A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn.Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and......"
"Stop," shouted the Prince. "I can’t," answered the young man. "I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn." "But that will go on forever." The Prince protested. "Exactly," the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.
In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build( ).
