The King sent him, incognito, to the colonies. Before he left, the King cautioned his son on no account to gamble while away. The Prince swore to his father never to accept any kind of wager.
Successful in the colonies, the son ultimately made his way home, passing through a problem province. The Mayor of the province advocated a course of action contrary to the King’s interest and so of course the Prince objected. The Prince and Mayor argued until at last the Prince who could withhold his patience no longer revealed his identity and required obedience from the Mayor. The Mayor challenged his authenticity, wagering one thousand rubles that the young man was not the Prince. One thousand rubles! The Prince remembered his promise to his father but this, after all, was certain. He accepted the bet, showed his birthmark and, of course, collected the thousand rubles.
When the Prince arrived home, he found the King devastated.
“ How could you do it? ”, asked the King. “ You swore to me you wouldn’t take a bet. You swore. ”
