Childhood
This story took place in a territory known as Kingsland during the time when the kings were the supreme rulers of the land. The story has a plentiful supply of kindness and generosity, as well as a great deal of despair and surprises. It’s not just the story about the two kings, but it’s also the story about the numerous lessons that were learned by the most powerful people in Kingsland. Lessons that made them change their way of thinking, as well as their actions. There were many kingdoms throughout Kingsland, but they were very far apart from each other. Each kingdom was totally independent, but there was, however, one king who was the overall ruler of them all; his name was King Soopream. He was the supreme king. Among many other kings, there were two kings in Kingsland who played a major role on the lives of many people throughout the territory. One king was always generous, respectful, kind and pleasant. The other king was always selfish, disrespectful, unkind and mean. As the story unfolds, many years before Prince Generous and Prince Selfish were crowned as kings, early one morning, at King Phare’s palace, he was tending to his daily activities as king. King Phare was fair and his queen knew it, so she always counted on him to do the right thing. King Phare’s wife, Queen Gudwyphe, was a good wife, so she always did the right thing as well – which was to consult the king whenever there was a problem. The queen informed the king that their twin sons, Prince Generous and Prince Selfish, were having an argument over a silly game that they were playing. King Phare immediately stepped outside to try to resolve the problem. Once outdoors, King Phare saw his two sons arguing very loudly. “What’s going on?” Prince Selfish was the first one to reply. “We’re playing a game and I should be the one to win, not Generous.” At that moment, King Phare had his hands full. “Come on, now, play fairly. Someone has to win and someone has to lose.

About the Author
After many years of telling stories, I have decided to write several books about the many tales that I told my children at bedtime when they were small. They enjoyed every one of my stories, even when they were growing into adolescence. They wanted to hear a different story every night before they went to sleep. This one took almost a week to tell.
“The Clock of Peaceville” was the first book that I ever published. “King Generous and King Selfish” was only my second book. I have written many other books which will be published in the near future.
I have a degree in computer sciences from NYCC. I have done many things in my life, but I am now a retired real estate broker. I am a divorced father of two grown children. I love the outdoors, but what I enjoy the most is fishing on the ocean; I can’t seem to get enough of it. When I’m not fishing, I’m writing stories.
