    "There was once upon a time a queen to whom God had given no children. Every morning she went into the garden and prayed to God in heaven to bestow on her a son or a daughter. Then an angel from heaven came to her and said, be at rest, you shall have a son with the power of wishing, so that whatsoever in the world he wishes for, that shall he have. Then she went to the king, and told him the joyful tidings, and when the time was come she gave birth to a son, and the king was filled with gladness.",
    "Every morning she went with the child to the garden where the wild beasts were kept, and washed herself there in a clear stream. It happened once when the child was a little older, that it was lying in her arms and she fell asleep. Then came the old cook, who knew that the child had the power of wishing, and stole it away, and he took a hen, and cut it in pieces, and dropped some of its blood on the queen's apron and on her dress. Then he carried the child away to a secret place, where a nurse was obliged to suckle it, and he ran to the king and accused the queen of having allowed her child to be taken from her by the wild beasts. When the king saw the blood on her apron, he believed this, fell into such a passion that he ordered a high tower to be built, in which neither sun nor moon could be seen, and had his wife put into it, and walled up. Here she was to stay for seven years without meat or drink, and die of hunger. But God sent two angels from heaven in the shape of white doves, which flew to her twice a day, and carried her food until the seven years were over.",
    "The cook, however, thought to himself, if the child has the power of wishing, and I am here, he might very easily get me into trouble. So he left the palace and went to the boy, who was already big enough to speak, and said to him, wish for a beautiful palace for yourself with a garden, and all else that pertains to it. Scarcely were the words out of the boy's mouth, when everything was there that he had wished for. After a while the cook said to him, it is not well for you to be so alone, wish for a pretty girl as a companion. Then the king's son wished for one, and she immediately stood before him, and was more beautiful than any painter could have painted her.",
    "The two played together, and loved each other with all their hearts, and the old cook went out hunting like a nobleman. The thought occurred to him, however, that the king's son might some day wish to be with his father, and thus bring him into great peril. So he went out and took the maiden aside, and said, to-night when the boy is asleep, go to his bed and plunge this knife into his heart, and bring me his heart and tongue, and if you do not do it, you shall lose your life.",
    "Thereupon he went away, and when he returned next day she had not done it, and said, why should I shed the blood of an innocent boy who has never harmed anyone. The cook once more said, if you do not do it, it shall cost you your own life.",
    "When he had gone away, she had a little hind brought to her, and ordered her to be killed, and took her heart and tongue, and laid them on a plate, and when she saw the old man coming, she said to the boy, lie down in your bed, and draw the clothes over you. Then the wicked wretch came in and said, where are the boy's heart and tongue. The girl reached the plate to him, but the king's son threw off the quilt, and said, you old sinner, why did you want to kill me. Now will I pronounce thy sentence. You shall become a black poodle and have a gold collar round your neck, and shall eat burning coals, till the flames burst forth from your throat. And when he had spoken these words, the old man was changed into a poodle dog, and had a gold collar round his neck, and the cooks were ordered to bring up some live coals, and these he ate, until the flames broke forth from his throat.",
    "The king's son remained there a short while longer, and he thought of his mother, and wondered if she were still alive. At length he said to the maiden, I will go home to my own country, if you will go with me, I will provide for you.",
    "Ah, she replied, the way is so long, and what shall I do in a strange land where I am unknown. As she did not seem quite willing, and as they could not be parted from each other, he wished that she might be changed into a beautiful pink, and took her with him. Then he went away to his own country, and the poodle had to run after him.",
    "He went to the tower in which his mother was confined, and as it was so high, he wished for a ladder which would reach up to the very top. Then he mounted up and looked inside, and cried, beloved mother, lady queen, are you still alive, or are you dead. She answered, I have just eaten, and am still satisfied, for she thought the angels were there. Said he, I am your dear son, whom the wild beasts were said to have torn from your arms, but I am alive still, and will soon set you free.",
    "Then he descended again, and went to his father, and caused himself to be ammounced as a strange huntsman, and asked if he could offer him service. The king said yes, if he was skilful and could get game for him, he should come to him, but that deer had never taken up their quarters in any part of the district or country. Then the huntsman promised to procure as much game for him as he could possibly use at the royal table. So he summoned all the huntsmen together, and bade them go out into the forest with him. And he went with them and made them form a great circle, open at one end where he stationed himself, and began to wish.",
    "Two hundred deer and more came running inside the circle at once, and the huntsmen shot them. Then they were all placed on sixty country carts, and driven home to the king, and for once he was able to deck his table with game, after having had none at all for years.",
    "Now the king felt great joy at this, and commanded that his entire household should eat with him next day, and made a great feast. When they were all assembled together, he said to the huntsmen, as you are so clever, you shall sit by me. He replied, lord king, your majesty must excuse me, I am a poor huntsman. But the king insisted on it, and said, you shall sit by me, until he did it. Whilst he was sitting there, he thought of his dearest mother, and wished that one of the king's principal servants would begin to speak of her, and would ask how it was faring with the queen in the tower, and if she were alive still, or had perished.",
    "Hardly had he formed the wish than the marshal began, and said, your majesty, we live joyously here, but how is the queen living in the tower. Is she still alive, or has she died? But the king replied, she let my dear son be torn to pieces by wild beasts, I will not have her named. Then the huntsman arose and said, gracious lord father, she is alive still, and I am her son, and I was not carried away by wild beasts, but by that wretch the old cook, who tore me from her arms when she was asleep, and sprinkled her apron with the blood of a chicken.",
    "Thereupon he took the dog with the golden collar, and said, that is the wretch, and caused live coals to be brought, and these the dog was compelled to devour before the sight of all, until flames burst forth from its throat. On this the huntsman asked the king if he would like to see the dog in his true shape, and wished him back into the form of the cook, in the which he stood immediately, with his white apron, and his knife by his side. When the king saw him he fell into a passion, and ordered him to be cast into the deepest dungeon.",
    "Then the huntsman spoke further and said, father, will you see the maiden who brought me up so tenderly and who was afterwards to murder me, but did not do it, though her own life depended on it. The king replied, yes, I would like to see her. The son said, most gracious father, I will show her to you in the form of a beautiful flower, and he thrust his hand into his pocket and brought forth the pink, and placed it on the royal table, and it was so beautiful that the king had never seen one to equal it. Then the son said, now will I show her to you in her own form, and wished that she might become a maiden, and she stood there looking so beautiful that no painter could have made her look more so.",
    "And the king sent two waiting-maids and two attendants into the tower, to fetch the queen and bring her to the royal table. But when whe was led in she ate nothing, and said, the gracious and merciful God who has supported me in the tower, will soon set me free. She lived three days more, and then died happily, and when she was buried, the two white doves which had brought her food to the tower, and were angels of heaven, followed her body and seated themselves on her grave. The aged king ordered the cook to be torn in four pieces, but grief consumed the king's own heart, and he soon died. His son married the beautiful maiden whom he had brought with him as a flower in his pocket, and whether they are still alive or not, is known to God."

At length he said to the maiden, I will go home to my own country, if you will go with me, I will provide for you.\n\nAh, she replied, the way is so long, and what shall I do in a strange land where I am unknown. As she did not seem quite willing, and as they could not be parted from each other, he wished that she might be changed into a beautiful pink, and took her with him. Then he went away to his own country, and the poodle had to run after him.\n\nHe went to the tower in which his mother was confined, and as it was so high, he wished for a ladder which would reach up to the very top. Then he mounted up and looked inside, and cried, beloved mother, lady queen, are you still alive, or are you dead. She answered, I have just eaten, and am still satisfied, for she thought the angels were there. Said he, I am your dear son, whom the wild beasts were said to have torn from your arms, but I am alive still, and will soon set you free.\n\nThen he descended again, and went to his father, and caused himself to be ammounced as a strange huntsman, and asked if he could offer him service. The king said yes, if he was skilful and could get game for him, he should come to him, but that deer had never taken up their quarters in any part of the district or country. Then the huntsman promised to procure as much game for him as he could possibly use at the royal table. So he summoned all the huntsmen together, and bade them go out into the forest with him. And he went with them and made them form a great circle, open at one end where he stationed himself, and began to wish.\n\nTwo hundred deer and more came running inside the circle at once, and the huntsmen shot them. Then they were all placed on sixty country carts, and driven home to the king, and for once he was able to deck his table with game, after having had none at all for years.\n\nNow the king felt great joy at this, and commanded that his entire household should eat with him next day, and made a great feast. When they were all assembled together, he said to the huntsmen, as you are so clever, you shall sit by me. He replied, lord king, your majesty must excuse me, I am a poor huntsman. But the king insisted on it, and said, you shall sit by me, until he did it. Whilst he was sitting there, he thought of his dearest mother, and wished that one of the king's principal servants would begin to speak of her, and would ask how it was faring with the queen in the tower, and if she were alive still, or had perished.\n\nHardly had he formed the wish than the marshal began, and said, your majesty, we live joyously here, but how is the queen living in the tower. Is she still alive, or has she died? But the king replied, she let my dear son be torn to pieces by wild beasts, I will not have her named. Then the huntsman arose and said, gracious lord father, she is alive still, and I am her son, and I was not carried away by wild beasts, but by that wretch the old cook, who tore me from her arms when she was asleep, and sprinkled her apron with the blood of a chicken.\n\nThereupon he took the dog with the golden collar, and said, that is the wretch, and caused live coals to be brought, and these the dog was compelled to devour before the sight of all, until flames burst forth from its throat. On this the huntsman asked the king if he would like to see the dog in his true shape, and wished him back into the form of the cook, in the which he stood immediately, with his white apron, and his knife by his side. When the king saw him he fell into a passion, and ordered him to be cast into the deepest dungeon.\n\nThen the huntsman spoke further and said, father, will you see the maiden who brought me up so tenderly and who was afterwards to murder me, but did not do it, though her own life depended on it. The king replied, yes, I would like to see her. The son said, most gracious father, I will show her to you in the form of a beautiful flower, and he thrust his hand into his pocket and brought forth the pink, and placed it on the royal table, and it was so beautiful that the king had never seen one to equal it. Then the son said, now will I show her to you in her own form, and wished that she might become a maiden, and she stood there looking so beautiful that no painter could have made her look more so.\n\nAnd the king sent two waiting-maids and two attendants into the tower, to fetch the queen and bring her to the royal table. But when whe was led in she ate nothing, and said, the gracious and merciful God who has supported me in the tower, will soon set me free. She lived three days more, and then died happily, and when she was buried, the two white doves which had brought her food to the tower, and were angels of heaven, followed her body and seated themselves on her grave. The aged king ordered the cook to be torn in four pieces, but grief consumed the king's own heart, and he soon died. His son married the beautiful maiden whom he had brought with him as a flower in his pocket, and whether they are still alive or not, is known to God.",

    "There was once upon a time a queen to whom God had given no children. Every morning she went into the garden and prayed to God in heaven to bestow on her a son or a daughter.

    "When the king saw the blood on her apron, he believed this, fell into such a passion that he ordered a high tower to be built, in which neither sun nor moon could be seen, and had his wife put into it, and walled up.

So he left the palace and went to the boy, who was already big enough to speak, and said to him, wish for a beautiful palace for yourself with a garden, and all else that pertains to it. Scarcely were the words out of the boy's mouth, when everything was there that he had wished for.

Then an angel from heaven came to her and said, be at rest, you shall have a son with the power of wishing, so that whatsoever in the world he wishes for, that shall he have. Then she went to the king, and told him the joyful tidings, and when the time was come she gave birth to a son, and the king was filled with gladness.",
    "Every morning she went with the child to the garden where the wild beasts were kept, and washed herself there in a clear stream. It happened once when the child was a little older, that it was lying in her arms and she fell asleep. Then came the old cook, who knew that the child had the power of wishing, and stole it away, and he took a hen, and cut it in pieces, and dropped some of its blood on the queen's apron and on her dress. Then he carried the child away to a secret place, where a nurse was obliged to suckle it, and he ran to the king and accused the queen of having allowed her child to be taken from her by the wild beasts.",
    "When the king saw the blood on her apron, he believed this, fell into such a passion that he ordered a high tower to be built, in which neither sun nor moon could be seen, and had his wife put into it, and walled up. Here she was to stay for seven years without meat or drink, and die of hunger. But God sent two angels from heaven in the shape of white doves, which flew to her twice a day, and carried her food until the seven years were over.",
    "The cook, however, thought to himself, if the child has the power of wishing, and I am here, he might very easily get me into trouble. So he left the palace and went to the boy, who was already big enough to speak, and said to him, wish for a beautiful palace for yourself with a garden, and all else that pertains to it. Scarcely were the words out of the boy's mouth, when everything was there that he had wished for. After a while the cook said to him, it is not well for you to be so alone, wish for a pretty girl as a companion. Then the king's son wished for one, and she immediately stood before him, and was more beautiful than any painter could have painted her.",
    "The two played together, and loved each other with all their hearts, and the old cook went out hunting like a nobleman. The thought occurred to him, however, that the king's son might some day wish to be with his father, and thus bring him into great peril. So he went out and took the maiden aside, and said, to-night when the boy is asleep, go to his bed and plunge this knife into his heart, and bring me his heart and tongue, and if you do not do it, you shall lose your life.",
    "Thereupon he went away, and when he returned next day she had not done it, and said, why should I shed the blood of an innocent boy who has never harmed anyone. The cook once more said, if you do not do it, it shall cost you your own life.",
    "When he had gone away, she had a little hind brought to her, and ordered her to be killed, and took her heart and tongue, and laid them on a plate, and when she saw the old man coming, she said to the boy, lie down in your bed, and draw the clothes over you. Then the wicked wretch came in and said, where are the boy's heart and tongue. The girl reached the plate to him, but the king's son threw off the quilt, and said, you old sinner, why did you want to kill me. Now will I pronounce thy sentence. You shall become a black poodle and have a gold collar round your neck, and shall eat burning coals, till the flames burst forth from your throat.",
    "And when he had spoken these words, the old man was changed into a poodle dog, and had a gold collar round his neck, and the cooks were ordered to bring up some live coals, and these he ate, until the flames broke forth from his throat.",
    "The king's son remained there a short while longer, and he thought of his mother, and wondered if she were still alive. At length he said to the maiden, I will go home to my own country, if you will go with me, I will provide for you.",
    "Ah, she replied, the way is so long, and what shall I do in a strange land where I am unknown. As she did not seem quite willing, and as they could not be parted from each other, he wished that she might be changed into a beautiful pink, and took her with him. Then he went away to his own country, and the poodle had to run after him.",
    "He went to the tower in which his mother was confined, and as it was so high, he wished for a ladder which would reach up to the very top. Then he mounted up and looked inside, and cried, beloved mother, lady queen, are you still alive, or are you dead. She answered, I have just eaten, and am still satisfied, for she thought the angels were there. Said he, I am your dear son, whom the wild beasts were said to have torn from your arms, but I am alive still, and will soon set you free.",
    "Then he descended again, and went to his father, and caused himself to be ammounced as a strange huntsman, and asked if he could offer him service. The king said yes, if he was skilful and could get game for him, he should come to him, but that deer had never taken up their quarters in any part of the district or country. Then the huntsman promised to procure as much game for him as he could possibly use at the royal table. So he summoned all the huntsmen together, and bade them go out into the forest with him. And he went with them and made them form a great circle, open at one end where he stationed himself, and began to wish.",
    "Two hundred deer and more came running inside the circle at once, and the huntsmen shot them. Then they were all placed on sixty country carts, and driven home to the king, and for once he was able to deck his table with game, after having had none at all for years.",
    "Now the king felt great joy at this, and commanded that his entire household should eat with him next day, and made a great feast. When they were all assembled together, he said to the huntsmen, as you are so clever, you shall sit by me. He replied, lord king, your majesty must excuse me, I am a poor huntsman. But the king insisted on it, and said, you shall sit by me, until he did it. Whilst he was sitting there, he thought of his dearest mother, and wished that one of the king's principal servants would begin to speak of her, and would ask how it was faring with the queen in the tower, and if she were alive still, or had perished.",
    "Hardly had he formed the wish than the marshal began, and said, your majesty, we live joyously here, but how is the queen living in the tower. Is she still alive, or has she died? But the king replied, she let my dear son be torn to pieces by wild beasts, I will not have her named. Then the huntsman arose and said, gracious lord father, she is alive still, and I am her son, and I was not carried away by wild beasts, but by that wretch the old cook, who tore me from her arms when she was asleep, and sprinkled her apron with the blood of a chicken.",
    "Thereupon he took the dog with the golden collar, and said, that is the wretch, and caused live coals to be brought, and these the dog was compelled to devour before the sight of all, until flames burst forth from its throat. On this the huntsman asked the king if he would like to see the dog in his true shape, and wished him back into the form of the cook, in the which he stood immediately, with his white apron, and his knife by his side. When the king saw him he fell into a passion, and ordered him to be cast into the deepest dungeon.",
    "Then the huntsman spoke further and said, father, will you see the maiden who brought me up so tenderly and who was afterwards to murder me, but did not do it, though her own life depended on it. The king replied, yes, I would like to see her. The son said, most gracious father, I will show her to you in the form of a beautiful flower, and he thrust his hand into his pocket and brought forth the pink, and placed it on the royal table, and it was so beautiful that the king had never seen one to equal it. Then the son said, now will I show her to you in her own form, and wished that she might become a maiden, and she stood there looking so beautiful that no painter could have made her look more so.",
    "And the king sent two waiting-maids and two attendants into the tower, to fetch the queen and bring her to the royal table. But when whe was led in she ate nothing, and said, the gracious and merciful God who has supported me in the tower, will soon set me free. She lived three days more, and then died happily, and when she was buried, the two white doves which had brought her food to the tower, and were angels of heaven, followed her body and seated themselves on her grave. The aged king ordered the cook to be torn in four pieces, but grief consumed the king's own heart, and he soon died. His son married the beautiful maiden whom he had brought with him as a flower in his pocket, and whether they are still alive or not, is known to God."

    "Once upon a time, a queen had no children. Every morning, she went into her garden and prayed to God in the sky. She asked for a son or a daughter. An angel from heaven came down to her. The angel said, \"Do not worry. You will have a son. He can wish for anything he wants, and he will get it.\" The queen was so happy. She told the king the good news. When the baby was born, the king was filled with joy.",
    "Every morning, she went with the child to the garden where the wild animals lived. She washed herself in a clear stream there. One day, the child was a little older. She was lying in her arms, and she fell asleep. Then the old cook came in. He knew the child could make wishes. He took the child away to a secret place. A kind nurse there fed the baby. The cook ran to the king and told a lie. He said the queen let the wild animals take the child.",
    "When the king saw the red stain on her apron, he was very angry. He ordered a tall tower to be built. It was dark inside, with no sun or moon. He put his wife in the tower and walled it up. She had to stay there for seven years. She could not eat or drink. She would get very hungry. But God sent two white doves from the sky. They came every day to bring her food. They stayed with her until the seven years were finished.",
    "The cook thought, \"If this child can make wishes, he might get me in trouble. So, he left the palace and went to the boy. The boy was big enough to talk now. The cook said, 'Wish for a beautiful palace with a garden for yourself.' The boy said the words, and suddenly, everything was there. Then the cook said, 'It is lonely for you to be alone. Wish for a pretty girl to be your friend.' The boy wished for one, and a beautiful girl appeared right in front of him. She was more beautiful than any picture.",
    "The two played together and loved each other very much. The old cook went out to hunt, but he had a bad thought. He worried that the prince might want to see his father again. That could be dangerous. So, he stopped a kind girl and gave her a sharp knife. He told her, \"When the boy is asleep, go to his bed. Stick the knife into his heart. Bring me his heart and tongue. If you do not do this, you will be in big trouble.",
    "So he went away. When he came back the next day, she still hadn't done it. She said, \"Why should I hurt an innocent boy who has never done anything wrong?\" The cook said again, \"If you don't do it, it will cost you your own life.",
    "When he left, she had a little dog brought to her. She ordered the dog to be killed. She took the dog's heart and tongue and put them on a plate. Then she saw the old man coming. She told the boy, \"Lie down in your bed and pull the covers over you.\"\n\nThe wicked man came in and asked, \"Where is the boy's heart and tongue?\"\n\nThe girl gave him the plate. But the king's son threw off the quilt. He looked at the old man and said, \"You old sinner, why did you want to kill me?\"\n\n\"Now I will give you your punishment,\" he said. \"You shall become a black poodle with a golden collar. You will have to eat hot coals until the fire burns out of your throat.",
    "Then he spoke those words, and the old man turned into a little poodle dog. He wore a shiny gold collar around his neck. The cooks brought up some warm, glowing coals for him to eat. He ate them happily, and the warm light shone brightly from his throat.",
    "The prince stayed there for a little while. He thought of his mother and wondered if she was still alive. Finally, he spoke to the girl. \"I will go back to my own home,\" he said. \"If you come with me, I will take care of you.",
    "I don't know,\" she said softly. \"The road is so long. What will I do in a strange place where no one knows me?\"\n\nShe looked a little sad. But they could not be apart. So, he made a wish. He hoped she might turn into something lovely and soft. He took her with him. Then, he went home to his own country. The little dog had to run to keep up.",
    "He climbed the tall tower where his mother was kept. It was very high up, so he wished for a ladder to reach the top. He climbed up and looked inside. He called out, \"Beloved mother, dear queen, are you still alive, or are you sleeping?\" She answered, \"I have just eaten, and I am full and happy. I thought the angels were here.\" Then he said, \"I am your dear son. The wild animals were said to have hurt me, but I am safe and alive. I will set you free very soon.",
    "Then he went back down and found his father. He pretended to be a brave hunter and asked if he could help. The king said yes, but he had to be good at his job and bring food for the table. The king said that the deer never came to their land. The hunter promised to bring lots of food for the king. So he called all the hunters together and told them to go into the forest with him. He stood in the middle and made a big circle. Then he started to make a wish.",
    "Two hundred deer and more ran into the circle at once. The huntsmen shot them gently. Then the deer were placed on sixty big carts. They were driven home to the king. For once, he could deck his table with game. He had not had any food like that for years.",
    "The king felt so happy that he ordered a big feast for everyone in his house. He told the clever huntsman to sit next to him. The huntsman felt shy and said, \"I am just a poor man, your Majesty.\" But the king smiled and said, \"No, you must sit here.\" So the huntsman sat down. As he ate, he thought of his dear mother. He really hoped someone would talk about her. He wished a servant would ask, \"How is the queen in the tower? Is she still alive?",
    "Hardly had he made his wish than the Marshal began to speak. He said, \"Your Majesty, we live happily here. But how is the Queen living in the tower? Is she still alive, or has she passed away?\"\n\nBut the King replied, \"She let my dear son be hurt by wild animals. I will not speak her name.\"\n\nThen the Huntsman stood up. He said, \"Gracious Lord, Father, she is alive. I am her son. I was not taken by wild animals. I was taken by that mean old cook. He tore me from her arms while she was sleeping. He even put chicken blood on her apron.",
    "He took the dog with the golden collar. He said, \"That is the bad man!\" He brought some hot coals. The dog had to eat them in front of everyone. Flames came out of its mouth. The huntsman asked the king, \"Do you want to see the dog in his real form?\" He wished the king back into the shape of a cook. The king stood there right away, wearing his white apron and holding his knife. When the king saw him, he got very angry. He ordered the huntsman to be locked in the deepest dungeon.",
    "Then the huntsman spoke to his father. \"Father, will you see the girl who raised me with such love? She was the one who was supposed to hurt me, but she did not. She saved my life instead.\"\n\nThe king smiled and said, \"Yes, I would love to see her.\"\n\nThe son said, \"Most kind father, I will show you her true form. She is a beautiful flower.\" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a lovely pink flower. He placed it gently on the royal table. It was so pretty that the king had never seen anything like it.\n\nThen the son said, \"Now I will show you her real self.\" He made a wish, and suddenly, a beautiful girl stood there. She looked so lovely that no artist could have painted her more perfectly.",
    "The king sent two helpers to bring the queen to the big table. But when she came in, she did not eat. She said, \"The kind God who helped me in the tower will set me free soon.\" She lived for three more days, and then she went to sleep happily. When she was buried, the two white birds that had brought her food flew down. They were angels from heaven, and they sat on her grave to keep her safe. The old king was very sad. He ordered the cook to be punished, but his own heart was broken with grief. He died soon after. His son married the beautiful girl he had saved, and they lived a happy life together."

Finally, he spoke to the girl. \"I will go back to my own home,\" he said. \"If you come with me, I will take care of you.\n\nI don't know,\" she said softly. \"The road is so long. What will I do in a strange place where no one knows me?\"\n\nShe looked a little sad. But they could not be apart. So, he made a wish. He hoped she might turn into something lovely and soft. He took her with him. Then, he went home to his own country. The little dog had to run to keep up.\n\nHe climbed the tall tower where his mother was kept. It was very high up, so he wished for a ladder to reach the top. He climbed up and looked inside. He called out, \"Beloved mother, dear queen, are you still alive, or are you sleeping?\" She answered, \"I have just eaten, and I am full and happy. I thought the angels were here.\" Then he said, \"I am your dear son. The wild animals were said to have hurt me, but I am safe and alive. I will set you free very soon.\n\nThen he went back down and found his father. He pretended to be a brave hunter and asked if he could help. The king said yes, but he had to be good at his job and bring food for the table. The king said that the deer never came to their land. The hunter promised to bring lots of food for the king. So he called all the hunters together and told them to go into the forest with him. He stood in the middle and made a big circle. Then he started to make a wish.\n\nTwo hundred deer and more ran into the circle at once. The huntsmen shot them gently. Then the deer were placed on sixty big carts. They were driven home to the king. For once, he could deck his table with game. He had not had any food like that for years.\n\nThe king felt so happy that he ordered a big feast for everyone in his house. He told the clever huntsman to sit next to him. The huntsman felt shy and said, \"I am just a poor man, your Majesty.\" But the king smiled and said, \"No, you must sit here.\" So the huntsman sat down. As he ate, he thought of his dear mother. He really hoped someone would talk about her. He wished a servant would ask, \"How is the queen in the tower? Is she still alive?\n\nHardly had he made his wish than the Marshal began to speak. He said, \"Your Majesty, we live happily here. But how is the Queen living in the tower? Is she still alive, or has she passed away?\"\n\nBut the King replied, \"She let my dear son be hurt by wild animals. I will not speak her name.\"\n\nThen the Huntsman stood up. He said, \"Gracious Lord, Father, she is alive. I am her son. I was not taken by wild animals. I was taken by that mean old cook. He tore me from her arms while she was sleeping. He even put chicken blood on her apron.\n\nHe took the dog with the golden collar. He said, \"That is the bad man!\" He brought some hot coals. The dog had to eat them in front of everyone. Flames came out of its mouth. The huntsman asked the king, \"Do you want to see the dog in his real form?\" He wished the king back into the shape of a cook. The king stood there right away, wearing his white apron and holding his knife. When the king saw him, he got very angry. He ordered the huntsman to be locked in the deepest dungeon.\n\nThen the huntsman spoke to his father. \"Father, will you see the girl who raised me with such love? She was the one who was supposed to hurt me, but she did not. She saved my life instead.\"\n\nThe king smiled and said, \"Yes, I would love to see her.\"\n\nThe son said, \"Most kind father, I will show you her true form. She is a beautiful flower.\" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a lovely pink flower. He placed it gently on the royal table. It was so pretty that the king had never seen anything like it.\n\nThen the son said, \"Now I will show you her real self.\" He made a wish, and suddenly, a beautiful girl stood there. She looked so lovely that no artist could have painted her more perfectly.\n\nThe king sent two helpers to bring the queen to the big table. But when she came in, she did not eat. She said, \"The kind God who helped me in the tower will set me free soon.\" She lived for three more days, and then she went to sleep happily. When she was buried, the two white birds that had brought her food flew down. They were angels from heaven, and they sat on her grave to keep her safe. The old king was very sad. He ordered the cook to be punished, but his own heart was broken with grief. He died soon after. His son married the beautiful girl he had saved, and they lived a happy life together.",

    "Once upon a time, a queen had no children. Every morning, she went into her garden and prayed to God in the sky. She asked for a son or a daughter. An angel from heaven came down to her. The angel said, \"Do not worry. You will have a son. He can wish for anything he wants, and he will get it.\" The queen was so happy. She told the king the good news. When the baby was born, the king was filled with joy.",
    "Every morning, she went with the child to the garden where the wild animals lived. She washed herself in a clear stream there. One day, the child was a little older. She was lying in her arms, and she fell asleep. Then the old cook came in. He knew the child could make wishes. He took the child away to a secret place. A kind nurse there fed the baby. The cook ran to the king and told a lie. He said the queen let the wild animals take the child.",
    "When the king saw the red stain on her apron, he was very angry. He ordered a tall tower to be built. It was dark inside, with no sun or moon. He put his wife in the tower and walled it up. She had to stay there for seven years. She could not eat or drink. She would get very hungry. But God sent two white doves from the sky. They came every day to bring her food. They stayed with her until the seven years were finished.",
    "The cook thought, \"If this child can make wishes, he might get me in trouble. So, he left the palace and went to the boy. The boy was big enough to talk now. The cook said, 'Wish for a beautiful palace with a garden for yourself.' The boy said the words, and suddenly, everything was there. Then the cook said, 'It is lonely for you to be alone. Wish for a pretty girl to be your friend.' The boy wished for one, and a beautiful girl appeared right in front of him. She was more beautiful than any picture.",
    "The two played together and loved each other very much. The old cook went out to hunt, but he had a bad thought. He worried that the prince might want to see his father again. That could be dangerous. So, he stopped a kind girl and gave her a sharp knife. He told her, \"When the boy is asleep, go to his bed. Stick the knife into his heart. Bring me his heart and tongue. If you do not do this, you will be in big trouble.",
    "So he went away. When he came back the next day, she still hadn't done it. She said, \"Why should I hurt an innocent boy who has never done anything wrong?\" The cook said again, \"If you don't do it, it will cost you your own life.",
    "When he left, she had a little dog brought to her. She ordered the dog to be killed. She took the dog's heart and tongue and put them on a plate. Then she saw the old man coming. She told the boy, \"Lie down in your bed and pull the covers over you.\"\n\nThe wicked man came in and asked, \"Where is the boy's heart and tongue?\"\n\nThe girl gave him the plate. But the king's son threw off the quilt. He looked at the old man and said, \"You old sinner, why did you want to kill me?\"\n\n\"Now I will give you your punishment,\" he said. \"You shall become a black poodle with a golden collar. You will have to eat hot coals until the fire burns out of your throat.",
    "Then he spoke those words, and the old man turned into a little poodle dog. He wore a shiny gold collar around his neck. The cooks brought up some warm, glowing coals for him to eat. He ate them happily, and the warm light shone brightly from his throat.",
    "The prince stayed there for a little while. He thought of his mother and wondered if she was still alive. Finally, he spoke to the girl. \"I will go back to my own home,\" he said. \"If you come with me, I will take care of you.",
