The King stood up, smiling. "To a father, there is nothing higher in the world than his daughter. Therefore, the mudskipper jumped the highest. I must proclaim him the winner of the Leaping Match! The mudskipper has shown great understanding and cleverness. He is nine times smarter than the other two. His real legs are up here," said the King, pointing to his brain. "Therefore he shall wed my daughter this February 14." The crowd cheered. |
