The Riddle

Musical

There is a riddle that a young King came up with in order to marry a very clever Princess. If a man can come up with a riddle that the Princess cannot guess, then he will have her hand in marriage. However, if she guesses the answer within three days, the man will have his had cut off. The riddle goes as such, “What is one that slew none, but yet slew twelve.” Now, the answer to this riddle was something the Princess could not discover so she tried trickery. However, in the end her cheating ways were found out and she ended up having to marry the young King.

A raven that ate a dead poisoned horse, which was then eaten by twelve murders died from eating it.
