Once day, while out ridding in his royal carriage, the king was asked a riddle by a young prince standing by the castle wall. The riddle went:
 * Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
 * Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
 * All the king's horses and all the king's men
 * Couldn't put Humpty together again.
 * What was Humpty Dumpty?

The king concluded that there was no answer to such a riddle, but the prince explained that Humpty Dumpty was an egg. The king was impressed by the clever riddle and granted the prince his daughter's hand in marriage.
