The fairytale about dictionaries

Once upon the time there were two friends Oxford and Longman. Their friendship was strong.  They were like brothers but one day they fell in love with the same girl Queen Lexicology. That day changed all. They were boasting who are cooler. Who has the biggest amount of words, who are more handsome and better-built.

One day Oxford said to Longman:

“Hey you, stop yelling and irritated me. She’s mine. I saw her first. I’m better than you. She is so defenseless and I would protect her. We will be the best couple ever. Just imagine how pretty would be our children. Yours would be nowhere near as smart as ours.”

Longman answered:

“Hah, are you kidding me? I know you during all your life. Both of us knows who are better. Of course me. LOL. I can’t imagine you together it will be ridiculous. She is so beautiful and you are just average man. She will be mine, understand?”

Oxford gave an assurance:

 “Never. You are mistaken. I’m sure she choose me.”

Longman emotionally said:

“Just ask her. You proposed it. We’ll see. ”

Than men went to the Queen to know her opinion. She ask them to do her a favor.

The Queen said:

“I will give you several tasks also riddle is included.”

 Then she gave them a description.

“You must find followers and then you will be devoid of two groups.”

Men nervously licked their lips. Then they found participants to each team. They was originated from different lands but they was reputable and could easily be recognized by anybody. So teams were chosen excellently they could immune to any difficulties.

Teams did all the tasks and Longman team won. When Oxford and Longman came to the Queen she started laughing:

“I’m Queen Lexicology and who are you? Nobody. I’ll be with anyone despite my King.”
They answered:

“But we thought you are single”

She made a confession:

“Hah, it’s lie. I adore watching how old friends are fighting because of me. Your task was pointless.”

So due to this circumstances friends apologized and made piece. This adventure was eventful and worthwhile. They understood that friendship are stronger than love. The remembered their mistake for a long time.
