So the blindfolded man followed the prince along with the four other servants. They climbed over a hill and saw what appeared to be a head on top of the mountain. The head was gazing far away into the distance and didn’t notice the six people. After the prince walked over to the other side of the mountain, the head turned out to be attached to a very long, slender neck. Then a normal sized body beneath the neck.
“ My, how long his neck is!’’ exclaimed the prince to his five servants.
“ Excuse me sir!’’ shouted the prince. (He had to shout for the head was so far up) ‘’Why is your neck so long?’’

The man gazing over the mountain turned around and looked down at them.
“Why, because I have such good vision of course!” The man sat down so that they could see him clearer. This was, indeed no help at all for the head of the man still appeared to be a small speck up in the sky.

“I can see everything and anything I wish to see. I have such keen eyes that I can see over forests miles away, any town, village anywhere on the planet. Even to the end of the world! This long neck is my aid to seeing far because then I can look over high objects that are in my way.’’

“Come with me and be my servant, it would not do at all to pass by such a marvelous gift.’’
