[hometext] => Its not what we have; its how we use it.
[bodytext] => Their father left behind his best, six pounds of sugar more or less. His 3 sons split it up and yes, set out to find their lifes success. The oldest took his to a pub, and traded it for drinks. It soon was gone; and didnt last as long as most would think. The second born took his to sea, but returned with empty arms. His sugar, left out on the deck, had melted in a storm. The third son made a beeline, where hed heard a wealthy king had a sickly daughter who refused to eat a thing. The posters in the 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 failed to win her. From his sack he sprinkled his sugar on her dinner! She cleaned the plate and ate and ate. 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. Find yourself the father of a royal ingenue Who craves a sugar daddy, and that just might be you! Beware of substitutions (One knight tried using salt). He lacks a head, and its been said the wedding was called off.
