"That is Why"

Two peasants were traveling down a winding road on their way to see the king. When they approached the gates of the kingdom, an army of foot soldiers bullied them and ran them off.

Then one peasant said to the other, "That is why."

The next day, the peasants traveled down the winding road again with hopes to see the King. This time an army of horse soldiers rode up, threw stones at them and ran them off.

Then the peasant said to his friend, "That is why." The two peasants would not give up, so they traveled the winding road again. This time the king's carriage pulled up, and when the king saw the two peasants standing there in torn clothes, with cuts and bruises all over them, the King got out of his carriage, walked up to the two peasants, put his arm around them, and gave them each a gold coin.

As they walked back down the winding road, one peasant said to the other again, "That is why."

When they were both back home sitting in their little huts, the other peasant asked his friend what he meant when he said "That is why?"

The first peasant responded,

That is why they are foot soldiers, and that is all they will ever be.

That is why they are horse soldiers, and that is all they will ever be.

And That is why he is king.
