Awajis Vs Ekens at the Kings Palace

Awajis  is at it again... Awajis and Ekens were caught in the Northern part of the Country, sharing a smuggled barrel of beer. They were arrested and taken to the King's palace for questioning and judgment. Awajis lied that Ekens smuggled and forced him to drink the beer! Both were initially given a death sentence but, as it was a national holiday, the King decided they should be released after some lashes of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the King said, "It's my first wife's birthday today and she asked me to allow each of you two wishes before you are being wiped, but you cannot wish not to be whipped!" Awajis thought for a second then said: "Please tie two pillows to my back before whipping." And my second wish is that you flog me only 20 strokes of the whip. He was whipped, and luckily for him, the pillows helped to make the pain of the whip lesser. Ekens saw this; thought for a second, then said: "Thank you, most royal and merciful highness for the wishes. My first wish is to receive 100 lashes with the strongest, toughest whip available." "If you so desire," Awajis laughed and thought Ekens was a fool... The King replied with a puzzled look on his face..., " and your second wish?"Ekens replies: "Tie Awajis to my back...."Awajis fainted.
