One upon a time, there was a far away land that had never hear of the World Wide Web. In this far away land, it was customary for people to write letters, with pens, paper, and such. Among the writers of this country was Prince Egypt to his beloved.
As he was strolling about his garden, atop the east wing of his palace, Prince Egypt spied a youth a few miles away. He implored a Royal Messenger to discover the identity of the young man. The messenger revealed the young man’s name to be Licar of the Huntsbow tradition. (Unfortunately, and unbeknownst to the Prince, this young man had a speech impediment. Now, had the prince asked the messenger what he had lunch—hamburger—the messenger would have responded “Bamberger” and all would have been well, but alas, the Prince was hasty and infatuated.) Hearing “Buntsbow” the Prince quickly sent the messenger away and pondered what to do. Prince Egypt decided to follow in the romantic tradition of his time and send Licar a letter infused with the sacred scent of himself. The letter, when loosely translated, read as the following:
DEAR YOUNG SIR: YOU HAVE CAUGHT MY EYE AND TURNED MY HEART. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL RETURN MY LOVE. I HAVE SCENTED THIS LETTER FOR YOU. IF MY SCENT APPEALS TO THY GOOD SENSE, PLEASE WEAR MY RING. I HAVE LEFT IT IN THE BARK OF THE CARRIE TREE ON THE NEAREST BANK OF THE RIVER, BUT A FEW PACES FROM THINE HOUSE.
Signed: “Man of Men.” Prince Egypt summoned another messenger and had him deliver the letter to “the young son of Buntsbow” concealed in a green envelope addressed to Licar of the Bunstbow tradition.
The Buntsbow people received the letter and instead of returning it, for there was no Licar in their tradition, they decided to open it, rather than send it back with the messenger, for the envelope looked to be that of a wealthy statesmen. The master of the house journeyed to the river and in the bark of the Carrie Tree he unturned Prince Egypt's ruby ring.
As days went on the prince inquired about his ring, for he never saw his letter arrive at Licar's dwelling. When the prince discovered the treachery, the thievery, of the Buntsbow tradition he was outraged! It was in his rage that Prince Egypt planned a plan. He mailed another green envelope, addressed to his beloved Licar, to the dwelling Buntsbow tradition. This time the letters included one of his teeth, enchanted with a spell fresh from his lips curdled with passion for young Licar and rage at the deceit of a weak tradition.
The master of the Buntsbow family opened the letter hungry for a chance to amass a greater fortune. Upon touching the tooth concealed, he was weary with delusion and fell to the floor.
He awakened to find himself choking on his tooth.
The spell that Prince Egypt cast caused the holder of the Buntsbow tradition to lose each of his teeth causing him to slowly bleed to death. As the last tooth pushed itself free from the bonds of the holder's gums, the Holder's eyes began to set and the glimmer of Prince Egypt's ruby ring was the last vision upon his eyes, a last reminder of why he now answered the call of death.
