There was a kingdom far far away where lived the mighty king John Bravo with his queen and 4 sons. He was a good king and he was proud of his kingdom and his family. They were all happy.

However, there lived a demon near the jungles on the outskirts of the kingdom. It was an ugly creature and horrible-beyong-imagination. It used to eat the wild animals of the forest. As one can imagine, the demon had a huge appetite and it finished off all the animals of the jungle one day. As the animals disappeared, there was nothing to eat for the demon. And thus, the demon entered the kingdom.

The demon created a uproar wherever he went. Shopkeepers ran away from their shops, drivers stopped running buses. The children cried like crazy and many people died of heart attacks.

Soon the demon reached the king's court. As expected, many of the king's men ran away and the few left were ones who froze with fear. The king was brave though. He stood his groud. And he asked the fierce demon in a bold voice- 'Who are you? And why have you come here unannounced?'

The demon roared back - ' My name is burratta and I have come from the jungles of juricha. I am very hungry. I want to eat something. However,all the men in your kingdom are very thin and sick looking and do not match my standards. But your sons do look healthy and yummy to me.'

This took the king by a little surprise. But he soon recovered his composure and said coolly- ' My dear sir, I would like to offer you all the stables of the state. However, I cannot allow you to eat my citizens or my sons.'
