"she told me that i ought not to take the mortar to you, for i should have to produce the pestle as well." "if you have a daughter who is as wise as that, let her come here." she was therefore obliged to appear before the king, who asked her if she really was so wise, and said he would set her a riddle, and if she could guess that, he would marry her. she at once said yes, she would guess it. then said the king, "come to me not clothed, not naked, not riding, not walking, not in the road, and not out of the road, and if thou canst do that i will marry thee." so she went away, put off everything she had on, and then she was not clothed, and took a great fishing net, and seated herself in it and wrapped it entirely round and round her, so that she was not naked, and she hired an ass, and tied the fisherman’s net to its tail, so that it was forced to drag her along, and that was neither riding nor walking. the ass had also to drag her in the ruts, so that she only touched the ground with her great toe, and that was neither being in the road nor out of the road. and when she arrived in that fashion, the king said she had guessed the riddle and fulfilled all the conditions.
