A very mean king went to a nearby village. He wanted some more slaves to serve him at his royal palace. He decided that if any family in the village had more than five children, he would take them. A cobbler and his wife had ten children. When the king came to take them, the cobbler and his wife begged and begged. Finally the king said, "I see that you have ten pairs of shoes in a box. If you can give each of your children a pair and still leave one pair out of ten in the box, you can keep your children. The cobbler and his wife began to smile at each other. How did they keep all of their children?

I am three words,
Two of them appear the same,
Two are pronounced the same.
One is the third person use of "capable" or "permit".
One means to sleep, but only for a bit.
The last word means a group of deer,
Perhaps now you can tell me, what words are here?
 
Best guess would be doze and does for the last 2, but I'm not convinced 'does' fits 'capable' or 'permit' :think:
 
First ever try
1 Does (pronounced DUZ)
2 Doze
3 Does(as in doe a female deer)
1st one might have been better as a little medicine Dose then all 3 would sound the same
all the best

sorry if its wrong
