Summary
Good King James revoked a law he had made against pedlars going about together after two pedlars saved his life.
One day Good King James met a pedlar and got into a fight with him. The King was winning until another pedlar joined in and the King was beaten. The King then made a law prohibiting pedlars from going about together. Some time later the King was out fishing and his boat capsized. A pedlar went to help the King, but got into difficulties himself and had to call on another pedlar for assistance. The two pedlars managed to rescue the King. The King then revoked the law that he had made about pedlars going about in twos.
