The King: In the entire kingdom of cockroaches, no one feeds another. Every cockroach seeks its own sustenance.<\/p>\n
The Queen: So I am free to do as I please?<\/p>\n
The King: And who said you aren’t free?!<\/p>\n
The Queen: Then leave me alone. I decide when to work and when to be idle, when to sleep and when to wake up!<\/p>\n
The King: Of course you are free, but as a queen, you must be a good example.<\/p>\n
The Queen: A good example for whom?<\/p>\n
The King: For your subjects, of course.<\/p>\n
The Queen: Your subjects! And where are they?! All my life, I’ve never seen anyone around you except three: the minister, the priest, and the learned scholar.<\/p>\n
The King: Enough. They are the elite, the distinguished few.<\/p>\n
The Queen: But as the king, the people must gather around you.<\/p>\n
The King: Have you forgotten the nature of our kind? We are not like those small creatures called “ants”… those Those who gather by the thousands at all times, for no good reason or no good reason at all!<\/p>\n
Queen: Don’t remind me of ants! A king like you claims to have value and power, yet he doesn’t know how to solve the ant problem!<\/p>\n
King: The ant problem?! Ah… ah…
\nQueen: Ah… ah… Is that all you have to say?!<\/p>\n
King: What reminded you of ants now?!
\nQueen: Their constant threat to us… A queen like me… In my position, beauty, elegance, and splendor, I walk with every step trembling with fear that my foot might slip and I’ll fall on my back… And woe to me if I fall on my back… For I will quickly become prey to armies of ants…
\nKing: Then beware of falling on your back!
\nQueen: Is that all you have to offer?!
\nKing: You want a solution overnight for a problem as old as time itself?!
\nQueen: Then be silent and don’t boast about the length of your mustache!
\nKing: Please… Don’t speak to the king in that tone!
\nQueen: The king?! I wonder who made you king!
\nKing: I made myself…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
