And , what was more , he had ! -LSB- Illustration : page 12 -RSB- As time went on , Prince Prigio had two younger brothers , whom everybody liked : They were not a bit clever , but jolly . Prince Alphonso , the third son , was round , fat , good-humoured , and as brave as a lion . Prince Enrico , the second , was tall , thin , and a `` little sad , but never too clever . '' Both were in love with two of their own cousins -LRB- with the approval of their dear parents -RRB- ; and all the world said , `` What nice , unaffected princes they are ! '' But Prigio nearly got the country into several wars by being too clever for the foreign ambassadors .

When he was in the counting-house , counting out his money , and when he happened to say , `` Sixteen shillings and fourteen and twopence are three pounds , fifteen , '' it made him wild to hear Prigio whisper , `` One pound , ten and twopence , '' -- which , of course , it is . And the king was afraid that Prigio would conspire , and get made king himself -- which was the last thing Prigio really wanted .

How was he to get Prigio out of the way , and make Enrico or Alphonso his successor ? He read in books about it ; and all the books showed that , if a king sent his three sons to do anything , it was always the youngest who did it , and got the crown . And he wished he had the chance . Well , it arrived at last . -LSB- Illustration : Page 15 -RSB- There was a very hot summer !
