THE KING, THE SWORD AND THE WASP

Master of his castle, king of a mighty kingdom, master of all and in charge of all, King Jim, adored by all and most of all by his beautiful wife Queen Hina, was touring one of his domain, mainly The Garage, with a small entourage.

On a clear and crisp day, King Jim and an expert in “AC”, were both inspecting the:

THIS AND THAT,

WHAT IF AND WHAT THAT,

MAY BE THIS AND

MAY BE THAT,

When to Queen Hina’s horror, a wayward soldier in the form of a mighty insect, namely, Master Wasp, wandered by accident in the said Garage.

This was no little promenade, smelling the roses kind of a flight, but our Master Wasp, may be having had too much sun already that day, was just swaying from the ceiling, touching here and there, looking busy and yet taking it’s sweet time deciding what he was going to do next.

Having experienced already of the ingenuity of Master Wasp, this crafty insect could have build a city in the blink of an eye and King Jim would have been no longer Master of all and become Master of none.

Like a lot of great and mighty men, a little and seemingly insignificant insect like Master Wasp, did not attract to the least the eye of our Great Chief.  So it was up to our dainty Queen Hina to jump in and save the day.

Being not a warrior herself, it would have been unheard of to have a Queen grab a sword and start swinging left and right.  So our demur Queen only had one thing left to do and got our King and Mighty Chief Jim to grab the sword himself and save the day.

Mister Entourage himself, trying to get in on some of the action, started poking the ceiling in the hope of getting Master Wasp.  But our waspy warrior was just too smart and too fast.

In a sudden and quick move, our dainty Queen dashed across the dangerous grounds, darting around a spellbound King, moving her feet in the speed of lightning, Queen Hina grabbed the sword resting on the wall, and before King Jim could even blink an eyelash, deposited in his strong hands the SWORD OF LIGHTNING, in other words, the mosquito zapper.

The zapper had come from across the great waters, and had already accomplished some great and marvelous exploits, killing legions of mosquitoes, saving countless of people from untold dangers.  And before King Jim could utter a single sound, Queen Hina, who is after all a woman first, closed the garage door with the flick of a finger, and with a last twirl of her pretty feet, closed with a definitive click the kitchen door, last exit to safety.

She did not leave her man and master alone, for through the glass she gave her King utmost and outright loud encouragements.

“GO, GO, KILL IT, KILL IT”.

“OPEN THE DOOR, OPEN THE DOOR” he shouted, for for only a moment he forgot he was a King.  And with renewed encouragements, shouted she to her King:

“GO, GO, KILL IT, KILL IT”.

“OPEN THE DOOR, OPEN THE DOOR” he shouted again.  And as nothing changed, King Jim finally took the bullet by the horn or is it by the teeth?  And with all the courage he could muster, threw himself to the task at hand.

Of course the SWORD OF LIGHTNING could only do its magic on mosquitoes, so repeatedly as often as King Jim could swap Master Wasp with it, we could hear through out the kingdom,

“ZAP, ZAP”

And though it was stunted many times, Master Wasp with renewed efforts, flew and flew again, when finally after much time and shouting, and a last

“ZAP”

Master Wasp fluttered slowly to the ground, not by any means dead, but deserving some good rest.  Our Mighty Chief seeing the end at this opportune time, with a last victorious cry, stomped without regret on our warrior insect.

Without waiting for another moment, Queen Hina opened the kitchen door, opened the garage door, and without a word, took the SWORD OF LIGHTNING from the numb hands of King Jim, and returned it to its place on the wall, to await another time, another adventure.

It is without saying that King Jim being a little mad about it, did not talk to his Queen for a short while.  But after all, the kingdom being free of threats once again, King Jim had no choice but to forgive his Queen and enjoy the peace in the land.
