One day, my country had a big king, you can't believe this.  He had long hair which touched the ground, a long beard and a large mustache, from two feet to three feet.  He also had big black teeth.  He could eat rocks with them.  He wore a special tall t-shirt and no knife in his waist, if you joked with him, he stabbed you directly with the knife.
   The king was a crook.  He stole all the people's money.  When you saw him the first time, he scared you.  It was better if you didn't see him.
