The Kingdom of Kana Dada

Once upon a time in a distant kingdom called Kana Dada there lived the most handsome King Petrus. All the young ladies of the court loved him.

King Petrus was very smart and he once said that if you wanted to get a job done give it to General Johannus.

General Johannus kept things under his control and could always deliver the goods.

Now kingship had to be earned and the people of the kingdom could select the person who was to be their next king.

General Johannus had a good chance to become king. He was hungry for that power.

He took care of his friends with rewards. The people from his birth village were also rewarded. They loved him.

He later became King Johannus! He used his power as he pleased.

King Johannus knew that to be selected a second and third time he would be required to continue having many friends and had to find new ways to reward them.

Now King Johannus never provided gift money from his limited personal treasury but he could have money moved from the kingdom’s treasury. He was never to be seen doing this but had others act for him. He gave the key to the treasury to one of his favourites, General Alfonsus. All the people who raided the treasury and the people who received special rewards were never to identify themselves or any others who were involved.

Later, it was learned that money had left the treasury illegally and the people of the kingdom were angry and wanted to know what had happened. They said there was much do-do in Kana Dada!

King Johannus left the power of the kingdom to one of his strongest generals, called Paulus. King Paulus had a major clean-up job to do.

The people, under the new King Paulus carried out a big inquisition that lasted many weeks. This inquisition was carried out under the leadership of the Grand Inquisitor, Justinius Gomerus, a most highly respected and honourable gentleman.

In the end, the finger pointed in the direction of the old King Johannus as he had held the key to the treasury.

Someone said the key was like a smoking gun.

The people remembered little Johannus Hornerus sitting in a corner and saying: "What a good boy am I." How times change!

Can we believe that the former King Johannus was guilty?
