Ghost of a Tale (№ 415100)

Listen to the song of Rodrik the First, the cowardly of kings!
When ferrets raced from the bottomless mines of Soleur into a raid,
He hid in the highest of towers while the alarm sounded!
Here it is - the moment to show valor in a fierce battle.
But Rodrik the King turned yellow with his face, because he is not one of the brave.
Clutching his tail and hiding his face, he sailed somewhere in the distance.
The people called him and begged him, but he did not feel sorry for them.
But fate repaid, the ship was broken, and the coward disappeared forever.
