The King at the Door by Brock Cole

Little Baggit insists the king is at the door of a tavern requesting a drink, meal, hat, horse etc.  The inn keeper scoffs at the boy.  When the inn keeper gives Little Baggit items for the "old man" outside, he shares things that are not fit for a dog!  Little Baggit unselfishly gives the "old man" his own possessions.  Imagine the inn keeper's surprise when the next morning the king picks up the boy and permits him to live in the palace!
Strategy: predicting
Warning: The setting is a tavern.  Throughout the story is a very apparent drunk man (his face is green and is obviously tipsy!).
