The Clever Farmer's Daughter
· A farmer asks for some land from the king, and when he starts plowing, he finds a tiny golden mortar.
· Against his clever daughter's advice, he brings it to the king, who demands the matching pestle, and imprisons the farmer when he cannot produce it.
· The farmer is overheard lamenting about his daughter's advice, so the king asks to see his daughter if she's really so clever.
· To figure that out, he sets her a challenge: come not dressed but not naked, not on horse but not by carriage, not on the road and not off the round.
· Got it? Great. Here's what she does: she wears a fishnet, half-rides a donkey, and lets only her toes touch the ground so she's not either on or off the road.
· Apparently, she's looking pretty sexy since the king marries her on the spot. However, he makes her promise never to interfere in his affairs.
· She gives another farmer advice on how to solve a legal quandary, and when the king suspects his wife's involvement, he tells her to leave.
· But she gets one last request: to take with her the dearest thing she can think of.
· So she drugs the king and drags him along. Ha. Of course her clever choice convinces him that she's a keeper, so they go back to the castle together.
