Once upon a time there was a King who was quite mad, through and through. So mad in fact, that he would kill every daughter his wife bore as he only wanted sons. He lived in a huge castle right next to the sea.
The kingdom that this King ruled over stretched far and wide. All the good people knew fine and well that the king was as mad as a hatter. This meant most of the villages just kept to themselves.
Every night the King would make his way down to the beach. He would sit and stare at the ocean, taking in its beauty. Every time he came back from the beach he would tell his wife that the ocean was speaking to him but she would shrug it off as his madness.
This continued for many years, every night the same, the King would come back and repeat over and over again that the ocean was speaking to him. This got too much for the Queen to handle and she confronted him. She made it clear he was to either prove it to her or they would be divorced.
So the King scoured the land for all the famous linguists, oceanographers and anyone who could help. They all gathered at the beach and waited day and night for the ocean to say something to them. To prove the mad King was truly right about this.
After 3 weeks, the King got so fed up, he stood up and took a deep breathe and screamed at the ocean:
“If you’re going to say something to me, do it now! Or I shall never come back here!”
But the ocean still said nothing. It just waved.
