Hundreds of sheep to be carried over stream one at a time, endless quacking of geese, etc. The wording of the tale so arranged as to continue indefinitely.
“This old story has been told down for several generations.”
“There was once a king who was very fond of stories. He said he would give his daughte in marriage to whomever would tell him a story that would last forever.”
“There was once a rich man and he had a daughter and he said he would give his daughter to any man who would tell him a story that would last for ever.”
