Once upon a time there was a President named Mr. Eager who was eager to receive everyone's opinion about his new fashion statement - a mustache and a beard. He believed that it made him look more presidential. But when he asked his citizens, they all had different opinions. Some thought the mustache was too long, some thought the beard was too bushy, and others thought both were just right. One day, a little girl came to the presidential palace and told Mr. Eager that she loved his facial hair because it made him look like a superhero. The President was so happy to hear this that he decided to keep his mustache and beard just the way they were. From then on, he became known as the President with the greatest facial hair in the land. The end.
