"Well then King Adrian Biarma, do you wish try and tackle my three tasks?"

Even if there is a chance I could die have to try, to find my wife, and for my children.

"Yes I'll pass your tasks."

"Confident are we," Kuumou replied, "very well, you're first task is, to make me laugh!"

". . . What?"

"Make me laugh, tell me a joke, do something that I will find amusing."

This spider is making fun of me, I should have expected this.

". . . alright may I have a few moments to collect my thoughts."

"Very well, take three minutes to collect yourself, however no longer than that. I am impatient and I may eat you, if I am bored."

"Um what point what that have, you'd be bored again after?" I replied.

"I suppose so but three minutes nonetheless."

I stood there thinking, and thinking of a good joke that could make this spider laugh, however nothing came to mind.

"Hmm having trouble? You be only got 20 seconds left now."

Oh.

I've got one.

However.

It's really bad.

Very bad.

"Times up, King Adrian, can you make me laugh?"
