Once, some dignitaries from a far away country came to visit Sir Cumference. Travelling with the dignitaries were their very pregnant wives. The first dignitary's wife placed a skin of a hippopatumus outside her chamber door as a sign of good luck for the pending birth. The second wife placed a zebra hide outside her chamber door. The third wife placed a jaguar hide outside her chamber door. The pending births were known throughout the castle and everyone eagerly awaited the arrivals. When the joyous occassions occurred, an announcement was made at the evening meal. The wife with the jaguar hide had delivered a son! The wife with the zebra hide had delivered a son! And the wife with the hippopatumus delivered TWO sons!! A great cheer went throughout the dining hall. Sir Cumference stood to give a toast and said.....
I welcome these new lives unto our halls with great joy. Their births prove something I have been working on for some time now:
The sons of the hippopatumus equals the sons of the other two hides!!
<Methinks perhaps Sir Cumference enjoyed his mead a bit too much!> :laugh:
