Once upon a time there lived a wise king who wanted to marry off his favorite daughter. He wondered how he could find the right person. The king had an idea. He decided to hold a competition to decide which gentleman would win this great honor. The king announced that anyone who wanted to marry the princess must report to the palace. To win his daughter, a man must fill up a whole room with a light thing very quickly.
The first brave competitor arrived at the palace. His name was Peter. He brought bags full of feathers. With great confidence, he started to fill the large room with feathers, but time ran out and he failed.
The next day, another young man whose name was Bob tried to quickly fill the room, this time with beautiful silk. Time ran out again, and he left the palace disappointed.
