Two Kings

Kings
The King of Madagao,
being engaged in a dispute with the King of Bornegascar, wrote him as follows:
“Before proceeding further in this matter I demand the recall of your Minister
from my capital.” Greatly enraged by this impossible demand, the King of
Bornegascar replied: “I shall not recall my Minister. Moreover, if you do
not immediately retract your demand I shall withdraw him!” This threat so
terrified the King of Madagao that in hastening to comply he fell over his own
feet, breaking the Third Commandment.
