authority. He is short, chubby and always
full of ailments. He is wasteful and is
always in debt and yet never gives up
grandeur.

-
He is the multi-faceted
national genius. An architect and pyramid
builder, he ventures into almost every
branch of human endeavor. His inventions,

always end up in disaster. He has an
assistant who is more clever than he.

has a cutting jibe ready.
