Once Upon A Time...

Once upon a time, deep in the rolling hills of south western Connecticut there lived a mighty King. Dashing and handsome he was and all the folk of the land adored him so, for he ruled with a kind hand and they flourished under his reign. They affectionately referred to him as Lord Cranberry, King of Norwalk, and they frequently gathered upon his sprawling estate, called Cranberry Park, at his invitation to frolic in the sun and share in the bounty of the land. On a recent fine pre-summer day, the King himself emerged from his large, yet cozy home situated squarely in the middle of Cranberry Park and mingled with the common folk, even deigning to play a round on his private disc golf course with a select few lucky minions. The King was actually just out for a tour of the north and west fields, to review the barley and medicinal herb crops which would soon be ready for harvest. He figured, however, that his stroll would hardly be interrupted by a few drives and putts and so his Highness and the lucky townsfolk made their way round the course on the way to his harvest inspection. Even though he is a kind and gentle monarch, the common folk were in obvious awe of his royal stature and seemed nervous and distracted out on the course. The King paid no heed. He simply, as the French would say, laid "Le Smack Down" upon the lucky plebians, allowing them to fight over the scraps of second place. Shankar, the town crier known to have literary pretensions, was one of the selected participants and he emerged as the most hungry for the remnants from the King's table. Mills, a local artisan, was simply too dumbfounded by his good fortune of sharing a round with the revered king to actually be competitive. When all was said and done the lucky participants retired back to the village and regaled the rapt towns folk with tales of the amazing drives, dead on putting and consummate sportsmanship displayed by their King - and all were again content that they should be so fortunate as to be blessed with such a wonderful and skilled ruler. The End.
