Summary

A story about a prince who put three questions to a priest. The prince thought that there was nobody as knowledgeable as he was. There was a priest in the district who had a brother who looked very similar to himself. The prince said to the priest that, on a particular day, he was going to ask him three questions which he had to answer correctly. The priest's brother, who was known as 'The Fool', noticed that something was troubling his brother. When he was told the reason, he decided to take his brother's place, and go and answer the three questions.
