The shoemaker and his son

             There was once upon a time a successful shoemaker living in a small village. He earned his living through making the best of the shoes to the people of the village. He got the leather from sheep slaughters. He started from scratch and there had been no one to help him. His sole son was less successful student. He then dropped out of school to work with his father.

            A local war was about to be ignited. People of the village would need some boots. One evening, he was driven to the castle to meet the king. The latter asked the shoemaker to prepare about one hundred shoes overnight. It was a hard task to fulfill in a short period. However, the old shoemaker had no choice but to accept with a few conditions. He asked about the leather and some servants to help him. Certainly, the king provided h with what he wanted. Two days later, the neighboring city's warriors were on the town's verge. A call upon men's village to help the numerous soldiers was the clear solution.

               The shoemaker hadn't finished all the shoes but had reached about 75 shoes. It was a great job. The king and his ministers were satisfied with the number of the shoes as they already had some on the castle. The trained soldiers guided by the chefs to the borders. They were followed with hesitating and panic citizens with different of the weapons. They suffered the long road to the border. But their horses and camels were as tough as their will. As they reached the verge at the dust, the chef provided them with the plan A. They had to scatter along the border in groups of fives. The plan b was that if they faced any danger, they had to whistle three times consecutively with a view to warn their friends and retreat back to the starting point. The soldiers gathered together and had some meal then they pray for victory. They scattered as the Chef ordered them. They found the enemy having fun and big fiesta. The soldiers sneaked and started to kill them one by one. They succeeded to expel the enemy out Of The borders.

              Back to the village the great warriors had a special party owing to their victory. Indulging in the luxury and food and entertained by the comedian of the village, two strangers managed to hijack the princess.

          Panic-stricken the son of the shoemaker screamed “They have stolen my bride to be”. The guards gathered to look for the princess. The king asked Pablo, the groom to be to look for his bride to be. He said: I promised you to marry you my only precious girl I have. But you have to prove that you deserve it as a man.” The king went on:” Take anything you want with you. Some guards will escort you to provide any necessary help”. Pablo decided to go in a tough adventure in his life. It is a matter of being or not. He decided to try to sit a trap for his envious friends.

        He asked about all his friends. They are all in the village except Larry. The latter has left earlier to an abandoned house mile away from the village. The reason being why Pablo went directly to that house was that Larry had no special thing to do there.

        On his arrival there, Pablo heard loud sharp screaming. It was the brave princess who was fighting defensively her kidnapper. Larry sneaked to the house, but there was a fierce dog near the fence. He asked the guards to get the dog busy with a view to sneak safely to the house. The guards killed the dog.  

         As Pablo break into the house, he came across Larry. The two rivals had a tough battle. Finally, Larry, escaped wounded. Pablo saved his princess and met the king halfway.
