"If you can jump over my. mighty panjar," said the King, throwing out his chest and looking very fierce, "then I will give you half of the kingdom."
And the eldest brother replied "Agreed And if I cannot, then you may kill me, or I can work here as your slave."

Then there was great excitement, with all the citizens and many visitors coming together to see the performance. But easily the boy jumped over the panjar and the King, true to his promise, divided the kingdom equally between them.

A few weeks later, the other two brothers were walking around in a different village, and they saw there preparations being made for the cremation of the old King. He had been a very popular King and they were building an enormous black bull to hold the body. The biggest black bull ever seen.

While all the people were busy working, the second brother said in a loud voice: "Come, let us not waste time here. This must be some very small cremation. Just look at the miserable little bull, will you Did you ever see such a small one And no wonder - look at the blunt knife they are using."

Now, the head of the workers heard this, and he strode up to the second brother, shook his knife in his face, and demanded angrily: "What You say this is a blunt knife"

Totok Telak threw back his head and laughed long and loudly: "Yes, indeed. So blunt it wouldn't even cut my penis."
"You've got to be kidding," shouted the head man."Not so," retorted Toktok, "I can prove what I say."
By now there was a dreadful commotion and the new King came out and asked crossly:
"What is happening Perhaps you are having a cockfight"
The head of the workers stepped forward and answered:
"Sire, this is a very untruthful boy, who says my sharpest knife won't even cut his penis."

The new King looked hard at the second brother and said: "Of course you are exaggerating, but, if you can prove it is true, I will give you whatever you want, or you can have half my kingdom."
O.K. let's try," said Toktok. "If you can cut my penis with hen I will be your slave, or maybe you can kill me."
All the citizens gathered round and the woodcarver and his assistants tried hard to cut the penis, but none was successful.
So -the second brother won half a kingdom.
Shortly after this the youngest brother went to another kingdom and again saw they were preparing to cremate a king. This time they were building a tower - a tower so tall it blotted out the sun.
And the third brother stood in front of the tower and cried out:
What a disgrace that a mighty King should only have such a humble little tower. This is not good."

And the people gathered round him and began to argue. When the new King heard all the noise, he took up his gold kris and strode into the street.
"What's all this fuss about he demanded.
"This boy says this is a very small tower," the people shouted.
"So it is," retorted the third brother. "So small, I can cover it all up with my testes."
"Oh," snorted the King. "That is not true, stupid boy."
"It is true. I can do it," insisted the third brother.
"Very well," said the King haughtily. "If you can, you shall marry my daughter - and you can have all my kingdom as well."

By now the excitement had reached fever pitch, as all the people craned this way and that to see what would happen. But the third brother calmly stood in front of the tower and stretched the skin of his testes until the whole tower was completely hidden.
And so he became the son-in-law of the King - a very important man indeed.
