Th' king needed to get a treaty thru to the next kingdom so he sent his best knight. He didn't get thru. Th' king tried again with another knight. Same story. Fearing a war if the treaty wasn't signed, the king decided to take it himself; just him and his entourage. As they were riding thru the woods, suddenly a giant yellow hand appeared out of nowhere and flattened the guards in front. The mystery was solved but how to get by? Then the king's little page-boy offered to try, saying that he was small and perhaps the hand wouldn't notice him. The king was loath (good word that) to risk the boy's life but soon realized that he had little choice. So he handed the lad the treaty and he started off. But alas the hand appeared and struck at the boy. And missed! Running and dodging, the lad made it past the giant hand, got the treaty thru and war was averted. (huzzah)

Thr moral is, that you should always let your pages do the walking thru the yellow fingers.
