here we go tis kinda early compared to normal but what can i say i can keep this one to myself.
Old King Ghorn had forged his kingdom from the war-wracked lands of Arndor not by the strength of his sword but by the sharpness of mind. It was his cleverness that tricked the goblins into leaving; it was trickiness that made the dragon wing to better hunting grounds; it was his wisdom that kept the barons from feuding amongst themselves and the horsemen from attacking. Peace had reigned in Ghornia for 35 years, and the king's sword became rusty as he raised his family. Alas, the old king was on his deathbed before he could sire any sons; his only heir was his daughter Triella. Now Good King Ghorn knew that for peace to continue in Ghornia the next king would have to be as clever, and so he devised the following test for his daughter's suitors. He who could pass it would become king; all others would die. The test was thus: The princess was put in the center of a huge 50 foot by 50 foot carpet. Whomsoever could touch her hand would get the princess, and the throne besides. However, the rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or psionics, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles etc). Furthermore, only normal humans could be applicants (i.e. no deformed guys with 50 foot arms, or shapechangers). Ghornia now stands; it has a king whose wisdom is unsurpassed. How did the king touch Triella's hand? Felix |

I haven't heard this one before but I'll guess that he called to Princess Triella and she walked over to him, thn he touched her hand.

He walked along, rolling the carpet while walking, so he did not walk on any parts of the carpet. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I think..... I have heard this one before, but the way I heard it the princess wasn't able to move. Hmm... [ 07-07-2002, 04:53 PM: Message edited by: Willard ]

Oh. Whoops, must have missed that part. Oh well. Here's another riddle!
| | | | | | | | | | | | | V I am one simple word, but I mean different things One of my meanings brings great forceful swings, The other of me, may have curve, like the first... But only one meaning can help quench a thirst. One of my meanings will often bring cheers, Either of them could hold a few beers.
