How Not to Win an Election

Once upon a time there was a politician who was so hungry for success that he bought a circus solely because he could then be raised by the show’s levitator, which he figured was an excellent way of going up in the world and thereby getting a lot of attention and glory and votes.

He made his purchase after he saw the levitator, Henry Littlefinger, raise his wife, Sweetbread, a number of times. After each levitation, everybody cheered and crowded around the pair and asked them how they did it.
