1
00:00:12,067 --> 00:00:29,710
The king was bored.

2
00:00:29,711 --> 00:00:39,075
"Read a book," the queen said.

3
00:00:39,076 --> 00:00:42,533
"It's raining," the king said.

4
00:00:42,534 --> 00:00:45,192
"Rain makes me grumpy."

5
00:00:45,193 --> 00:00:48,084
"Dirk," said the queen.

6
00:00:48,085 --> 00:00:50,527
"Fetch the new jester.

7
00:00:50,528 --> 00:00:53,149
He'll make the king laugh."

8
00:00:53,150 --> 00:01:01,470
Dirk gulped.

9
00:01:01,471 --> 00:01:07,535
Then he hurried out.

10
00:01:07,536 --> 00:01:10,511
"Uh-oh," thought Tom.

11
00:01:10,512 --> 00:01:15,340
"I think Dirk forgot to hire a new jester."

12
00:01:15,341 --> 00:01:17,380
Dirk came back.

13
00:01:17,381 --> 00:01:21,288
He was dragging a strange boy.

14
00:01:21,289 --> 00:01:24,773
"Here's the new jester!" Dirk said.

15
00:01:24,774 --> 00:01:27,708
The boy looked surprised.

16
00:01:27,709 --> 00:01:31,035
"Make me laugh," said the king.

17
00:01:31,036 --> 00:01:36,428
"Um . . ." The boy looked nervous.

18
00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:39,492
"I can fix things," he said.

19
00:01:39,493 --> 00:01:42,123
"Do you have a hole in your bucket?"

20
00:01:42,124 --> 00:01:47,482
"Ha-ha!" Dirk laughed loudly.

21
00:01:47,483 --> 00:01:55,185
"That's funny!"

22
00:01:55,186 --> 00:01:57,751
But the king frowned.

23
00:01:57,752 --> 00:02:00,713
"Juggle something," the king said.

24
00:02:00,714 --> 00:02:12,717
Dirk got some plates.

25
00:02:12,718 --> 00:02:15,611
The jester threw the plates into the air.

26
00:02:15,612 --> 00:02:17,658
He tried to catch them.

27
00:02:17,659 --> 00:02:22,778
The plates crashed to the floor.

28
00:02:22,779 --> 00:02:27,669
The king and Dirk laughed.

29
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:30,221
But the queen was angry.

30
00:02:30,222 --> 00:02:34,460
"You broke my best dishes!" she said.

31
00:02:34,461 --> 00:02:38,173
Everybody stopped laughing.

32
00:02:38,174 --> 00:02:42,792
"Tomorrow is the Grand Banquet," the king said.

33
00:02:42,793 --> 00:02:46,962
"Jester, you must make everyone laugh!"

34
00:02:46,963 --> 00:02:51,213
"But no broken dishes!" the queen said.

35
00:02:51,214 --> 00:02:55,793
"I will lock the jester in his room," Dirk said.

36
00:02:55,794 --> 00:02:58,614
"He can practice all night."

37
00:02:58,615 --> 00:03:00,351
The boy spoke.

38
00:03:00,352 --> 00:03:01,800
"But I'm not a—"

39
00:03:01,801 --> 00:03:10,894
"Come with me!" Dirk snapped.
