Once there was a thief named Whisper.
Whisper was a very good thief and had stolen many things in his day,
but he was getting old. He wanted to end his career on one last big
job. Whisper knew of a very rare fire ruby in the kings castle that
he wanted more then anything in the world, this was the last thing he
decided to steal. One night he broke in to the castle and, upon
seeing the ruby, was taken aback by its beauty. It shone bright red
in the night. He Stuffed the ruby in his bag and made his way out of
the castle, heading to his home in a nearby swamp. When Whisper took
the fire ruby from his bag he was surprised and sad to find that it
had stopped shining. He went to see a wise man named Henry, who told
him that, although it was still very valuable, the Ruby would not
shine outside of the castle, because that was its home. After days of
thinking, Whisper decided to return the fire ruby. He waited for
night to fall and then crept into the castle. As soon as he put the
ruby back in its place, it started to shine. Because of the sudden
light all the royal guards could see him and he was caught. Whisper
was beheaded for his many crimes against the kingdom, but he was glad
that his last act was to return the something he had stolen, the end
