"I'll miss you when I'm gone"
There was a prince who was chauffered from his castle to his school, day in, day out, in his personal horse-drawn carriage by his personal carriage driver. It was an open-air carriage because the prince simply did not like being confined in the slightest. One day after school, the prince walked down the red carpet to his carriage to find a patch over the carriage driver's eye. He asked what had happened and the driver said that he was doing doughnuts in the carriage lot and a bird flew and hit him right in the eye, therefore he could not judge distance, therefore he could not go up the cliff trail to the prince's castle on the mountain very close to the top, just under the king's castle.
The driver had no idea what to do, for he was just a simple carriage driver. The prince thought long and hard and decided that he himself would do what was right by coming of age and driving the carriage. Now the prince had driven an automatic carriage once, but that was only for a short distance and this carriage was a stick-shift carriage and the boy was more afraid of that than switching places with a pauper. Nonetheless, our young hero decided to face up to his fears and drive up the steep and long drive to the castle. During the drive, the prince progressively lost his fear and started to go above the posted horse-power limit and the driver in the back seat advised that he should watch the speed. The prince obviously had diplomatic immunity from any and all laws and could have had the driver beheaded just for saying such an atrocity to a prince. Instead, the prince said, "Be quiet, you blind old man." To this, the driver, a little drunken because of his painkillers, responded, "In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is king." The prince laughed and decided that the driver was more than crazy, he was senile. One should note that, due to lack of funding for asylums, all psychotics are executed. It's euthanasia, not cruelty.
