The Kingdom of Sarahland had just installed her youngest King in history, aged 25.The Council of kingmakers and elders asked him to choose his Queen from among the young virgins of the land.
One summer evening, the King summoned all the young and beautiful virgins to his palace. He challenged all of them to a tricky puzzle and promised that whoever answered it would be his Queen. Half of the girls guessed the answer; a small group lied about the answer and a handful of them said the correct answer save a beautiful young girl who said she did not know the answer.
The young king stept forward and sent all those girls who guessed the answer home because he did not like a Queen who guesses. He asked the girls who lied about the answer to leave because he could not love liars. He also drove the group that gave the correct answer away because they knew a lot and he did not like a Queen who knew a lot. Finally, the King asked the young innocent virgin who had no clue what the answer to the puzzle was to step forth.
"You are the most honest from among the young ladies of this noble Kingdom and you know not a lot; therefore I shall make you my Queen," the King concluded.
