Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a king and queen who ruled over the kingdom. The king was a wise and just ruler, but he had one flaw - he was always getting into arguments with his wife, the queen.
One day, the king and queen were arguing about the color of the sky. The king insisted that it was blue, while the queen claimed that it was green. The argument went on for hours, and they couldn't seem to agree.
Finally, the king had an idea. He decided to settle the argument once and for all by holding a contest. He would gather all the artists in the kingdom and ask them to paint the sky. Whichever painting he and the queen liked best would be the winner, and that would be the official color of the sky.
The king sent out messengers to all the towns and villages in the kingdom, inviting artists to come and compete. The word spread quickly, and soon artists from far and wide were making their way to the palace.
The day of the contest arrived, and the king and queen were seated on their thrones, surrounded by the artists and their paintings. The king was pleased to see so many beautiful paintings of the blue sky, but the queen was equally pleased to see a number of green skies.
One painting in particular caught the queen's eye. It was a beautiful painting of a green sky, with clouds shaped like butterflies. The queen was so taken with the painting that she declared it the winner.
The king was furious. He had been so sure that the sky was blue, and now his wife was saying that it was green! He stormed out of the room, leaving the queen to bask in the glory of her victory.
Once again, artists from all over the kingdom came to compete. The king was pleased to see that many of the sculptures were of blue skies, but he was dismayed to see that some of them were of green skies.
One sculpture, in particular, caught the king's eye. It was a beautiful sculpture of a blue sky, with birds flying through the clouds. The king was so taken with the sculpture that he declared it the winner.
The queen was furious. She had been so sure that the sky was green, and now her husband was saying that it was blue! She stormed out of the room, leaving the king to bask in the glory of his victory.
The king and queen continued to argue about the color of the sky for weeks, with no end in sight. Finally, one day, they decided to ask their advisors for help.
The advisors came up with a solution. They suggested that the king and queen take a trip to the highest mountain in the kingdom, where they could see the sky up close and settle the argument once and for all.
The king and queen agreed, and they set out on their journey. As they climbed the mountain, they argued about the color of the sky. But as they reached the top and looked out over the kingdom, they were both struck by the same thing - the sky was both blue and green!
They laughed at their foolish argument and realized that sometimes things aren't as clear-cut as they seem. From that day on, the king and queen agreed to see the world from each other's perspective, and they lived happily ever after.
The end.
