- Once Upon a time there lived a king who had but one daughter. She being fairly old was going to get married. The King promised that any man that would come and tell him anything that he did not believe, he would give him his daughter to wed.
One day a man came to the king and told him that he saved a seed and out of the seed there grew a tall tree and on the top of the tree a dog and he said: "I hit the dog three kicks and every time knocked a king out of him, and every one of the kings was better than you. "You are a liar" said the King and he would not believe the man. So the King could not break his promise and the man got the Kings daughter to wed.
