Excerpt from The 13th Son, and Some Other Parables But his father said: It is not my fault that my wife is a fruitful vine and Malthus a true prophet. How soever the Lord will provide. Then the first son said: I will be a King or whatever ye choose to call me, Czar or President or Duke, for ye must have some one to rule over ye, and sit upon throne, and give ye ribbons to wear in your button holes. Then the second son said: I will be a General, a soldier to do your fighting, in case anyone comes to take away the throne of your king, or saith he is bow-legged and cross-eyed and his crown a misfit. Then the third son said: I will be an Admiral and carry the totem of our family to foreign lands, where the natives may behold its glory. Also when the King and the General may decide to go to war, I will carry them across the seas to kill other families, and bring home the spoils thereof.
