A bow to royalty was initially a moment of surprise, when the very first person greeting the king was surprised by the size of his bulge. Thenceforth, became a tradition to bend the head to acknowledge the similar line of sight.
The very first public meeting the king ever made had been with an unexpected turn for events.
As many gentlemen are custom to, shaking hands is what was in due course, however.
Upon the king holding his hand out to greet a young chap, this said fellow man of the kings regime, had unexpectedly looked down in surprise.
The king unsure what was happening, other than the obvious, felt it to become a tradition that all future events, a bow is of a proposed means to greet ones king.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
