Listen to the story being read to you by Eoin Crowley

 

Hello. My name is Jaffa Cake. I am a prisoner in Legoland. I was put to jail because I killed a man called Marco Polo. How I killed him was simple. I just recorded what he did and what he said. And I got to know him.

 

Today I am going to tell you the story about him. I was a slave to the emperor. One day Marco came to visit the emperor. The emperor’s name was Kubla Kahn. When Kubla Kahn died Marco was appointed officer of the war-galley. But when the Venetians were defeated, Marco was taken prisoner. And there I met my loyal friend. He couldn’t write because his hands were broken. So one day he took out a pen and some paper and he said ‘Whatever I say write it down.” and I said OK. He was talking about his journey to Venice and him being an officer of the war galley. Just all my memories of being a slave for the emperor flashed through my mind. So I said to Marco “and you were friends with that monster” so I took the pencil and drove it into his heart. But I got away with it. So that’s the story of Marco Polo. So much for a loyal friend.
