Aa Oozhoh
Once, in a kingdom of great wealth, in a tower high above the city streets, there sat a fat old king. He was weary of his dreary perch, so he gave his little bell a ring. In stumbled a quite disgruntled servant who mumbled, "Yes, sire?"
He was carrying a tray of crumpets and tea. "What can I do for you?" asked he.
"Dear Whimbleby, I'd like to pass a law," said the sleepy king.
"Whatever for, your majesty?"
"This place is boring! Couldn't you hear me snoring?"
"Why yes of course, sire, but you're so easy to tire. You require more sleep!"
"Yes, I must count the sheep." And presently, he wobbled over to his bed, lied down, and fell asleep with all of his clothes and shoes on. After a few seconds, he sat up and said, "What a nice sleep!" He rose out of bed and asked his servant, "So, was I snoring?" Whimbleby replied, "Why sire, you didn't make a peep!" "Impossible, you must be deaf. What have we here?" He said as he spied the food.
"So, this is what you were trying to hide!" said the king forcibly.
"Why sire, I don't know what you mean," said Whimbleby.
"No matter. Sit down." said the king, now serene. Whimbleby sat down at the king's desk. Parchments, pens and ink were strewn startlingly messily all over!
"Write this, my boy," said the king.
"Why, I have no direct relation to you, or I'd be royalty!" replied Whimbleby. The king continued without taking heed.
"As of this Thursday, all double vowels will be changed to a single "Y", and all double consonants will be changed to a single "T". There. That should make things a little more interesting around here! Saddle up, Whimbleby, we're going for a ride!"
The word spread far and wide! This law was extremely difficult to abide.
