Sick Father

Ugarte created this little poem about the ailing King Graham in King’s Quest 4.

KING’S QUEST 4’S
“SICK FATHER”
BY UGARTE

The family of Daventry
Were in their castle
On a beautiful day
That they would love.

But Graham felt pain
Pain from his heart
The family tried to help
But he fell unconscious.

What to do, they thought.
Then a fairy came
Who knew what to do
To bring Graham back.

“There’s a fruit,” said she
“That will heal him”
“But it’s far away”
“In a distant land.”

Rosella hoped to get it
Because that really seemed
Like the only way
To bring back her father.

I’ll get it and come back,
She thought bravely.
I don’t want to see my father
To die unexpectedly.
