The Ark

Whatever floats your boat...

I describe this huge project of mine, and call for participation!

http://math.boisestate.edu/gas/mikado...




Japan: Nanki-Poo, a minstrel, comes to Titupu to marry Yum-Yum, only to learn from the nobleman Pish-Tush that she is engaged to Ko-Ko, her guardian, who is Lord High Executioner. Pooh-Bah, Lord High Everything Else, is ridiculed by Yum-Yum and her friends Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo. Nanki-Poo confesses to Yum-Yum that he is the son of the Mikado and is trying to escape the attentions of the elderly Katisha. It is agreed that Nanki-Poo can marry Yum-Yum, but he must be beheaded in a month's time. Katisha is furious. Ko-Ko discovers an ancient law which states that if a man is executed, his bride must be buried alive. Ko-Ko, Peep-Bo, and Pitti-Sing conspire and tell him they have beheaded Nanki-Poo.

They must be punished for killing the Mikado's heir. Nanki-Poo refuses to reappear and confirm that he is alive until he is promised that Ko-Ko will marry Katisha! She agrees to do so, believing Nanki-Poo to be dead. Having sorted them all out, Nanki-Poo can now marry Yum-Yum.
