King Colin is feeling rather grumpy one morning. He does what he wants, when he wants because he is King and he can. His family try to tell him to behave better but he doesnt listen to them. It is only when Great Queen Connie shows up that things start to change. Turns out even Kings can still be sent to their rooms by their mothers when theyre naughty!
