Three Princes

In ancient times in a far off land, three princes declared that they wanted to marry the king’s beautiful daughter.

But as a test to prove their worth, they first had to perform three difficult tasks: vanquish a giant, turn lead to gold and have make love with a sheep.

The first suitor was slain by the giant, the second failed to turn lead into gold, but the third successfully completed all three tasks.

“Congratulations,” the king said to him.
