\nFfewddur Ffam ruled a kingdom so small he could almoststride across it between midday and high noon.The fields andpastures grew so near his castle that sheep and cows ambledup to gaze into his bed-chamber;and the cottagers'childrenplayed in his Great Hall,knowing he would sooner join theirgames than order them away.  \n\"My crown's a grievous burden!”Fflewddur cried.'That is,it would be if I ever wore it.But a Fflam is dutiful!My subjectsneed me to rule this vast kingdom with a firm hand and awatchful eye!”  \nNevertheless,one secret wish lay closest to his heart.Heyearned to adventure as a wandering bard.  \n“A Fflam is eager!\"he declared.\"I'll be as great a bard asI am a king!”  \nSo he puzzled over tomes of ancient lore,striving to gainthe wisdom every true bard must have.And he strained andstruggled with his harp until his fingers blistered.  \n\"A Fflam is clever!\"he exclaimed.\"I'll soon have the knackof it,and play my harp as well as I rule my kingdom!”  \nAt last he fancied himself ready to stand before the HighCouncil of Bards and ask to be ranked among their number.  \n“A Fflam goes forth!\"cried Fflewddur.“Gird on my sword!Saddle my charger!But have a care,she's wild and mettle-some.\"  \nAll his subjects who could spare the time gathered to cheerhim on,to wave farewell,and to wish him good speed.  \n\"It saddens them to see me go,”Ffewddur sighed.\"But aFflam is faithful!Even as a famous bard,I'll do my kinglyduty as carefully as ever.\"","cbCaiqP3Np3h2SYo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqP3Np3h2SYo","pdf",2747923,38,"English","# King
