Long bones
Dīghaṭṭhipañha (Mil 3.7 10)
The king said: ‘Your people say there are bones even a hundred leagues long. Now there is no tree even one hundred leagues in length, how then can there be bones so long?’
‘But tell me, O king. Have you not heard of fishes in the sea five hundred leagues in length?’
‘Yes. I have heard of such.’
‘If so, could they not have bones a hundred leagues long?’
‘Very good, Nāgasena!’
