Once upon a time in Aruba village, there was a young king who got married to the prettiest girl in his village. As a king, all he wanted was a male child, but it was so unfortunate for him to have a male child who would take over from him when he was no more.

The first wife which the king got married to gave birth to four girls before he remarried another wife. Whenever his first wife was to give birth, the king usually gathered all the soothsayers in the community to tell him if his wife would give birth to a boy or girl. The king was ready to do anything possible for him to have a baby boy.

As the first wife couldn't give him a male child, he got married again to another woman after 2 years of their marriage, the woman got pregnant and gave him a female child after 9 months of her pregnancy. The King kept marrying hoping to get a male child, and he got married to a third wife who still gave him a female child instead of a male child.

Due to how serious the king was about having a male child, he began looking for other alternatives and he traveled to a faraway community to seek solutions through a marine Kingdom. This is how craving for power can make someone start doing things that aren't right. As the king went to the marine Kingdom, he was told to offer one of his daughters for sacrifice and not just his daughter, but the one that he loved the most in exchange for a make child.

After the sacrifice he had made, the loveliest daughter of his the smartest among all others died before his return to his kingdom after some months one of his wives began pregnant and he invited all the soothsayers in his community to check if the pregnancy was causing a male child or not. It was detected that the pregnancy was a male child, and he became so excited and threw a very big party.

Finally, after 9 months his wife gave birth to an imbecile male child who couldn't even talk properly. The king went back to the marine Kingdom and complained and he was told to make another sacrifice but this time around he refused and chose to accept things the way it is.
