How'd he expect horses to know how to fix him? Also why'd the king care?It was all a ruse. King wanted an omelette.
But if Humpty Dumpty wasn't put back together properly, his spirit would curse the Earth, bringing about eternal damnation. Every horrible thing to happen since that fateful day, from pandemics to genocides to those times you stub your toe on something and you know it didn't even have that much force behind it but for some reason it hurts more than it seems like it should, has been the fault of the king's horses and king's men not being able to put Humpty together again.What
The most logical explanation is Humpty Dumpty is the king.

The most logical explanation is Humpty Dumpty is the king.Horses is antiquated shorthand for horse-drawn vehicles. It's like sending a firetruck to a fire. Like the firetruck can't stop the fire but it comes with people who can.
