“In this engaging chapter, we meet King John of England and his whimsical interaction with an abbot. The king poses three tricky questions to the abbot, hoping to test his wit. The abbot, however, cleverly answers each question in a way that both satisfies and astonishes the king. Through this story, we explore themes of cleverness, wisdom, and the art of navigating tricky situations with grace.”
