The Singing Scoutmaster: The King With the Terrible Temper

[Narrator:] There once was a KING WITH A TERRIBLE TEMPER. He had three daughters, a SHORT FAT DAUGHTER, a TALL THIN DAUGHTER, and a BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER. In a nearby country, there lived a HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE. One bright spring day, this HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE rode his FIERY STEED up to the castle of the KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER. "I have come to seek a wife from among your three daughters!" The KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER first presented his oldest, the SHORT FAT DAUGHTER. "She would eat too much," said the HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE. Then the KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER presented his second daughter, the TALL THIN DAUGHTER. "No, she is too tall for me. I cannot marry your SHORT FAT DAUGHTER or your TALL THIN DAUGHTER." Just then, on the stairway appeared the BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER. Rapture filled the heart of the HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE. "I will take your BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER." His words enraged the KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER. "Call out the guards," he thundered, "turn out this impostor." But the HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE immediately seized the willing BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER, and with her in his arms, rushed out of the castle, jumped onto his FIERY STEED, and rode away. When the guards appeared, all they could see was a cloud of dust raised by the hoofs of the FIERY STEED as the HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE and the BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER disappeared in the distance. So ends the romantic tale of the KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER, and his SHORT FAT DAUGHTER, his TALL THIN DAUGHTER, his BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER, and the HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE with the FIERY STEED.
