The Story of Roy
Once upon a time there was a very cool triangle named Roy. This triangle was green with red dots on his head and he was 37 years young. He lived in the Land of the Circles, which was somewhat odd, because he is after all a triangle. The Circles thought he was a bit of a strange circle, but then again most of them also thought that in some way that was cool (after all Roy is a cool triangle) and for that very reason he was chozen as the very first triangle-shaped king of the Land of the Circles.
The leaders of the neighbouring countries (Lawn and Plasticthrowawaycoffeecuptreerootjuice, which were both on the east side of the Land of the Circle because everything else on the cubic shaped planet was ocean) heard of this great news about Roy and therefore came to visit him, to have a nice cup of red paint together and talk about the relationships between their countries.
The king of Lawn was a rather fat little man, about the height of a banana, did not at all notice that Roy was actually a triangle. That is because the good man is blind for shapes: no matter what shape an object (or person) has, to him everything is simply square. Because he didn’t notice Roy was a three-angled triangle he gave him a compliment for his four perfect angles. Of course Roy wasnt’ too happy about that, because he, being a triangle, posessed only three angles (however he did sometimes wish he could find a fourth because his mother always said that would look good on his green tie). Anyway, Roy wasn’t very happy about it, but since he knew the poor man is shape-blind he didn’t take any offence.
The count of Plasticthrowawaycoffeecuptreerootjuice however, didn’t take it very lightly. He found that Roy, in all his green-with-red-dotsness really didn’t have more than 3 angles and since he didn’t like the king of Lawn anyway he declared war on Lawn. He explained that Lawn had been doing secret weapon tests in an area very close with their border, that they were doing it was fine with him but he always said ‘Lawn, not in my back yard’.
To get the war over with as soon as he could, the count of Plasticthrowawaycoffeecuptreerootjuice imediatly took out his digital watch with InstaKill function. With a little click he opened the watch, aimed it at the king of Lawn, and corrected the time because the watch was five minutes off. The king of Lawn instantly died and he fell down on the ground, walked in a circle a few times, and stood back up to lie down in his coffin (which really was a small box because an entire coffin would be a waste of perfectly good wood since he was only as large as a banana).
After doing that the count of Plasticthrowawaycoffeecuptreerootjuice apologized for the mess and left for home. He claimed that he still had to tell a story to his children, otherwise they would refuse to go to sleep.
Of course it remained to be a strange fact that the king of the Land of the Circles was a triangle. After a while the press noticed, and Roy was forced to step down as king. A new king was elected, however because the new king was a perfect circle he kept rolling off the throne, and so he was forced to step down as well.
And they lived more or less happily everafter, and they often chose new kings…
