King and Steward perused the ballad- sheet, their features convulsed with mirth.
“Strange, after so many years of trying to keep my identity hidden, to hear my name on every street corner,” said Aragorn. “More curious still, I do not recall slaying a dragon and rescuing a Haradri princess!”

“Will Men remember us for what we did not do, rather than what we did?” Aragorn mused.
