What Power is Often Made Of

Sit back, my friends, and let me tell you the saga of Omani, the canine who overthrew the infamous ruler Bosheba. Long ago, when the world was young, King Bosheba ruled the city of Bangal with an iron fist. Bosheba always carried with him a magic wand that was given to him by a powerful sorcerer. Legend had it that the owner of the wand could turn anyone who looked at him into dust. When Bosheba walked through the town square, his subjects averted their eyes, for fear that they would be annihilated by the cruel ruler. One day, Omani strode into Bangal, hunting for some food. Prior to that day, Omani had never heard of Bosheba or his legendary powers. So when Bosheba came walking through the square, his crown gleaming in the radiant sunlight, Omani couldn’t help but stare directly at him. “What’s this?” shouted Bosheba. He stopped in his tracks and pointed his wand at Omani. “Avert your eyes, dog! Don’t you know of my powers?” Omani remained poised, looking at the king. Bosheba didn’t look very powerful to him. In fact, in his oversize crown and patchwork cape, the king looked rather comical. Omani found his appearance so amusing that he started to laugh. “You dare laugh at the king?” Bosheba shouted with fury. “Very well! You shall be turned to dust!” The king pointed his wand at Omani and screamed, “To dust!” Omani cocked his head and stared at him. “To dust!” Bosheba shouted again. “To dust! To dust!” But much to the king’s surprise, his attempts were fruitless. The wand was nothing more than a sparkly stick, not even long enough to be a cane. When the people of Bangal heard what was happening, they too turned their eyes to look at the king. As they saw him directly for the first time, they realized that he did not seem powerful at all. He was simply a small man in a silly outfit waving a useless stick in the air. On that day, the people of Bangal took their city back from their cruel king. And forever afterward, they remembered the lesson taught to them by Omani: You might be surprised by what you will see if you only have the courage to look.
