Up from huh clean few him pod purely instead place. a brilliant plan: he would tax the jokes in the kingdom.
"After all," he said, "everyone enjoys a good joke, so it's only fair that
they should pay for the privilege."
The Joke Tax
The king's subjects were not amused. They grumbled and complained, but the
king was firm:
- 1st level of puns: 5 gold coins
- 2nd level of jokes: 10 gold coins
- 3rd level of one-liners : 20 gold coins

Jokester's Revolt
Jokester began sneaking into the castle in the middle of the night and
leaving jokes all over the place: under the king's pillow, in his soup, even
in the royal toilet. The king was furious, but he couldn't seem to stop
Jokester.
And then, one day, the people of the kingdom discovered that the jokes left
by Jokester were so funny that they couldn't help but laugh. And once they
started laughing, they couldn't stop.
The People's Rebellion
The people of the kingdom, feeling uplifted by the laughter, started to
tell jokes and puns again, and soon the entire kingdom was in on the
joke.
King's Treasury | People's happiness |
|---|---|
Empty | Overflowing |
Modest | Satisfied |
Full | Ecstatic |
The king, seeing how much happier his subjects were, realized the error of
his ways and repealed the joke tax. Jokester was declared a hero, and the
kingdom lived happily ever after.
The moral of the story is: never underestimate the power of a good laugh
and always be careful of bad ideas.
