They couldn't take away his throne

A child, walking to the store each morning to buy bubblegum, would often see another walking the other way.
"Where are you going?" asked the first.
"I'm going where ever the dice may fall" the other responded.
This reply stopped the first child, who immediatly went back to his father for help "Tommorow morning, when you see him ask the same question. When he gives the same answer, then you ask him: "Suppose you have no dice, then where are you going?" That'll fix him"
The children met again the next morning.
"Where are you going?" asked the first
"I'm going wherever the wind blows," answered the other.
This reply stopped the youngster, who hurried back to his father.
"Ask him tommorow where he's going if there is no wind. That'll fix him"
The next day the children met a third time.
"Where are you going?" asked the first child.
The other replied "I'm going to the store to buy bubble gum."
