“A hunting Prince of France often took a meal of radishes and water with a peasant at the latter's humble home in the forest. When the Prince became King the peasant went to him and presented a fine radish, for which he was given a thousand ducats. A courtier, noting how presents were received, presented a horse, for which he received the radish, that, as the King said, cost 1,000 ducats.”
