Along time ago there lived a great king named Russel. All the people in his kingdom loved him. The only enemies that Russel had where the kings and queens of other kingdoms. They hated him because his people loved him and theres didn't love them.
One day King Nicholas sent a message to Russel. It said "Dear King Russel. If you tell us how you get your people to love you so much we will not declare war on you". After reading this Russel sent a message back that said "Dear King Nicholas the reason my people love me is because I know what it is that they need and want and I know how to give it to them. I know all this because I was once one of them and I had to survive. So that is why my people love me". Once King Nicholas read this he thought it was a joke. So he assembled his finest men and had then ready to head to Russel's Kingdom. Russel being the great king that he was had already knew that he would think it was a joke so he amassed a fair sized army to defend the castle.
Once King Nicholas' army made it to Russel's kingdom they where ambushed and so they had to retreat. After returning to tell king Nicholas how the battle when he talked with all the other rulers and they amassed all there troops. They soon marched towards Russel's Kingdom where they where sure to win the battle. Again Russel figured this was going to happen and so he talked with all the towns folk and got then to build a nice shelter under there houses. Once the large army made it to kingdom they began to attack. Shortly after breaking in they started to raid the kingdom in search of anyone they could get to use as hostages to get the reason why he was loved by his people but none could be found. So Russel decided that he would confront the army all by himself. The leaders saw him and they told him if he didn't tell them the real reason why he was loved then they would kill him. So he said "The reason why my people love me is because I am a forgiving king. He grew up as one of the peasants of this kingdom and so they feel that I can relate to them and they trust me. If you spent less time fighting amongst yourselves and more time talking amongst your people you will learn what it is that they need and want. Once you learn that give it to them then they will trust you and love you". The other rulers talked amongst themselves and decided what he was saying was the truth and so they ordered there troops back to there kingdoms.
Many years later King Russel died and a queen took his place. Sadly as she became the queen she thought she was better then her subjects and they disliked her but as she was hated more by her people the other rulers enjoyed her company more and more. So when an attack came upon the kingdom the people where willing to give up the queen and so she was killed very shortly into the raid.
After her came another queen who was just as bad as the first queen was. So the villages went in and attacked the queen themselves and destroyed the castle and started a government where the people pick a leader every so often. They figured that picking there leader frequently meant that the leader would be afraid to get power hungry.When the other rulers laughed at the idea saying it would never last. Today we are run by a democracy which is the idea that every so often we pick who our leader is going to be.
If this has any spelling or grammar errors please let tell me what they are so I can fix them. Also if you have any ideas for other stories I would like to know so I can try them and see how they turn out.
