All of a sudden, the king was attacked by a band of enemies. He had to flee from them until he came to a fast flowing river which he was unable to swim across because of his daughter on his back. It seemed he was lost until he thought of a way out.
Tying his daughter to his javelin, he hurled it with all his strength to the other side of the river; then he dived in himself and swam across to where Camille was. His enemies were so amazed that they gave up the chase.
Moral : A skilled man often finds a way to escape.
