When it was the Seven Hundred and Forty-seventh Night,
...
King Al-Samandal asked, “With what object dost thou gift me with this gift? Tell me thy tale and acquaint me with thy requirement. An its accomplishment be in my power I will straightway accomplish it to thee and spare thee toil and trouble; and if I be unable thereunto, Allah compelleth not any soul aught beyond its power.”

So Salih rose and kissing ground three times, said, “O King of the Age, that which I desire thou art indeed able to do; it is in thy power and thou art master thereof; and I impose not on the King a difficulty, nor am I Jinn-demented, that I should crave of the King a thing whereto he availeth not; for one of the sages saith, ‘An thou wouldst be complied with ask that which can be readily supplied’. Wherefore, that of which I am come in quest, the King (whom Allah preserve!) is able to grant.”
...
O King, thou knowest that the Princess Jauharah, the daughter of our lord the King must needs be wedded and bedded, for the sage saith, a girl’s lot is either grace of marriage or the grave.

The Princess Jauharah is considered to be the most beautiful girl in the realm. The suitor frames the negotiations about her marriage not only as something entirely doable but also as a inevitable dilemma that has a simple solution. Didn't work on the king, though.
