Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a tiny kingdom ruled by King Dead. King Dead was not alive like you and me, but he was a king nonetheless. He was very strong, but also very weak because he was made of bones.

King Dead had two loyal knights, Sir Strong and Sir Weak. Sir Strong was the strongest man in the kingdom, while Sir Weak was, well, weak. They both had a tough job because they had to protect the kingdom from the forces of darkness.

One day, a nuclear bomb fell from the sky and landed in the kingdom. King Dead knew that this bomb was very heavy and dangerous, and he needed Sir Strong and Sir Weak to help him get rid of it. They all worked together to carry the bomb to the edge of the kingdom, but it was too heavy for just the three of them.

So, King Dead had a brilliant idea. He told Sir Strong to hold the bomb high up in the air, and Sir Weak to hold it low. King Dead then stood in the middle, using his strength to balance the bomb. They all marched to the edge of the kingdom and just as they were about to throw it into the sea, Sir Weak tripped and fell, causing the bomb to fly into the air!

King Dead and Sir Strong quickly jumped up and caught the bomb before it could fall back down. They then threw it as far as they could into the sea, where it exploded into a bright, light show. The kingdom was saved!

From that day on, Sir Strong and Sir Weak were known as the heroes of the kingdom. King Dead was very proud of them, and they all lived happily ever after, in the light and away from the darkness.

The end.
