Here we have the conclusion to the Bird of Truth story, a folktale that hails from Spain. This half is much more interesting, in my opinion, and it's always fun to hear the silly things a witch tries to do to punish errant children.

It's got a happy ending, a brief mentioning of beheadings, and then everything is sunshine and roses once more.

And for those that wonder, there is a habit I picked up from the Hitchhiker's Guide series where anytime there is a king I give him the voice of Elvis. It's one of my many little "in" jokes that are just for me and those who are sufficiently eccentric to figure it out. There are other things I do like that, but I don't think I'll reveal what those are just yet.

I hope you enjoy the story!
