If I were A King by Abenezer
Abenezer’s edited version.
If I were a King for a day, I would ignite a feeling of happiness for others, by providing a haven for the less fortunate. I would enact this by sharing essentials such as food, drinks, money, cleansers …etc. I would also give homeless shelters a ton of money to be invested into the building and supplies that would be purchased for the welfare of the people. As China built a hospital within three days, I WILL build many shelters across my city within 3 hours. I would also hire my professional men to build a hospital within an hour.
If I were a king, I would also adventure the world on my personal mission to find a genie lamp. Once I achieved my goal I would reason with the genie and ask for infinite wishes. Another thing I would ask the genie for would probably be for Gordon Ramsey to be my personal chef, working in my modernized and enchanting gold castle, (as in my opinion Gordon Ramsey is the best chef the world has ever come across
If I were a king
If I were a king, I would make sure that any poor person on the street would have a job even if they were disabled (after all, I would be very rich).
Also, I would buy a genie and ask him for infinite wishes, for example, could I be king forever?
I would ask Gordon Ramsey to be my chef because (in my opinion) he is the best chef in world.
The next thing I would do is give a different charity £500,000 a month.
I would have the powers to fly and would travel around the world (it is my dream too).

Who was Mary Seacole?
Mary Seacole (1805 – 1881) was a Jamaican nurse who became well known in the Victorian period for her nursing efforts during the Crimean War. Though she was much respected by officers whom she treated during the war, after her death, her fame diminished, though in recent years she has become better known.
Mary Seacole, In 1855, with the help of a relative of her husband,
she went to Crimea as a subtler, setting up the British Hotel to sell food,
supplies, and medicines to the troops. She assisted the wounded at the
military hospitals and was a familiar figure at the transfer points for
casualties from the front.
HOW DID MARY SECOLE GAIN FAME?
When the Crimean War broke out, she applied to the War Office to assist within the war but however was refused. She traveled independently and set up her hotel and assisted the battlefield wounded. She became extremely popular among service personnel, who raised money for her when she faced destitution after the war.
