Question 1

There was a kingdom in which the king had no heir to take over his thrown. Even the queen was dead and he himself was on the verge of dying. He thought about it and then summoned all of the teenagers. He gave one seed each to all of them and asked them to grow the plant. He announced that the one with the most beautiful plant will become the king/queen of the empire after the death of the king.

After a month, all of them were called. The king looked at all of the plants but announced the girl with empty pot as the queen of the empire. Why?

Bonus Question

You're a receiver for the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning throws the ball your way. You're being covered by Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor is running towards you. The crowd cheers as you cross the end zone and you head to disney world to drink beers with Mickey Mouse. What happened?

Good Luck!

Grammatical error? Or something else?

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
