A mother once told the following story to amuse her child.

In a city which never existed , there lived three princes, two of whom were never born and the third never entered the womb of any mother . They once went out and took their bath in three rivers, two of which were already dried up and the third never had any water at all . There they stayed in three houses, two of which never existed and the third was not yet built.Then they invited three guest , two of whom had no mouth and the third no stomach.
