Once upon a time, there was an aristocrat who lived in a kingdom ruled by a cruel dictator. The dictator imposed tyranny on the people and they were desperate to be liberated. One day, an omen appeared in the sky, predicting the fall of the tyrant. The aristocrat decided to lead the people to overthrow the dictator and liberate the kingdom. However, the dictator was too powerful to defeat in battle. So, the aristocrat came up with a daring plan to assassinate the dictator in his sleep. With the help of the people, the aristocrat snuck into the castle, climbed up to the dictator's bedroom, and gave him a good tickle. The dictator laughed so hard that he fell off his bed and became unconscious. The people declared the aristocrat their new ruler and the kingdom was finally free from tyranny. The end.
