O velkém nosu

The story

Various customs prevail at royal courts. For us mere mortals, it would certainly be incomprehensible and ridiculous to see how important the prince's long nose was for the entire kingdom. That long nose, which was, incidentally, very unattractive, represented the height of nobility, and anyone who did not have one could be ashamed. When Prince Longnose wanted to get married, he took great care in choosing his bride and, above all, made sure that she also had a sufficiently long nose. But then something unpleasant happened to him. What was it, you ask?
