(24-25)
I am King Adam, a really great king.
So many people and soldiers admire me.
They love me, cheer for me, and follow my words.
Also I treat them well and kindly.
"Adam, your milk and toast are ready.
Come down to eat. Hurry!"
Next to my country lives King Evil,
And he is mean and bad to his people.
Many of them come here for my help,
So King Evil hates me, not surprisingly.
"Adam, what are you doing?
The school bus is coming in ten minutes!
Hurry to come down, or you're going to be late again."
Then one day, King Evil attacks my country.
I lead my soldiers on the horse, so serious and brave,
And his soldiers run away when they see my face.
Great King Adam saves his people again.
Ouch! My ear! What happened?
"Adam, your bus left, and you are late again!"
Oh, no, not again! Ms. Butlof is going to kill me.
Poor me. A great king is in fact a weak little boy.
