Best Ball of all

This is the story of the Kingdom of Marmikel, the people who lived there, their king, and a very special contest. Now long ago, living in Marmikel wasn't very much different than living the way we do today, except of course, that it wasn't Modern. In other words, there were no radios, no bowling alleys, no movie theatres, no shopping malls, no TV, no cell phones, no MP3 players, no Twitter and no Facebook! So instead, the people of Marmikel gave Balls. They gave Birthday Balls, Monday Balls, Winter Balls, Anniversary Balls, and Fall Balls, just to name a few.
