Once upon a time there was a king. This king declares all over his country: \u201cAnyone who tells such a lie that I say it is a lie, I will give them half of my kingdom.\u201d
There comes a shepherd and says: \u201cYour majesty, my father had a cane and he could reach the stars in the sky with it.\u201d
\u201cThere may be such a thing\u201d, answers the king, \u201cMy grandfather had a pipe so long that he put one end in his mouth and lit it with the sun.\u201d
The liar goes out puzzled.
There comes a tailor and says: \u201cI am sorry for being late, my king, I was to come earlier. It rained a lot yesterday, lightning struck, the sky was ripped up, I had to go and mend it.\u201d
\u201cWell, good of you\u201d, says the king, \u201cBut you didn\u2019t mend it well. It rained a little this morning.\u201d
This one goes out too.
There comes in a poor peasant with a pan under his arm.
\u201cWhat do you want, man?\u201d, asks the king.
\u201cYou owe me a pan full of gold, I have come for it\u201d
\u201cA pan full of gold?\u201d, the king gets surprised, \u201cYou are telling a lie. I don\u2019t owe you any gold.\u201d
\u201cIf I am telling a lie, then give me half of your kingdom\u201d
\u201cNo, no, you are telling the truth\u201d, the king changes his word.
\u201cIf I am telling the truth, give me a pan full of gold\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
