Once upon a time, there lived a king who had everything and had plenty. He lived happily, as did everyone in the kingdom, until he dreamed that he lost it all. Fear took root inside him. And then nothing was like it used to be.

The king did not speak to anyone about his nightmares. He did not know, the fool, that pains and joys are shared. And so, the pains lessen and the joys grow.
