    King John and The Abott

    Uploaded by

    sourav.ssgg
    King John had heard that the Abbot of Canterbury lived a lavish lifestyle. He asked the Abbot three foolish questions to trick him: how long he would live, how soon he could ride around the world, and what he thought. Unable to answer, the Abbot sought help from universities. Eventually, the Abbot's poor shepherd correctly answered the questions, saying the King would live until he died, must rise and ride with the sun, and that he was just a shepherd, not the Abbot.
