The King (Humpty Dumpty)

The King is the ruler of the land and father of the princess in the Mother Goose Stories episode "Humpty Dumpty". He has a passion for riddles and passes a law stating that anyone who can create a riddle that he cannot answer will earn his daughter's hand in marriage. 
Once day, while out riding in his royal carriage, the king is asked a riddle by a young prince standing by the castle wall. The riddle goes as follows:
::Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. 
::Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. 
::All the king's horses and all the king's men 
::Couldn't put Humpty together again. 
::What was Humpty Dumpty? 
The king concludes that there was no answer to such a riddle, but the prince explains that Humpty Dumpty was an egg. The king is impressed by the clever riddle and grants the prince his daughter's hand in marriage.
