DANCE OF THE LOLLIPOPS

The following narrative goes with this pen and ink drawing.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a sweet and good king called for a festival to celebrate his kingdomÕs prosperity and good fortune. Inhabitants of this fortunate land gathered from far and wide. Through mountain passes and down fertile valleys, they came in large numbers, from all parts of this happy kingdom.

Even though the king asked that fun making be kept simple, all of the excitement spontaneously caused an odd but marvelously colorful occurrence. All of the lollipops in the kingdom started to dance.

To this day, whenever the king calls for a celebration, festivities begin with the colorful Dance of The Lollipops.
