"I can buy corn for you for seed, and I can order poppers enough to supply the city," suggested the Pop-corn man. "So do," cried the King. And he gave orders for seven ships' cargoes of seed corn and fifty of poppers. "My people shall eat nothing else," said the King, "and the whole kingdom shall be planted with it. I am satisfied that it is the best national food."
