Swothe rd play
In early Japan the Emperor had a beautiful daughter and decided that to get her the most capable husband possible, he would hold a contest to find the best swordsman in Japan.
The contest lasted several weeks and finally came down to just three men who had been superior to all others. The Emperor told the three men that they would be able to demonstrate their skills in any way that they wanted, the first man came out into the arena and stood still not moving finally a fly came flying by and suddenly he drew his sword and "swoosh" he cut the fly in two, the Emperor rushed down and grabbed him and said " I have never seen such swordsmanship, I know that you will win, but I have to let the others at least try."
The next man came down and also stood still in the middle of the arena and when a fly came by he drew his sword and "swoosh, swoosh" he had cut the fly in quarters, again the Emperor rushed down and told the man that he was sure he would win, but that the last man had to try.
The last warrior came into the arena and waited for his fly and when it finally came by he drew his sword and "swoosh, swoosh", but the fly kept on flying, the Emperor walked slowly into the arena and said," You are truly a great swordsman, but the fly still lives."
The warrior replied, " Yes, but he'll never reproduce again."
