The Riddle.

There once was a prince who decided to go on a journey with his servant. They came to a small house in a dark forest where a girl warned them that her stepmother was a witch who disliked strangers, but unfortunately there was nowhere else to stay. The prince and his servant reluctantly entered the witch’s house and the girl warned them not to eat or drink anything the witch gave them because it might be poisonous. The next morning, the witch gave the prince’s servant a poisonous drink, telling him to give it to his master, but the servant ended up spilling it on the prince’s horse, killing it. When he told the prince what had happened and they came to the dead horse, a raven was already eating the corpse. Deciding they may not find better food that day, the servant killed the bird and took it with him. Next, they reached an inn and the servant gave the innkeeper the raven to make food of it. Unknown to the prince and his servant, the inn was really a robbers’ den. The robbers returned, and before killing the two travellers, they sat down to eat. Immediately after eating a few bites of the raven soup the innkeeper had made, the robbers fell dead from the poison that the raven had in its body. The innkeeper’s daughter then showed the prince and his servant the robbers’ hidden treasure, but the prince insisted that they keep it. (more…)

Sometimes I get asked a tough question.

Something like, what do you think about this legislation term limit bill?

It’s important for my job, but it’s controversial and better not to say anything.

So, I don’t.
