Es war einmal ein König

Once upon a time there was a king (Jan Werich) who had three daughters, and did not know to whom he should leave the throne. So he asked them how much he meant to them. The vain Diamanta replied that he was as valuable as gold, and the singing melody said like gold in the throat. Maruska, however, said that it meant as much to her as salt, which is so important for life. When the king heard this, he was very angry at this comparison, since salt was so little precious. He chased his daughter out of the castle and had the salt destroyed throughout the kingdom.
