THE LION’S SHARE (a 55-word story)
King Thespius had fifty daughters of marrying age.
And a plan.
He charged Hercules to kill a lion that terrorised the locals.
Every day, Hercules would hunt but find nothing.
And every night, Hercules would console himself by making love to a different daughter.
“How many days have passed?”
“Fifty, your Majesty.”
“Release the lion!”
