Prince Phillip and The Rat King - 002 (Test)

There was a stream blocking his path, but there luckily was a bridge. However it was guarded by a troll which asked for a toll. He had an ancient question for those who wished to pass the bridge. How many Trolls does it take to guard the bridge he asked. The Rat King replied with none, because you presence is enough so no guarding is needed. The Troll laughed and fell into the river which allowed The Rat King to continue on his journey. He walked a long way along the road and then he saw a carriage approaching, a two dog carriage. The Rat King said to the rider, hey mister, can we possibly trade. To which the rider replied, halt, there's business to be had. The rider who identified himself as Trader Jack of all Trades, which The Rat King kind of found long winded for a mere merchant. The merchant asked me for my name, to which he replied, sorry, for now my name shall be unspoken. The Rat King asked if he could exchange 3 Moneys for 3 Apples to which the trader agreed. Which was a good thing because he hadn't eating since he snuck out. He ate two apples while walking along the path and saved one. His belly was full again and he was again full of energy, it was time to run a bit. The Rat King started running and before he knew it he was approaching a little village. He entered the village, obviously these house were built ages ago and taken care of poorly. This cannot be a prospering village, as he was thinking this an old lady approached him. Sir, she said, Sir, what are you doing here? To which The Rat King replied, thank you miss for calling me sir even though I'm a Giant Rat. Say, dear old lady, is this whole country poor? The old lady sat down and started explaining that the local recources are depleted but that the center of the kingdom is still very very wealthy. And supposedly the prince will soon become king...
