[citat]Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, the King decided he needed a new trumpet player for his royal retinue. So, he decided to hold a competition, and the winner would be made the royal trumpetist. Dozens of hopeful musicians gathered to the castle on the day of the competition, as did the common folks, to listen to the best of the land play. On the midday, a competitor whose trumpet was wrought from silver, strode forth and set his notations on a silver stand, and started playing. It was the most rousing tune ever heard in the land, and after he stopped, the whole town cheered, and the king rose from his throne to congratulate the man. "I doubt that anyone will top this, but still let us hear the next man play!" The crowd parted to reveal a man carrying a golden horn, setting his notations on a gold-wrought stand. The song was breathtaking. When he stopped, the audience was so stunned that they actually forgot to clap. The king rose from his throne, wiping tears from his eyes, and boomed "By God! You are the clear winner, but anyone who still wishes to play, can come forth now!" From the crowd, an old man emerged. He was carrying a battered tin horn, and set his notes on the floor as he had no stand for them. And he couldn't play for shit.[slut_citat] Berätta era historier!
