There's a triangular lake, with three kingdoms on each side of the triangle.

The first kingdom is very rich, and the people are content. It has a very competent army, with a squire for every knight, and a total of twenty thousand knights. There is no hunger in the land.

The second kingdom is not as well off, but still makes a case for itself. There are minor issues, but the people are mostly happy. Its army consists of ten thousand knights and five thousand squires.

And the third kingdom. It is a depleted and sad region. There are no crops, and drought is profound. The army consists of only one old knight, and his loyal squire.

The three kingdoms eventually go to war for control of the lake, as it's a valuable resource to have.

*On the night before the battle...*

The first kingdom is confident of victory. They enjoy their dinner without a thought for the coming ordeal. There are rich foods and wine, and the army gets drunk, even the squires.

The second kingdom's army is not as lucky, and they are a bit worried about the battle. They still eat merrily and get drunk on barley beer.

And in the third camp, the old knight lays down for a while. His squire hangs up a noose on an old tree with a high pot and cooks him dinner in the pot. Both of them sleep rather quickly.


The day dawns, and the twenty thousand knights are drunk. They do not move even when the bugle calls. Their squires fight for them instead.

The second army is a mixture of drunk knights and squires.

The third army's only soldier is too tired and doesn't come out of his tent. His squire stands for him with a bow and arrow.

The battle begins, and the incompetent squires are killed, along with the drunk knights. Soon, there are only three squires left - one from the first kingdom, the other from the second and the only squire from the 3rd kingdom.

They start the final duel, and the first squire is impaled by an arrow shot by the squire of the third kingdom. Just as the third squire reloads his bow and releases another arrow, a spear thrown by the second squire strikes him in the throat.

However, his aim is true, and the loose arrow pierces the second squire between the eyes.

And it just goes on to show,

That the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.
