Quotation

He knew that a kingdom full of children would never accept a fraudulent ruler.” The raven could not have been more right. As you know, children (unlike grown-ups) are far too clever to be tricked by imposters—a fact that goes a long way toward explaining their distrust of wicked stepmothers and substitute teachers.
