Yeah, that's right, we're remixing this classic with a heaping helping of fuck off to assholery.

So anyway, the kid hops over to the cage and opens it up, and the nightingale flies out like a sensible bird would. But rather than going straight for the window, it flutters up and lands on top of the cage, and when it opens its beak it sings the most beautiful song that the kid has ever heard, and all of a sudden the pain in his leg starts to disappear, and when he looks down he realizes it's healing itself right there before his very eyes.

But that's not the only thing that's healing, because the king's still there too, and so the wound on his head is starting to seal up, and the kid knows he'll be conscious again in less than a minute.

So the nightingale falls silent, and the kid and the bird look at each other, and then they both look at the king, and finally the kid says, "Take me with you."

So the bird starts to sing again, and this time the song is wild and free and soaring, and by the time it's done the kid has changed into a nightingale, himself.

And so just as the king starts to wake up, the two nightingales take off and soar out the window, just in time for him to see them going.

They never come back, and they live happily ever after, and every day for the rest of his days the king went up to his son's old room and screamed out the window for the nightingale to give him his son back.

And nothing happens. The end.
