A King had a very beautiful daughter, and was anxious that she should
marry some one who had made himself famous in some particular way.
Three men in the city came forward and begged the King for her hand
in marriage.
"But what can you do?" asked the King.
"I can tell if a thing is lost, where to find it," said the first,
"and produce it if required."
The second said: "I can make such wonderful horses out of wood,
that they can rise to any height and go anywhere."
