Theking desiring to knowhow he claimed kindred to him, the poorfellow replied,We are alldescended from one common fatherand motherviz., Adam and Eve. Uponwhich the kinggave him a little copper piece of money. The poor manbeganto bemoan himself, saying,Is it possible that your Majestyshouldgive no more than this to your brother?Away,away,replies the king;ifall the brothers you have in theworld give you as much as I have done,you'll be richer than Iam.
