Clever little shepherds

Once upon a time there was a little boy, because others, no matter what, he could give an intelligent answer, and fame. The king heard, did not believe it, the shepherd recruited into the palace. The king said to him:" if you can answer my three questions raised, I acknowledge you as my son, let you and I lives together in the palace." Boy asked:" what is the problem?" The king said : "the first is: the sea how much water?" The little boy replied:" Your Majesty, please you ordered that all the rivers in the world are blocked up, do not let a drop of water into the sea, until I have counted it, I will tell you how many drops of water in the sea." The king said: "the second question is: how many stars are there?" Shepherd boy reply:" give me a piece of white paper." Therefore he used the pen to poke on many points, and was barely visible, but can not count. Anyone want to stare, will see things in a blur. Then he said:" the stars in the sky as much as I this paper on some, please count the number." But nobody can count. The king said: "the third question is: how many seconds eternal has?" Shepherd boy reply:" has a diamond mountain after Baume Laniya, this mountain has two mile high, two miles wide, two miles deep; every one hundred years have a bird to fly, peck the mountain with its mouth, and the whole mountain is worn away, the first second of eternity end."
The king said:" do you like the wise men to answer my three questions, from now on, you can live in the palace, I would like to be your own son."
