Many lifetimes ago, a small kingdom famous for its abundant agriculture and long rivers, was ruled by a wise king. The kingdom’s majestic mountains shielded it from foreign enemies., and this geography, coupled with the king’s just policies, allowed its citizens to thrive and prosper. One day, an obviously fraught gaggle of the kingdom’s senators brought him the terrible news that a massive army of locusts was spreading across neighboring lands and would be taking a week at the most to visit theirs.

As soon as the prince received the letter and saw on it his Queen mother’s seal, he already knew that his father’s health had severely deteriorated. Refusing to despair, he decided to make the usual six-day journey in four.

The king gathered his most trusted advisors for a meeting at which they all expressed their defeat, save for an old council member who asked for a private audience with the king. The old man then proceeded to him to seek the counsel of an old couple who live atop the kingdom’s largest mountain and are known to the local villagers for their piety and wisdom
