There is a very foolish bald king, who is very ugly. When he gets angry, his teeth grow long. His funnier ministers are particularly amusing. One of them is a wolf named “—”, note that it is not an em dash but a symbol for "shut up for a moment." Thus, there is often a scene where someone shuts up and doesn’t speak, and the minister asks, "What did you call me?" The person feels wronged: "I didn’t call you," "Then when you were silent just now, you were calling my name. Don’t you know my name is —?"
What about the ending? The bald king gets too angry, his teeth grow wildly, and he ends up being lifted into the sky by his own teeth. So everyone uses fans to fan him away, and he gets blown away.
