From "Dummling and the Three Feathers": Once upon a time there
lived a King who had three sons; the two elder were learned and
bright, but the youngest said very little and appeared somewhat
foolish, so he was always known as Dummling. When the King grew old
and feeble, feeling that he was nearing his end, he wished to leave
the crown to one of his three sons, but could not decide to which.
He thereupon settled that they should travel, and that the one who
could obtain the most splendid carpet should ascend the throne when
he died. So that there could be no disagreement as to the way each
one should go, the King conducted them to the courtyard of the
Palace, and there blew three feathers, by turn, into the air,
telling his sons to follow the course that the three feathers took.
Then one of the feathers flew eastwards, another westwards, but the
third went straight up towards the sky, though it only sped a short
distance before falling to earth.
