The Kings Coming

| HERE was another occasion
when panic seized Gr0nkoping-
ties. this time a panic of patriot
ism. A telegram announced that
King Gustaf himself was on his
way to visit them. They decided
to organize a moose hunt in his
honor. The only trouble was
that the last wild moose seen in
the neighborhood had been shot
in 1892. There was a tame one.
though. in the local zoo.
After heated debate, it was
agreed that this moose, a friend
ly old fellow named Samuel.

wyatt a Minute!"

HE WANTED. he said, to ship the
beast to Denmark to improve the
quality of Danish stock - and
that was as far as he expected the
matter ever to get. He was thor
oughly surprised when back came
the official export permit he had
asked for. AS he stared at the
thing. a sudden doubt assaled
him. Was it possible that the
bull. not to mention Cr0n-
k0ping itself. really existed?
More than one reader of
"Veckoblad" has suffered similar
feelings. In fact. the Messrs.
Hasselskog's and Zetterstrom's
dream town by now has acquired
so many trappings of reality that
some day passenger on the bus
line between Skovde and Hjo
may very we'll cry out:
Nv ait a minute, driver

would have to be sacrificed to
the exigencies of the moment.
So, on the eve of the great day,
he was given a farewell banquet
and, to make it easier for the
King, two targets the size of
soup plates were painted on his
- the moose's - flanks. When
it was time to lead him into
the woods. Samuel had eaten
so much that he could hardly
move. By then, however, his
friends we're feeling pretty shah
by about the whole thing. 1t
came as a relief to learn the tele-
gram had been sent by a practi-
cal joker. The King wasn't COM
ing after all.
But the most revealing of the
various practical jokes, which
have been played in, on and
around Gronkoping, did not
originate in the pages of its
paper. This was the inspiration
of a resident of Stockholm, who
had grown sick and tired of gov
ernmental red tape. To express
his disgust, he sent the Swedish
Export License Bureau a request
for permission to export Gron-
koping's most famous bull, Bry-
lunda Hero.
