The King's Daughter. (Solve the Mystery).
Once
upon a time there was an old king who had a beautiful daughter.
The
king used to spend a lot of money fighting against a neighbour enemy and, this
way, he soon got ruined.
An
old ugly and very rich banker proposed the king a solution for his problems:
'I'll lend you all the money you need and your daughter will become my wife'.
The
daughter refused but her father begged her. In the end, the princess accepted
but with one condition: 'We'll go by the river and we'll take three small
stones, two of them black and the other white. We'll put them inside a leather
bag and, if I am able to pick the white pebble without looking, I'll be free'.
The
old ugly banker accepted the condition but when he was going to take the small
stones, all the pebbles he took were black. He put them in the bag and said
nothing.
The
princess noticed the trick. She continued with the proposition, however.
Did
she have to marry the old ugly banker?
If
not, how did she manage to avoid the wedding?
