The Mustache

Riddle: One day, a King asked his advisers, "What should I do if someone touches my mustache ( mustaches are a sign of power)?" The first adviser said, "He should get his hair cut off and be hung." The second one said, "He should be stoned to death." The third, being the most clever of them all, said, "He should be given sweets." This shocked the advisers and the King. Why would the third adviser suggest such and idea?

Answer: Since mustaches are a sign of power, the only ones daring enough to touch someone's mustache, especially the King's, would be a child.
