King Solomon asked a newly arrived craftsman, "Where do you come from?"
"From Tyre, your majesty."
"Did you meet our Grand Master Hiram Abif there?"
"Yes, your majesty."
King Solomon pointed to a pile of rough stones and asked, "How does Hiram Abif resemble this?"
The craftsman made no answer. Returning to Tyre, he reported the meeting to King Hiram, who asked, "Did you notice how large the pile was?"
"Immense, your majesty."
"Then you are a very strong man indeed."
"How so, your majesty?"
"Because you have carried that immense pile all the way from Jerusalem to me. Only a very strong man could have accomplished such a feat."
