King Frederick was beloved by his people. When an enemy in disguise suggested throwing open the gates for a
birthday celebration for the king, the people
enthusiastically planned the event. On the big day, the

king in the hands of the enemy. Knowing he would be killed
if he did not give up his crown peacefully, the king yelled
for his people to rise up and fight. Though they lost their
king, they overcame the enemy.
