Once there was a famous flag of three kingdoms that laid on the moon that faces the sky; and four princes that stand side by side who wanted to reach the moon that faces the sky.

But the four princes had to defeat the three kingdoms first!

So they did.

The first kingdom was the weakest; and it was easy for the four princes to get pass through it.

The second kingdom was the widest, yet pale and feeble; the four princes just glided smoothly through it.

The third kingdom was not as weak as the first and not as wide as the second, but the toughest. The four princes didn’t mind so they crushed its rocky surface… until they finally reached the moon that faces the sky.

But the four princes that stand side by side weren’t content just by reaching the moon that faces the sky. Every chance they get, they travel through the three kingdoms of the famous flag… until they had the moon that faces the sky all to themselves.
