             ~!Inside the castle you hear singing and laughter. Walking
             along a corridor you come to the king's ball room. In the
             middle the king is listening to the jester as he explains
             that he is going to make an elephant appear out of nowhere.
             He does and there is applause all around for such a
             wonderful trick. Then he makes the elephant disappear again
             as space is needed for the ball.

             You look around and see many familiar faces.

             An old man in a new hat has his arm around an old lady who
             has on a formal gown. They smile as they recognize you.

             A farmer and a hermit are talking about their new items they
             got recently, while a shepherd and a dog keeper talk dog
             stories. Over in a corner the tax collector is trying to
             steal a kiss from the chamber maid. A wood cutter is linked
             arm in arm with a lady of the court.

             ~!The king tells the crowd he is glad the draw bridge over the
             moat got fixed in time so everyone could get to the ball.
             The carpenter takes a bow.

             The king spots you. Look everyone  ~!is here. We
             have been waiting for you. Everyone to the dining room.

             In the dining hall you are served a piece of ground meat by
             the cook. He tells you the butcher used his new meat grinder
             on it. A wine tester pours you a little glass in a new wine
             glass.

             Huge platters of fish are placed on the table and the king
             is surprised at their number. The fisherman winks at you.

             The bee keeper, next to the husbandman, passes you some
             honey. "There's no better honey in the land," the king
             laughs.

             Looking at a new clock, the time keeper says, "The ball is
             coming off right on time, your majesty." "Ah, yes," says the
             ~!king.

             The horse tamer sitting next to you thanks you again for the
             bridle you brought. "It makes taming a lot easier," he says.

             After the meal the social secretary invites everyone into a
             large room where there is a color television and a video
             cassette player.

             "We will now look at the video tape "The King and I," she
             says. The king takes his place in the seat of honor and the
             pipe maker puts a new pipe in the king's mouth. "Enjoy
             yourself, your majesty," he says.

             After the movie the king announces that there is some
             unfinished business.

             The king stands. "  ~!I understand you have found the
             Golden Sword with the help of all these people here. I'm
             proud to say the land is quite. All the monsters in the land
             have been defeated, especially those two monsters, Granville
             ~!and Big John. One hits you with his 1978 Ford LTD and the
             other with his bare hands. What a pair!

             "Bring me the Golden Sword. Now kneel ~!."The king
             touches you on both shoulders. "Arise. Now on to your next 
             quest!"
