An old farmer who had brought to town a pregnant cow to sell, found no barn to put the animal in, so an animal keeper told him he could put it under a shed at the inn and later it to a young farmer’s cart. Lo and behold, the cow gave birth to a calf that night. In the morning, the proud owner of the cow was preparing to lead the animal away when out rushed the owner of the cart, shouting, “The calf is mine”. “What do you mean it is yours? Didn’t my cow give birth last night? The cow was tied to the cart. The cart was mine, so the calf belongs to the owner of the cart.”
A heated quarrel arose and in no time they were fighting. A large crowd gathered around them and then the constables ran up and marched them to the king’s court of justice. It was once the custom of the royal city for the king’s wife also to express her opinion. But it, so happened of late that every time the king gave a judgement the queen somehow opposed it. .Weary of that, the king said to her, “ Do not meddle in state business. Stay out of the court of justice, “ And so it was.
The farmers therefore, appeared before the king alone. After hearing both sides, the king rendered his decision. “The calf goes with cart”. The owner of the cow found the decision too unjust for works, but what could he do? The king’s judgement was final. Seeing the farmer so upset, the innkeeper advised him to go to the queen, who might find a way out. The farmer went to the palace and asked the servant “Could you tell me my good man if I might have a word with the queen!” “That is impossible” replied the servant, “since the king has forbidden her to hear peoples’ cases!” The farmer then went up the garden wall. Spying the queen, he somehow jumped over the wall and burst into tears as he told her just how unjust her husband had been to him. The queen said, ‘My advice is this. The king is going hunting tomorrow in the vicinity of the lake that is always bone dry at this time of the year. One the following hang a fish-dipper on your belt, take a net and go through the motions of fishing.
At the sight of someone fishing in a dry lake, the king will laugh and then ask why you’re fishing where there is not water. You must answer, “Majesty, if a cart can give birth to a calf, maybe I can catch fish in a dry lake.”
The next morning the farmer went off to the dry lake, sat down at the stone, raised his net and everything unfolded as the queen had said. Everything went as per the plan. When the king saw him fishing in a dry lake; he asked why he was doing so. The farmer gave the reply as suggested by the queen. At that reply the king exclaimed, “ My good man you have been talking to the queen!”
The farmer did not deny it and the king awarded him the cart there and then. But the king was angry that is wife had disobeyed him and said, ,”You have been meddling again and I forbade it. Go back to your father and take the thing you like most of all in the palace. “ Humbly the queen said that she would go, but asked to be allowed to leave the next day. She then had the cooks prepare the king’s favorite foods.
The king ate and ate and fell asleep in his armchair. The queen said to the servants. “Pickup the armchair with its contents and follow me.” She left the palace and the city and returned home. When the king awoke the next day he as angry at first finding himself in the queen’s house, but then laughed when the queen said, “Didn’t you tell me Your Majesty to return home with the thing I liked best of all?” From that day on, the king never appeared in the court of justice without his wife.
