The contest by the King


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 kinddom?"

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".
