Excerpt from The World's Wit and Humor: An Encyclopedia of the Classic Wit and Humor of All Ages and Nations Eulenspiegel came to the court of the King of Denmark, who liked him well, and said that if he would make him some diversion, then might be have the best of shoes for his horse's hoofs. Eulenspiegel asked the king if he was minded to keep his word well and truly, and the king did answer most solemnly, Yes. Now did Eulenspiegel ride his horse to a goldsmith, by whom he suffered to be beaten upon the horse's hoofs shoes of gold with silver nails. This done, Eulenspiegel went to the king, that the king might send his treasurer to pay for the shoeing. The treasurer believed he Should pay a black smith, but Eulenspiegel conducted him to the goldsmith, who did require and demand one hundred Danish marks. This would the treasurer not pay, but went and told his master. Therefore the king caused Eulenspiegel to be summoned into his presence, and spoke to him: Eulenspiegel, why did you have such costly shoes? Were I to shoe all my horses thus, soon would I be without land or any possessions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
