The Eunuch and the bad Witch

Once upon a time there was a eunuch called Terry. He lived in AMREKH, a small but wealthy country which was reigned by a good and wise king named Billvoy Clintonis. This king had just one wife (and one daughter), so Terry did not have to work as a harem guard, as some people might think -- in fact, he was the king's highest councillor, giving advise wherever it was needed. Especially the women were fascinated by the eunuch's wisdom and androgyny, and if a couple had severe problems, he was always there to help them -- as an absolutely neutral ambassador between the sexes. In any case, they all lived together in happiness and harmony.

In the neighbouring country of MISERIA, however, the situation was quite different: Chaos was ordinary and depression was part of everyday life. Its governess, a beautiful but bad witch called Amonika Satansky, loved it just the way it was. The only thing that really annoyed her was peaceful Amrekh -- so she decided one day to seduce the king and thus create a scandal which would definitely make him fall. She even would have been successful, with her enormous beauty and her magic power, if there hadn't been a few elf-spies from Amrekh clandestinely listening to the bad witch making up her nasty plan. Fast they flew home and told king Billvoy about Amonika's plan.

The king was very upset when he heard that news -- he really loved his wife and daughter and didn't want to lose them --, but Terry suggested: "Don't worry about this dreadful woman -- as far as we know, she has never seen you in real live, so she doesn't know what you look like at all. How about me taking over your place for a while? She may be irresistible for an ordinary male person, but not for someone like me!" King Billvoy hesitated a few seconds, but then he agreed. When Amonika Satansky arrived (of course, she travelled incognito), Terry was already waiting for her; the witch pretended to be looking for an internship in the king's castle. "I'd like to learn how your excellent government and administration works in order to improve the situation in my own country!" That was clever, that was smart, but not smart enough to fool him. Very soon she started flirting heavily with the person she thought to be the king. She put on her most beautiful dresses and tried to seduce him -- in vain. Finally she put a spell on him that was meant to make him lose control and become her mindless slave. But not even her magic power was able to break the eunuch's will, and so she got very depressed: "Hey man, what's wrong with you? Are you gay or are you impotent? I always get the man I want to get. Come on, just let me see -- drop your pants, darling!" Terry obeyed with a diabolic grin on his face, and when she saw the facts -- or better: didn't see them at all --, Amonika got so angry that she exploded right away, leaving nothing but a cloud of black smoke. A few months afterwards, Amrekh and Miseria got united and all the people were living in peace and harmony until the end of their days.
