King's Contest
-
A king offered half his kingdom or a 1000 kilos of gold or his daughter's hand in marriage if any brave man could cross a river full of poisonous snakes and crocodiles. No one voluntered but one young man jumped in to the river and crossed it without any difficulty. The king asked: "What do you want brave man, half of my kingdom?" The man said: "No your majesty" King: "Then the 1000 kilos of gold?" Man: "No your majesty" King: "Then my daughter's hand in marriage?" Man: "No your majesty" King: "Then what is it that you want?" Man: "The name of the person who pushed me in the river".
