The Insurrection of Okada

Okada slept like a drugged man when soldiers came for him in the pre dawn. Metsuo had left okata for only one reason: he hoped that the soldiers would mistake him for the prime minister and deal with him alone. He survived to attend his own funeral, which was staged in the belief that masuo's body was truly that of the prime minister. So like in mark twain's novel, tom sawyer, prime minister ocata got to attend hisown funeral.
