for the Queen. 
The King was so angry that he immediately
called the Prime Minister
who called the Chief Carpenter
who called the jailer
who threw the apprentice into jail. 
The apprentice was unhappy. WHY WAS THE BED
TOO SMALL FOR THE QUEEN?
