In the seventh century, the powerful Tibetian King Songstan Gambo married a
chinese princess. According to the Tibetian story of his wooing, he was
required , in order to win the hand of his bride, to pass a silk thread
through a coil of perforated turquoise beads arranged in concentric circles;
the problem was solved by tying the thread to a queen ant which he placed in
the perforation of the first turquoise, gently blowing into the hole, till
to the amazement of the lookers-on, the ant came out at the other end of the
coil, dragging the thread along.
