A King and his Daughter
Once upon a time there lived a king. The king had a beautiful
daughter.But there was a problem. Everything the girl touched, would
melt. No matter what, metal, wood, plastic, etc. Everything she touched
would melt! Because of this, men were afraid of her and nobody would
dare to marry her. One day a wizard told the king, "If your daughter
touches ONE thing that would not melt in her hands, her symptom will be
cured." The king was overjoyed. The next day, he held a competition,
any man that can bring his daughter an object that would not melt,
gets to marry her and inherit the king's wealth. The first prince
brought a huge diamond, thinking that diamond is the hardest thing
known to man and will not melt. But alas, once the princess touched
it, it melted! The prince went away sadly. The second prince brought
the hardest alloy he could find, but the same thing happened...so he
too went away. The third prince told the princess, "Put your hand in
my pocket and feel it." The princess did as told, though turning red.
It did not melt!!! The king was overjoyed!!! And, the third prince
lived happily with the princess ever after... But, what was the
object? (Scroll down for the answer)
M&Ms chocolate candies, of course. They melt in your mouth but not in
your hands! (What were YOU thinking?)
