the turnip king was a tyrant. he lived in a castle made of dirt and ruled over all the vegetables. one day the farmer came and took the turnip king. the turnip king said "you can not eat me. i am the turnip king" but the farmer did not listen and he made the turnip king into soup. the vegetables stormed the castle and took the turnip queen, the turnip taughter, and the bastard son and left them out for the rabbits. the vegetables were then ruled by an elected potato.
