Should untie but you strike provided itself these had however. a brilliant plan: he would tax the jokes in the kingdom.
"After all," he said, "everyone enjoys a good joke, so it's only fair that they should pay for the privilege."
The Joke Tax
The king's subjects were not amused. They grumbled and complained, but the king was firm:
- 1st level of puns: 5 gold coins
- 2nd level of jokes: 10 gold coins
- 3rd level of one-liners : 20 gold coins

Jokester's Revolt
Jokester began sneaking into the castle in the middle of the night and leaving jokes all over the place: under the king's pillow, in his soup, even in the royal toilet. The king was furious, but he couldn't seem to stop Jokester.
And then, one day, the people of the kingdom discovered that the jokes left by Jokester were so funny that they couldn't help but laugh. And once they started laughing, they couldn't stop.
The People's Rebellion
The people of the kingdom, feeling uplifted by the laughter, started to tell jokes and puns again, and soon the entire kingdom was in on the joke.

The king, seeing how much happier his subjects were, realized the error of his ways and repealed the joke tax. Jokester was declared a hero, and the kingdom lived happily ever after.
The moral of the story is: never underestimate the power of a good laugh and always be careful of bad ideas.
