Once there was a king who had magical powers – so he decided to invite everyone to a feast – well, unbeknown to the populace, who were unaware of his power, hence could snap his finger and a feast would appear, so they decided, once they hear it is ready, they will happily come! – but the kings minsters, who lived in proximity and intimately knew the king, knew of his magic – so, as soon as he invited everyone, they got ready!
