[hometext] => A tale of 3 sons who inherited a sack of sugar each...
[bodytext] => Their father left them all he had, five pounds of sugar more or less. His three sons took a sack a piece; and left to find their lifes success. The oldlest took his to a pub; and traded it for drinks. It soon was gone; and didn’t last as long as most would think. The second born took his to sea; but soon came home again; His sugar, left out on the deck; had melted in the rain. The third son left for foreign lands; where hed heard the reigning king; Had a sickly daughter who refused to eat a thing. The posters in this little town proclaimed to grant a wish, To anyone who could prepare such a royal dish, That once his daughter tasted it; she just could not resist. He stood in line for hours; while others tried to win her; Then from his sack he sprinkled some sugar on her dinner! She cleaned the plate and asked for more; the brothers fate was sealed. The king gave him a castle; and knighthood as he kneeled. The moral of the story, I leave dear ones to you. Not rain nor drinks can beat, me thinks a royal ingenue Who will not eat, what is not sweet; to trust your future to!
