The Story of King Henery
Once Upon a Time…
in a faraway land named Metric Kingdom, there lived a king who
loved chocolate milk.
His name was King Henry.
Throughout his kingdom, King Henry made sure that all of the cows were fed great supplies of chocolate to continue to provide him with his beloved chocolate milk drink.
King Henry drank chocolate milk with his breakfast.
He drank chocolate milk with his lunch.
He drank chocolate milk with his dinner.
He even drank chocolate milk for his bedtime snack.
King Henry drank chocolate milk by the liters!
King Henry was so obsessed with his chocolate milk that he wrote a decree making it illegal for anyone to drink chocolate milk, except for himself.
King Henry’s wife was concerned about the amount of chocolate milk he was drinking. She called the doctor to check him out.
After visiting the King, the doctor revealed something miraculous: the King was the healthiest he’d ever been!
The chocolate milk had made the King
stronger
taller
faster
and handsomer!
After hearing the news, the King drank more chocolate milk than ever. He drank, and drank, and drank his chocolate milk, until one day he overdosed on chocolate milk! His body just couldn’t process all of the chocolate!
Sadly,
King Henry Died Unexpectedly Drinking Chocolate Milk
The Gift King Henery Left for his people of Metric Kingdom:
King Henry may have died a long time ago, but his Metric Kingdom remembers him every year when students learn math.
His RIP statement helps us remember the prefixes for metric measurement and how to order the units from greatest to smallest.
Kilo Hecto Deka UNIT Deci Centi Milli
When converting metric units from one unit to another, you can use this simple phrase to keep you from making any mistakes.
The End!
