A failure in his efforts to learn something different with which to entertain the king, a boy is guided by an old lady in making a magic whistle that summons one hundred ninety nine marching rabbits. |
“"Blow it again," the old woman said. He blew, and the rabbits lined up like soldiers. There were twenty rows of them, ten in each row but the last. In the last row there were only nine. "Tch-tch!" the old woman said. "How annoying. A hundred and ninety-nine rabbits. They don't come out even. I'm sorry."”
