The Storey of the Wise King, The Castle Builder and the Magician
Then one day the magician phoned the castle builder to see if there was any news? Yes indeed said the castle builder agreements are signed and underway. The castle builder’s men were not leaving the land as the schedule implied, as things had slowed down and there was still much building to be done. The castle builder explained that there was a new King in the land now, and work was carrying on and agreements made to continue at last, to his great relief. The castle builder said the agreements for the magic plans would soon be sent and that could the magician ensure the builders were preparing correctly for the magic to follow.
Instead, the magician found himself looking at the adverts asking for new spells in other lands and some seemed very interesting indeed. Was the magician able the even remember the spells he had agreed to make after all this time; he could hardly remember them now? He wanted to make new spells in the exciting places he had read about.
