| Delivered three boxes -
|
| From a neighboring king
|
| Your observation
|
| And I want to check my mind
|
| I sent you a gift
|
| Three figures of gold
|
| And I want you to choose
|
| The most valuable of them
|
| The king of the figure examined
|
| Look the same
|
| And so, and so he twirled them
|
| But won't see the difference
|
| Without thinking twice called
|
| The king then, all his people
|
| To that the award was announced
|
| Who can tell the difference between them
|
| But solve that riddle
|
| They weren't destined
|
| And admit defeat
|
| The king wanted his own, but
|
| Youth languishing in jail
|
| Figures undertook to inspect
|
| Let me try
|
| See the difference between them
|
| The young man looked at the figures
|
| Explored from all angles
|
| I saw an inconspicuous detail
|
| And he said to the king
|
| Bring me a thread of silver
|
| Tell your subjects
|
| They brought the threads to the figures
|
| And again the youth leaned towards them
|
| The young man stood up
|
| And loudly he said to the king
|
| Why are you hanging your head?
|
| I solved the riddle
|
| There is a hole in the ear
|
| The figure of each
|
| But the mystery here is not
|
| Here the trick is completely different.
|
| I put the first thread in my ear
|
| She got out through her mouth
|
| Likes to talk a lot
|
| So, that courtier people
|
| The second figure has
|
| Thread from the other ear
|
| So it makes no sense, people
|
| So something to say
|
| And the last of the figures
|
| A thread appeared from the stomach
|
| Until death will be a mystery
|
| Such a person to keep ...
