The Mighty Beaver looked like a regular beaver, the way they used to look back in the days. Despite his looks, he was Mighty with capital M! No one knew what made him Mighty. It was the best-kept secret. People called him Embee to hide his magic nature. Embee was a northern wanderer artist, visiting northern princely courts and singing ballads for bed and meal. His voice was so mesmerizing that whenever he’d arrived at a castle, the local Lord would lock his daughters in the tower, far away from his enchanting voice.
One day, Embee arrived at the Canaburg and found it in mourning. They wouldn’t even produce their famous Canape anymore. That’s how upset they were. The CanaLord told him that his son, the CanaPrince, had been declared by the Orange King a thief! A BACKSTABBING THIEF!
“He stole our shoes!” the Orange King had announced in the public square. “They live in mud igloos up there, in the north, and wear tree bark shoes. Some say grass shoes, but this administration does not believe in grass. So, we decided tree bark.”
One of his advisors said: “Well, he actually bought the shoes he took back home, your Orangeness!”
“No, my story is better and if I tell it out loud, it will be the TRUTH. My subjects love me!”
Then the Orange King addressed the public once more: “Our shoes are made of beautiful, beautiful swan skin. Their neck skin. Elegant and regal, like us. We are special. And the savage northerners are envious of our accomplishments. So, they sent their Treacherous Prince to steal our shoes from our beautiful feet.”
Nobody knows what the CanaLord asked of the Mighty Beaver, but Embee was seen crossing the border into the Orange Kingdom late at night. And now all the Orange King’s trusted courtiers tremble, waiting to see WHY THE MIGHTY BEAVER CROSSED THE BORDER.
