The Patient King

Once upon a time, there was a king.

A A patient king with a crown and a robe. with a crown and a golden robe

The king lived all alone in a dark forest.

A dark forest with tall trees and thick vines

But the king was not sad or scared.

A smiling A patient king with a crown and a robe. with a bright candlelight

He knew that patience would bring light.

A A patient king with a crown and a robe. sitting on a rock, looking up

Every day, the king waited for the sun.

A A patient king with a crown and a robe. with arms crossed, waiting patiently

He knew that one day, the forest would be bright.

A A patient king with a crown and a robe. with a shining sun peeping through trees

And then, one beautiful morning, it happened!

A A patient king with a crown and a robe. with a big smile and shining forest

The king's patience had paid off at last.

A happy A patient king with a crown and a robe. surrounded by a bright forest
