Легко ли быть королем?

"I didn't have enough for that!" cried the king, when he was told, that a war had started.
Things in the kingdom were badly out of hand: they were half starved, an epidemic raged, and the subjects were whining.
"Don't you think it is time to talk to the wizard?"
"He'll refuse," the minister said shaking his head.
"We'll persuade him," the king didn't like being objected.
A committee was sent to the wizard. The wizard looked not in spirit since morning.
“What is this! Why did you come here?”
“O powerful and mighty! We urgently need your help!
“Why always me, and me?”
“No one else can!”
They only got to the city at night time. The town was awful. The lights hadn’t been on for a long time, and rats were running on the streets. The wizard left the carriage.“O why is it so dark? What is this? Rats? A,” yelled the wizard and jumped back into the carriage,“ I can’t work like this. Turn on the light and get the rats out of here.”
He rode back home. The people couldn’t do anything. They turned on the light and poisoned the rats. Again they went to the wizard.
“Again! I’m not going! You have such a noise that I have a headache since last time.”
“It’s they cry because they are hungry and because they are sick.”
“So feed them. Cure them.”
So they opened extra storerooms and sowed new fields. They fed everyone and made sure everyone got enough to drink. They called doctors from all over the world, opened up hospitals, and cured the sick. They again went to the wizard.
“Help us,” they said.
“I’m tired of it! Help us, help us! Also, your tanks rumble, you shoot, and everything explodes. I can’t even concentrate,” the wizard said.
The people went on the battlefield.
“Hey, guys! That’s enough! The wizard can’t work here!”
They somehow agreed and again went to the wizard.
“What do you want now?
“Help us!”
“What do you need help with?”
They started thinking.
“We don’t think there is anything. Thank you.”
“Tiring me without a need,” the wizard snarled,”no respect for magic!”
