today the duke came up with another idea for me to stay on the raft.  He decorated me up in a costume and put some makeup on me and made a sign for me that says Sick Arab- harmless when not out of his mind  i think it will work well.  They also got a idea to steal the inheritance of two brothers in a little town.  they are going to pose as the brothers and try to take the money, these guys are getting worse by the day i mean seriously why would a king and a duke need money?  Something smells fishy and i know it ain't that catfish I ate last night.
