Show Alfonso Enjoys Joke on Himself. Alfonso of Spain has a tremendous appetite; like any boy, he is always hungry. He is far from handsome, but like any boy, again, he does not give a rap about his looks. A few months ago, while motoring near La Granfa, the king's appetite plagued him and he halted at a wayside Inn, where he ate with much relish while cracking Jokes with the landlord and a few peasants who happened to be there, being, unknown to them, of course. A little girl entered to buy wine for her father. "Tell me," said Don Alfonso to the child, "have you seen the king since he has been at La Granfa?" "Only once." answered the girt. "He had on a beautiful uniform, but he Is very ugly." The king laughed and told the story on himself. |
