Jester: One ...if it is long enough! Which
is it easier to spell, ducks or geese?
3rd Prince: Ducks I suppose because it's shorter.
Jester: Not at all but geese. Do you know
why? Because it is spelled with ees. Tell me
now, can you spell pup backwards?
4th Prince: P-u-p....
Jester: Not at all.
4th Prince: But it is.
Jester: No, that is pup straight forwards....
Can you run back and forwards at the same time?
4th Prince: Answer it yourself so.
Jester: You would be as wise as myself then.
But I'll show you some tricks. Look at these
three straws on my hand. Will I be able to blow
two of them away, and the other to stay in its place?
5th Prince: They would all blow away.
