One of the former captives did stare,
He did not know how he would fare.
This princess, could she,
With that bell, could she
Bring honor back to lowly he.

His imprisonment had been unjust:
He'd run afoul of an evil king's lust.
When he got in the way,
He was put away,
To sit in the dark gathering dust.

This day he thought would come
When his imprisonment would be done.
Now stood he here
With not little fear
But also hope to be free again.

Meeting his eye, said the princess
"I didn't know the bell did this."
"But, my lady," said he.
"This is an opportunity."
And she did not seem to think him remiss.

"What is your trade?" the princess inquired.
The man proudly said, "I aspired
To make jewelry fine,
For royalty line."
In shock, the princess nearly expired!

When the princess regained her concentration,
She rose to make this declaration:
"Create a ring
To fool a king
Of highest discrimination!"

The man declared, "It shall be done."
But before he had even begun,
The dragon arrived with a smirk
Having left his mines and work,
And gave the princess the scroll she had won.

"But what of the ring?" the princess ranted,
"My copy will fool, but is not enchanted."
"The ring you will find
With the right state of mind,"
Said the dragon, "and with the map slanted."

She returned to Alzeming square,
And met with city leader's there.
They fell for her scheme
And crowned her as queen.
Then she bought apples, a peach, and a pear.

Well, the jewler was somewhat perturbed
For he wanted the ruler he served
Who, holding the ring
Would do the right thing
And not lie to be further promoted.

He confronted the princess at dawn,
She offered to make him a pawn.
He swore he would not,
So to get rid of this clot,
She gave him the scroll with a yawn.

For truly the princess had tried
To make sense of the scroll she descried:
With first a right-tilt,
Then left at full-hilt,
Still no sign of the true ring was espied.

The young jeweler, although berated,
Pursued the venture the princess now hated.
He journeyed the land,
With scroll in hand,
Happily not incarcerated.

Because Jake the Jeweler was humble,
No arrogance caused him to stumble.
As he casually turned
The scroll, he learned
The ring's location without grumble!

He made way towards the Paradise Spring,
For the map indicated it held the ring.
First he thought it just right
To spend a journey's night,
With the dragon in the mines of Alzeming.
