[Girl]
I don’t know

[Narrator]
Well, he worked and he worked and he worked so hard to be a king and never let go of it his mind. All the time kept thinking “I wanna be a king, I wanna be a king, I wanna be a king”, but he’s still a baby because really only babies want to be king, because...

[Boy]
He wasn’t a king?

No, not yet, he wasn’t a king yet, but he wanted to be a king ‘cause kings are good and kings are strong and kings are the best in everything

So a stranger came up to the baby and the stranger said “Follow me, and I’ll make you a king”. And he did, and the baby became a king, and for one real big shiny moment he was happy
