chocolate milk. His name was

made sure that all of the cows were fed
great supplies of chocolate to continue to
provide him with his beloved chocolate
milk drink.

breakfast. He drank chocolate milk with his
lunch. He drank chocolate milk with his
dinner. He even drank chocolate milk for
his bedtime snack. King Henry drank
chocolate milk by the liters!
King Henry was so obsessed
with his chocolate milk that he
wrote a decree making it
illegal for anyone to drink
chocolate milk, except for
himself. King Henry’s wife was
furious with his decision to
create such a law so she
grabbed her kids to go stay
with her mother. The guards
were upset with the King too,
so they left the castle to find a
new king to take care of.
Soon, King Henry was all alone….BUT, he
had his chocolate milk. Depressed, he
drank more chocolate milk than ever. And
one evening, he overdosed on chocolate
milk. His body couldn’t process all of the
chocolate.
