Once upon a time, there was a king who had one only daughter. The king said, ” Any man who can give me a story without an end can marry the princess.” Many tried but did not succeed. There was one last man who came in after everyone else was done. He was introduced to the king, and right away started into his story. He told the king: “One man had some corn. Some locusts gathered around this corn, and one locust came and took a grain. Another locust came and took a grain of corn. Then another locust came and took a grain of corn. Then another locust came and took a grain of corn.” Soon the king grew tired. “I am sleepy. You can go and come back another time.”
The man did so. And when he returned the following day, he started in: ” And then another locust came and took a grain of corn. Another locust came and took a grain of corn. And then another locust came and took a grain of corn. And another locust came and took another grain of corn.”
The king grew tired and he said to the man, “Your story has no end.
Take the princess and marry her.’
A story has no end
