A tyrant king rules his people by fear . Fearing an uprising the chief minister tells the king he must do something to placate the people. The king summons the people to the main square and has with him young Will who was sentenced to death by the king for stealing a fish from the royal lake to feed his starving family. 'To show you I'm a just king I have decided to give Will a chance to walk free even though he stole from me. In my hand I have a green olive and a black olive, I'll place them in a bag and if Will picks out the green olive he walks free. If he picks out the black olive he will be shot'. But unknown to the crowd the sly king puts two black olives in the bag. Will sees what the king has done and is resigned to being shot, then he does something and walks free..........What does he do??

he takes an olive from the bag and eats it before anyone can see it. When the other olive is taken out- it is black- so everyone assumes he pulled out and ate the green olive. The king , in order to save face, must release him.

Will pulls out both the black olives, showing to the crowd that the King was cheating. The King was shamed into letting Will go free.

he got a green olive from his pocket and when he scoops at one bag, he still is holding the green olive in his hand. and when he shows the green olive, the people will believe that he chose the green olive. then, he gets the paper bag and walks home..

He says to the crowd that he would like to have the verdict on the basis of the one in the bag and removes one black olive and throws towards the crowd.

Will was actually a Jedi, and he used his mind tricks to make the king release him??
Or does he just happen to have a green olive with him that he uses to cheat?

he asks the king to pick one and says he'll have the other one.
The king picks black and shows everyone. Then he picks the other which is also black. Everyone realises the king is dodgy so they gang up on him and punch his crown into his face.
I know it's not right but it could've worked
