The Sultan of Brunei was beginning to worry, for although he had 6
children, he had no son and therefore, no heir. Imagine his joy when one of his wives finally presented him with his first and only son and heir.
Before his son's sixth birthday, the Sultan spoke to him and said, "Son, I am proud of you. Anything you want, I shall get it for you."
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to have my own aeroplane."
Not wanting to do things by halves, he bought him American Airlines.
Before his son's 7th birthday, the Sultan spoke to him and said, "Son, I am very proud of you. Anything you want, I shall get it for you."
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat."
Not wanting to do things by halves, his father bought him The Princess Cruise Lines.
Just before his son's eighth birthday, the Sultan spoke to him and said, "Son, you bring so much happiness into my life. Anything you want, I shall get for you."
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to be able to watch cartoons."
Not wanting to do things by halves, his father bought him Disney Studios, and their theatres, where he watched all his favourite cartoons.
Just before his son's ninth birthday, the Sultan spoke to him and said, "Son, you are an inspiration to us all. Anything you want, I shall get for you."
His son, who had really become obsessed with the Disney cartoons, replied, "Daddy, I would like a Mickey Mouse outfit."
Again, not wanting to do things by halves, his father bought him the entire NZ cricket team.
