to Canada
This morning I was sitting in my throne room, enjoying the beautiful view out my window, the nice river running adjacent to the palace property, abundant cows in nearby pastures, a wheat farm over there, sugar next to the wheat farm, a vineyard growing next to the sugar, an excellent supply of wine, forest nearby for the children to play, as well as a good supply of furs, those elephants next to the forest giving us a nice supply of ivory, a horse ranch just beyond the pastures, our iron mine in distant hills, other forests from whence the women collect silks for weaving, and then dyes to enhance their work, and finally that one spot of almost useless property which nicely supplies incense to our priests, I surveyed all of this and I thought, "Life is good."
