Written Narration : An Island Story

When King Richard died John, his brother became king.  He was very bad and cruel to the people and when he knew that another of his brother had a son named Arthur, he wanted Hubert to burn his eyes.  When Hubert wanted to burn his eyes, he coughed a little.  Arthur said gently to him that if he were ill Arthur wanted to nurse him.  Hubert was touched and lied to King John that Arthur was already dead.  King John rejoiced but the people grieved.  When they knew it was only a lie, everybody was very happy, even the king because he had very little soldiers left.
