A king wanted to end a war that had been going on. So he set forth a call his kingdom to create a weapon that would melt away anything it touches. The king hated liars, so anyone he caught lying, he would hang him/her. He was a smart king and had really good logical sense.
A jester comes into the king's court one day and says, "I have the answer. I have a magic potion that meets your needs." He pulled out a dark, opaque vial that had smoke fuming out of it.
The king looked at him and said, "Have this jester hanged, he is lying."
