The Sea Fairies

CHAPTER 21
5/8

What say you, comrades?
Shall we make Sacho king ?" "Yes, yes!" they all cried.
"But I do not wish to be king," replied Sacho.

"A king is a useless sort of person who merely issues orders for others to carry out.

"It seems to me that Cap'n Joe is the proper person for king," replied Sacho.
