Stuck for the Story (2)

He seemed to be unable to get beyond " There was once a king of Ireland  " or " In olden times there was a great king with three sons. "

His wife called the storyteller in to breakfast, but he said he would not come in until he had a story.

" Good morning to you. Who might you be, and what are you doing here ? " asked the storyteller.

" Never mind who I am, " replied the old man.
" I was resting, for my leg is painful. would you play a game of dice with me ? "
