King Ram the Great
Why is he so great?
King Ram the Great was a kind, peace-loving king and he did what any kind, peace-loving king would do. He stopped wars, declared peace, yodeled in pudding, and invented the wheel again and again and again. He ruled Narnia with a gentle fist but only one since the other hand was busy cuddling a stuffed toy. He would forever be his 'mama's little boy' since he still had problems tying his shoes and couldn't get his pants on without sticking both legs through one pant leg. (We all fear for how he gets his shirt on!)
With all that we know about King Ram the Great from the first paragraph we all wonder how he fights his wars. Because he wasn't much of a fighter King Ram invented Ultra-Super Glue! He found that he could glue any two surfaces together with this sticky substance after he managed to glue one hand to the wall and the other to his head. Afterwards he enjoyed watching his enemies struggle to unstick themselves from each other.
He always has to be accompanied by someone when he goes through the castle because he has gotten lost in the castle before. The longest he was lost was three days when he tried to go to the bathroom by himself and ended up in the basement. Everyone still wonders about how he did that when the bathroom was right across from his room.
We have the story of Kitten in the Well while everyone in Narnia has the story of King Ram in the Well. When King Ram was still a child (about 14 or 15 years old) he was throwing things in the well to show his mother how things echoed. He accidentally tripped over his feet and actually fell into the well (He made a wonderful echo). That accident became a famous story know by all in Narnia. A safety net was also placed around the well to make sure he wouldn't fall in again.
King Ram the Great was great with kids and loved to play with the Narnian children. He had a playground built for them so that they could have somewhere to play and he often went there to play as well. He usually avoided the swings since, for some reason, he always managed to get himself entangled and someone would have to help to untangle him.
He loved to draw and color and all his pictures were colorful and creative. What the pictures actually were nobody knew but someday they hoped they would know. But until then the pictures were simply considered squiggly lines. There was a whole stack of them stored in his closet and the nurse would often wonder what the pictures were supposed to be as she continually added to the pile.
The greatest thing that King Ram the Great did was to save a centaur from a pack of wolves. The stupidest thing he ever did was to accidentally ride over the edge of a cliff as he tried to escaped the wolves as they turned their attention to him instead of the centaur. If he had landed in the water then he would probably have had a chance to live. To this day Narnians continue to marvel at the print his body had made on a little road that ran past the river.
Now we all know why King Ram the Great is called King Ram the Great but I still wonder why he wasn't called King Ram the Mediocre. That is a mystery for another time.
