Leaping Match

Everyone for miles around was talking about the Leaping Match, and renting hotel rooms in the kingdom. Soon, the King heard about it. He decreed that the contest would be held that June in the royal courtyard. A contest is always better with a prize, so the King said, "The one who leaps the highest will win my daughter’s hand in marriage." The King loved his daughter, but she was a tired and lazy girl. Perhaps this would wake her up!
