The Magical Land of Kornograd

You stay with your mother. Your father comes into your room and you tell him. King Ferdinand (your father) got really mad, but then soften up and told you that you are 'a fine young lad' and that you may not want to travel on the way. King Ferdinand asked, "Next year?" You nod and your father ruffles your hair and yells,"That my boy!" He walks out.
