Thud. A person fell over after he saw the king. That king was Waffle King. He didn't fall because he saw the king, though. He tripped on the rug. Or did he?

Waffle King sat on the throne with a brilliant smile on his face. And there were brilliant sunbeams to match shining through the windows on either side of his seat. Waffle King was a cheery person all the time. He liked to do unofficial news reporting about games that jesters produced, but no one told him that his reportings were never published. He was also uninterested in the poets who came before him to recite their bad poetry.

One day, a shadowy figure entered the palace unexpectedly, wearing a cloak. Waffle King didn't invite said person in, and thus interrogated the infiltrator from the throne seat.

The man under the cloak claimed to be a poet known throughout the land. Waffle King, because of his great kindness, allowed the mysterious man to recite a poem.

Little did Waffle King know that this intruder hiding in disguise was the anti-anti-anti-Waffle King, Baffle King! The triple anti- comes from the fact that one was not allowed to be directly opposed to Waffle King in his kingdom. Baffle King therefore indirectly opposes Waffle King by means of a string of prefixes.

This Baffle King, known for his devious, puzzling ways, had come from afar to uncover information and learn the castle layout in order to overthrow the great and awesome Waffle King. But the great and awesome Waffle King, with his astute intelligence, leaped out of his chair as Baffle King began reciting, and claimed that this was an imposter poet! "How could he have known!?" said Baffle King to himself. And it seemed to be because Waffle King's handsomeness didn't make Baffle King flinch, which apparently meant Baffle King was not a Waffle King fanatic.

So Baffle King made a daring dash for the door, with Waffle King in pursuit. They passed by Lady Asparagus, who was the dietician for Waffle King.

Waffle King, all the while he was chasing his rival, was still smiling beautifully.

Baffle King ran down a corridor with many doors in it. He chose one of them and took off. Just about then, Waffle King turned into the corridor and didn't see Baffle King. How will he know which door Baffle King chose?

This, in fact, wasn't a problem at all, because Waffle King knew that all the doors led to the same place: an empty room.

Baffle King, still only seconds ahead, rushed down a hall, while Waffle King decided to walk in a distinguished manner. This gave the shadowy enemy a chance to prepare a trap!

Waffle King was thoroughly enjoying this adventure, and he reached the end of the hall, only to see the large, empty room with light coming in from the doors.

Baffle King was watching from a fairly short distance, and then came down a cage from the ceiling! Baffle King must have been fast in order to prepare that so quickly!

Waffle King was inside the cage. Oh no!

Actually that wasn't an issue. Waffle King simply grinned, and the cage fell apart.

The chase continued out of the dungeon and back to the throne room, where they again passed by Asparagus.

Then Asparagus cried, "Waffle King! Do you wish for pizza for lunch?"

And Waffle King confirmed that it was true -- He would like pizza.

Then Waffle King grabbed his rival's cloak and pulled it off. Baffle King turned out to, in fact, be an actual bad poet dressed in quite fine clothing. He did not want Waffle King to find out, and he proceeded to flee.

Thus ends a tale of Waffle King.
