At a time when King Matthias was still alive and walked the earth,he reaches a home. Well there was ... was not exactly an old man, nor young, Matthias asks:
- Well, are there just two of you?
- Well - he says - my sons left me here.
- Well - he says – where are the sons? - He had three sons.
He says:
-One is a free robber, other is a free murderer and the other is a free beggar.
So the King Matthias doubted what they are, he was not able to figure it out.
Of course, the father knew what were his sons. However all three were gentlemen.
Free killer, that was the doctor. – he is allowed to murder anyone. Free robber, it was the lawyer – he is free to rob people. Free beggar, he was the friend – well, he can beg.
So King Matthias patted his shoulders:
- A brave man, who brought up these children.
