Once upon a time there lived a king. But this king wasn’t a good king. He was a bad king. He hated the English language, so he wanted everybody to speak Slovene. People didn’t want to speak Slovene, so they decided to send him to England. He was looking forward to meeting the queen. So, he went to England. After he left his people prepared a celebration. When the king was in England, he realised that English is a very beautiful language. Everybody understands you. Well, he also realised how dumb it is if you speak Slovene in other countries when no-one can understand you. So, he decided that, even though Slovene is their mother tongue, his people can speak English if they want to. This way they can practise a foreign language which is spoken abroad.
