Ok question ........why is it you speak English ????
 
@Kovid45 is actually right about about the foot. A king wanted a new bed for his queen made. He told his carpenter to make a bed. There was no std for measure at the time. So the king had the queen lay down and stepped off around her. He told his carpenter the queen is 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide. The carpenter made the bed. The king surprised the queen with it and was raged to find the bed was much too small for the queen. He threw the carpenter into the dungeon. Sitting there the carpenter thought about what had happened. It came to him, the kings foot was much larger then his foot. He pleaded with the king to allow him a second chance. The king agreed. The carpenter asked for the court stone Mason to make an exact replica of the kings foot, so he could measure exactly the same as the king..... the rest is history.
