    "There was once upon a time an old queen whose husband had been dead for many years, and she had a beautiful daughter. When the princess grew up she was betrothed to a prince who lived at a great distance. When the time came for her to be married, and she had to journey forth into the distant kingdom, the aged queen packed up for her many costly vessels of silver and gold, and trinkets also of gold and silver, and cups and jewels, in short, everything which appertained to a royal dowry, for she loved her child with all her heart.",
    "She likewise sent her maid-in-waiting, who was to ride with her, and hand her over to the bridegroom, and each had a horse for the journey, but the horse of the king's daughter was called falada, and could speak. So when the hour of parting had come, the aged mother went into her bedroom, took a small knife and cut her finger with it until it bled. Then she held a white handkerchief to it into which she let three drops of blood fall, gave it to her daughter and said, dear child, preserve this carefully, it will be of service to you on your way.",
    "So they took a sorrowful leave of each other, the princess put the piece of cloth in her bosom, mounted her horse, and then went away to her bridegroom. After she had ridden for a while she felt a burning thirst, and said to her waiting-maid, dismount, and take my cup which you have brought with you for me, and get me some water from the stream, for I should like to drink. If you are thirsty, said the waiting-maid, get off your horse yourself, and lie down and drink out of the water, I don't choose to be your servant.",
    "So in her great thirst the princess alighted, bent down over the water in the stream and drank, and was not allowed to drink out of the golden cup. Then she said, ah, heaven, and the three drops of blood answered, if this your mother knew, her heart would break in two. But the king's daughter was humble, said nothing, and mounted her horse again.",
    "She rode some miles further, but the day was warm, the sun scorched her, and she was thirsty once more, and when they came to a stream of water, she again cried to her waiting-maid, dismount, and give me some water in my golden cup, for she had long ago forgotten the girl's ill words. But the waiting-maid said still more haughtily, if you wish to drink, get it yourself, I don't choose to be your maid. Then in her great thirst the king's daughter alighted, bent over the flowing stream, wept and said, ah, heaven, and the drops of blood again replied, if this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "And as she was thus drinking and leaning right over the stream, the handkerchief with the three drops of blood fell out of her bosom, and floated away with the water without her observing it, so great was her trouble. The waiting-maid, however, had seen it, and she rejoiced to think that she had now power over the bride, for since the princess had lost the drops of blood, she had become weak and powerless.",
    "So now when she wanted to mount her horse again, the one that was called falada, the waiting-maid said, falada is more suitable for me, and my nag will do for you, and the princess had to be content with that. Then the waiting-maid, with many hard words, bade the princess exchange her royal apparel for her own shabby clothes, and at length she was compelled to swear by the clear sky above her, that she would not say one word of this to anyone at the royal court, and if she had not taken this oath she would have been killed on the spot. But falada saw all this, and observed it well.",
    "The waiting-maid now mounted falada, and the true bride the bad horse, and thus they traveled onwards, until at length they entered the royal palace. There were great rejoicings over her arrival, and the prince sprang forward to meet her, lifted the waiting-maid from her horse, and thought she was his consort.",
    "She was conducted upstairs, but the real princess was left standing below. Then the old king looked out of the window and saw her standing in the courtyard, and noticed how dainty and delicate and beautiful she was, and instantly went to the royal apartment, and asked the bride about the girl she had with her who was standing down below in the courtyard, and who she was. I picked her up on my way for a companion, give the girl something to work at, that she may not stand idle.",
    "But the old king had no work for her, and knew of none, so he said, I have a little boy who tends the geese, she may help him. The boy was called conrad, and the true bride had to help him to tend the geese. Soon afterwards the false bride said to the young king, dearest husband, I beg you to do me a favor. He answered, I will do so most willingly. Then send for the knacker, and have the head of the horse on which I rode here cut off, for it vexed me on the way. In reality, she was afraid that the horse might tell how she had behaved to the king's daughter.",
    "Then she succeeded in making the king promise that it should be done, and the faithful falada was to die, this came to the ears of the real princess, and she secretly promised to pay the knacker a piece of gold if he would perform a small service for her. There was a great dark-looking gateway in the town, through which morning and evening she had to pass with the geese, would he be so goood as to nail up falada's head on it, so that she might see him again, more than once. The knacker's man promised to do that, and cut off the head, and nailed it fast beneath the dark gateway.",
    "Early in the morning, when she and conrad drove out their flock beneath this gateway, she said in passing, alas, falada, hanging there.",
    "Then the head answered, alas, young queen, how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "Then they went still further out of the town, and drove their geese into the country. And when they had come to the meadow, she sat down and unbound her hair which was like pure gold, and conrad saw it and delighted in its brightness, and wanted to pluck out a few hairs. Then she said, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.",
    "And there came such a violent wind that it blew conrad's hat far away across country, and he was forced to run after it. When he came back she had finished combing her hair and was putting it up again, and he could not get any of it. Then conrad was angry, and would not speak to her, and thus they watched the geese until the evening, and then they went home. Next day when they were driving the geese out through the dark gateway, the maiden said, alas, falada, hanging there.",
    "Falada answered, alas, young queen, how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "And she sat down again in the field and began to comb out her hair, and conrad ran and tried to clutch it, so she said in haste, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.",
    "Then the wind blew, and blew his little hat off his head and far away, and conrad was forced to run after it, and when he came back, her hair had been put up a long time, and he could get none of it, and so they looked after their geese till evening came.",
    "But in the evening after they had got home, conrad went to the old king, and said, I won't tend the geese with that girl any longer. Why not, inquired the aged king. Oh, because she vexes me the whole day long. Then the aged king commanded him to relate what it was that she did to him. And conrad said, in the morning when we pass beneath the dark gateway with the block, there is a horse's head on the wall, and she says to it, alas, falada, hanging there.",
    "And the head replies, alas, young queen how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "And conrad went on to relate what happened on the goose pasture, and how when there he had to chase his hat.",
    "The aged king commanded him to drive his block out again next day, and as soon as morning came, he placed himself behind the dark gateway, and heard how the maiden spoke to the head of falada, and then he too went into the country, and hid himself in the thicket in the meadow. There he soon saw with his own eyes the goose-girl and the goose-boy bringing their flock, and how after a while she sat down and unplaited her hair, which shone with radiance. And soon she said, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.",
    "Then came a blast of wind and carried off conrad's hat, so that he had to run far away, while the maiden quietly went on combing and plaiting her hair, all of which the king observed. Then, quite unseen, he went away, and when the goose-girl came home in the evening, he called her aside, and asked why she did all these things. I may not tell that, and I dare not lament my sorrows to any human being, for I have sworn not to do so by the heaven which is above me, if I had not done that, I should have lost my life.",
    "He urged her and left her no peace, but he could draw nothing from her. Then said he, if you will not tell me anything, tell your sorrows to the iron-stove there, and he went away. Then she crept into the iron-stove, and began to weep and lament, and emptied her whole heart, and said, here am I deserted by the whole world, and yet I am a king's daughter, and a false waiting-maid has by force brought me to such a pass that I have been compelled to put off my royal apparel, and she has taken my place with my bridegroom, and I have to perform menial service as a goose-girl if this my mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "The aged king, however, was standing outside by the pipe of the stove, and was listening to what she said, and heard it. Then he came back again, and bade her come out of the stove. And royal garments were placed on her, and it was marvellous how beautiful she was. The aged king summoned his son, and revealed to him that he had got the false bride who was only a waiting-maid, but that the true one was standing there, as the former goose-girl. The young king rejoiced with all his heart when he saw her beauty and youth, and a great feast was made ready to which all the people and all good friends were invited.",
    "At the head of the table sat the bridegroom with the king's daughter at one side of him, and the waiting-maid on the other, but the waiting-maid was blinded, and did not recognize the princess in her dazzling array. When they had eaten and drunk, and were merry, the aged king asked the waiting-maid as a riddle, what punishment a person deserved who had behaved in such and such a way to her master, and at the same time related the whole story, and asked what sentence such a person merited. Then the false bride said, she deserves no better fate than to be stripped entirely naked, and put in a barrel which is studded inside with pointed nails, and two white horses should be harnessed to it, which will drag her along through one street after another, till she is dead.",
    "It is you, said the aged king, and you have pronounced your own sentence, and thus shall it be done unto you. And when the sentence had been carried out, the young king married his true bride, and both of them reigned over their kingdom in peace and happiness."

The aged king summoned his son, and revealed to him that he had got the false bride who was only a waiting-maid, but that the true one was standing there, as the former goose-girl. The young king rejoiced with all his heart when he saw her beauty and youth, and a great feast was made ready to which all the people and all good friends were invited.",
    "At the head of the table sat the bridegroom with the king's daughter at one side of him, and the waiting-maid on the other, but the waiting-maid was blinded, and did not recognize the princess in her dazzling array.

Then the false bride said, she deserves no better fate than to be stripped entirely naked, and put in a barrel which is studded inside with pointed nails, and two white horses should be harnessed to it, which will drag her along through one street after another, till she is dead.",

  "clean_text": "There was once upon a time an old queen whose husband had been dead for many years, and she had a beautiful daughter. When the princess grew up she was betrothed to a prince who lived at a great distance. When the time came for her to be married, and she had to journey forth into the distant kingdom, the aged queen packed up for her many costly vessels of silver and gold, and trinkets also of gold and silver, and cups and jewels, in short, everything which appertained to a royal dowry, for she loved her child with all her heart.\n\nShe likewise sent her maid-in-waiting, who was to ride with her, and hand her over to the bridegroom, and each had a horse for the journey, but the horse of the king's daughter was called falada, and could speak. So when the hour of parting had come, the aged mother went into her bedroom, took a small knife and cut her finger with it until it bled. Then she held a white handkerchief to it into which she let three drops of blood fall, gave it to her daughter and said, dear child, preserve this carefully, it will be of service to you on your way.\n\nSo they took a sorrowful leave of each other, the princess put the piece of cloth in her bosom, mounted her horse, and then went away to her bridegroom. After she had ridden for a while she felt a burning thirst, and said to her waiting-maid, dismount, and take my cup which you have brought with you for me, and get me some water from the stream, for I should like to drink. If you are thirsty, said the waiting-maid, get off your horse yourself, and lie down and drink out of the water, I don't choose to be your servant.\n\nSo in her great thirst the princess alighted, bent down over the water in the stream and drank, and was not allowed to drink out of the golden cup. Then she said, ah, heaven, and the three drops of blood answered, if this your mother knew, her heart would break in two. But the king's daughter was humble, said nothing, and mounted her horse again.\n\nShe rode some miles further, but the day was warm, the sun scorched her, and she was thirsty once more, and when they came to a stream of water, she again cried to her waiting-maid, dismount, and give me some water in my golden cup, for she had long ago forgotten the girl's ill words. But the waiting-maid said still more haughtily, if you wish to drink, get it yourself, I don't choose to be your maid. Then in her great thirst the king's daughter alighted, bent over the flowing stream, wept and said, ah, heaven, and the drops of blood again replied, if this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.\n\nAnd as she was thus drinking and leaning right over the stream, the handkerchief with the three drops of blood fell out of her bosom, and floated away with the water without her observing it, so great was her trouble. The waiting-maid, however, had seen it, and she rejoiced to think that she had now power over the bride, for since the princess had lost the drops of blood, she had become weak and powerless.\n\nSo now when she wanted to mount her horse again, the one that was called falada, the waiting-maid said, falada is more suitable for me, and my nag will do for you, and the princess had to be content with that. Then the waiting-maid, with many hard words, bade the princess exchange her royal apparel for her own shabby clothes, and at length she was compelled to swear by the clear sky above her, that she would not say one word of this to anyone at the royal court, and if she had not taken this oath she would have been killed on the spot. But falada saw all this, and observed it well.\n\nThe waiting-maid now mounted falada, and the true bride the bad horse, and thus they traveled onwards, until at length they entered the royal palace. There were great rejoicings over her arrival, and the prince sprang forward to meet her, lifted the waiting-maid from her horse, and thought she was his consort.\n\nShe was conducted upstairs, but the real princess was left standing below. Then the old king looked out of the window and saw her standing in the courtyard, and noticed how dainty and delicate and beautiful she was, and instantly went to the royal apartment, and asked the bride about the girl she had with her who was standing down below in the courtyard, and who she was. I picked her up on my way for a companion, give the girl something to work at, that she may not stand idle.\n\nBut the old king had no work for her, and knew of none, so he said, I have a little boy who tends the geese, she may help him. The boy was called conrad, and the true bride had to help him to tend the geese. Soon afterwards the false bride said to the young king, dearest husband, I beg you to do me a favor. He answered, I will do so most willingly. Then send for the knacker, and have the head of the horse on which I rode here cut off, for it vexed me on the way. In reality, she was afraid that the horse might tell how she had behaved to the king's daughter.\n\nThen she succeeded in making the king promise that it should be done, and the faithful falada was to die, this came to the ears of the real princess, and she secretly promised to pay the knacker a piece of gold if he would perform a small service for her. There was a great dark-looking gateway in the town, through which morning and evening she had to pass with the geese, would he be so goood as to nail up falada's head on it, so that she might see him again, more than once. The knacker's man promised to do that, and cut off the head, and nailed it fast beneath the dark gateway.\n\nEarly in the morning, when she and conrad drove out their flock beneath this gateway, she said in passing, alas, falada, hanging there.\n\nThen the head answered, alas, young queen, how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.\n\nThen they went still further out of the town, and drove their geese into the country. And when they had come to the meadow, she sat down and unbound her hair which was like pure gold, and conrad saw it and delighted in its brightness, and wanted to pluck out a few hairs. Then she said, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.\n\nAnd there came such a violent wind that it blew conrad's hat far away across country, and he was forced to run after it. When he came back she had finished combing her hair and was putting it up again, and he could not get any of it. Then conrad was angry, and would not speak to her, and thus they watched the geese until the evening, and then they went home. Next day when they were driving the geese out through the dark gateway, the maiden said, alas, falada, hanging there.\n\nFalada answered, alas, young queen, how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.\n\nAnd she sat down again in the field and began to comb out her hair, and conrad ran and tried to clutch it, so she said in haste, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.\n\nThen the wind blew, and blew his little hat off his head and far away, and conrad was forced to run after it, and when he came back, her hair had been put up a long time, and he could get none of it, and so they looked after their geese till evening came.\n\nBut in the evening after they had got home, conrad went to the old king, and said, I won't tend the geese with that girl any longer. Why not, inquired the aged king. Oh, because she vexes me the whole day long. Then the aged king commanded him to relate what it was that she did to him. And conrad said, in the morning when we pass beneath the dark gateway with the block, there is a horse's head on the wall, and she says to it, alas, falada, hanging there.\n\nAnd the head replies, alas, young queen how ill you fare.

And when they had come to the meadow, she sat down and unbound her hair which was like pure gold, and conrad saw it and delighted in its brightness, and wanted to pluck out a few hairs. Then she said, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.",
    "And there came such a violent wind that it blew conrad's hat far away across country, and he was forced to run after it. When he came back she had finished combing her hair and was putting it up again, and he could not get any of it. Then conrad was angry, and would not speak to her, and thus they watched the geese until the evening, and then they went home. Next day when they were driving the geese out through the dark gateway, the maiden said, alas, falada, hanging there.",
    "Falada answered, alas, young queen, how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "And she sat down again in the field and began to comb out her hair, and conrad ran and tried to clutch it, so she said in haste, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.",
    "Then the wind blew, and blew his little hat off his head and far away, and conrad was forced to run after it, and when he came back, her hair had been put up a long time, and he could get none of it, and so they looked after their geese till evening came.",
    "But in the evening after they had got home, Conrad went to the old king, and said, I will not tend the geese with that girl any longer. Why not, inquired the aged king. Oh, because she vexes me the whole day long. Then the aged king commanded him to relate what it was that she did to him. And Conrad said, in the morning when we pass beneath the dark gateway with the block, there is a horse's head on the wall, and she says to it, alas, Falada, hanging there.",
    "And the head replies, alas, young queen how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "And conrad went on to relate what happened on the goose pasture, and how when there he had to chase his hat.",
    "The aged king commanded him to drive his block out again next day, and as soon as morning came, he placed himself behind the dark gateway, and heard how the maiden spoke to the head of falada, and then he too went into the country, and hid himself in the thicket in the meadow. There he soon saw with his own eyes the goose-girl and the goose-boy bringing their flock, and how after a while she sat down and unplaited her hair, which shone with radiance. And soon she said, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.",
    "Then came a blast of wind and carried off conrad's hat, so that he had to run far away, while the maiden quietly went on combing and plaiting her hair, all of which the king observed. Then, quite unseen, he went away, and when the goose-girl came home in the evening, he called her aside, and asked why she did all these things. I may not tell that, and I dare not lament my sorrows to any human being, for I have sworn not to do so by the heaven which is above me, if I had not done that, I should have lost my life.",
    "He urged her and left her no peace, but he could draw nothing from her. Then said he, if you will not tell me anything, tell your sorrows to the iron-stove there, and he went away. Then she crept into the iron-stove, and began to weep and lament, and emptied her whole heart, and said, here am I deserted by the whole world, and yet I am a king's daughter, and a false waiting-maid has by force brought me to such a pass that I have been compelled to put off my royal apparel, and she has taken my place with my bridegroom, and I have to perform menial service as a goose-girl if this my mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "The aged king, however, was standing outside by the pipe of the stove, and was listening to what she said, and heard it. Then he came back again, and bade her come out of the stove. And royal garments were placed on her, and it was marvellous how beautiful she was. The aged king summoned his son, and revealed to him that he had got the false bride who was only a waiting-maid, but that the true one was standing there, as the former goose-girl. The young king rejoiced with all his heart when he saw her beauty and youth, and a great feast was made ready to which all the people and all good friends were invited.",
    "At the head of the table sat the bridegroom with the king's daughter at one side of him, and the waiting-maid on the other, but the waiting-maid was blinded, and did not recognize the princess in her dazzling array. When they had eaten and drunk, and were merry, the aged king asked the waiting-maid as a riddle, what punishment a person deserved who had behaved in such and such a way to her master, and at the same time related the whole story, and asked what sentence such a person merited. Then the false bride said, she deserves no better fate than to be stripped entirely naked, and put in a barrel which is studded inside with pointed nails, and two white horses should be harnessed to it, which will drag her along through one street after another, till she is dead.",
    "It is you, said the aged king, and you have pronounced your own sentence, and thus shall it be done unto you. And when the sentence had been carried out, the young king married his true bride, and both of them reigned over their kingdom in peace and happiness."

  "speech_safe_text": "There was once upon a time an old queen whose husband had been dead for many years, and she had a beautiful daughter. When the princess grew up she was betrothed to a prince who lived at a great distance. When the time came for her to be married, and she had to journey forth into the distant kingdom, the aged queen packed up for her many costly vessels of silver and gold, and trinkets also of gold and silver, and cups and jewels, in short, everything which appertained to a royal dowry, for she loved her child with all her heart.\n\nShe likewise sent her maid-in-waiting, who was to ride with her, and hand her over to the bridegroom, and each had a horse for the journey, but the horse of the king's daughter was called falada, and could speak. So when the hour of parting had come, the aged mother went into her bedroom, took a small knife and cut her finger with it until it bled. Then she held a white handkerchief to it into which she let three drops of blood fall, gave it to her daughter and said, dear child, preserve this carefully, it will be of service to you on your way.\n\nSo they took a sorrowful leave of each other, the princess put the piece of cloth in her bosom, mounted her horse, and then went away to her bridegroom. After she had ridden for a while she felt a burning thirst, and said to her waiting-maid, dismount, and take my cup which you have brought with you for me, and get me some water from the stream, for I should like to drink. If you are thirsty, said the waiting-maid, get off your horse yourself, and lie down and drink out of the water, I do not choose to be your servant.\n\nSo in her great thirst the princess alighted, bent down over the water in the stream and drank, and was not allowed to drink out of the golden cup. Then she said, ah, heaven, and the three drops of blood answered, if this your mother knew, her heart would break in two. But the king's daughter was humble, said nothing, and mounted her horse again.\n\nShe rode some miles further, but the day was warm, the sun scorched her, and she was thirsty once more, and when they came to a stream of water, she again cried to her waiting-maid, dismount, and give me some water in my golden cup, for she had long ago forgotten the girl's ill words. But the waiting-maid said still more haughtily, if you wish to drink, get it yourself, I don't choose to be your maid. Then in her great thirst the king's daughter alighted, bent over the flowing stream, wept and said, ah, heaven, and the drops of blood again replied, if this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.\n\nAnd as she was thus drinking and leaning right over the stream, the handkerchief with the three drops of blood fell out of her bosom, and floated away with the water without her observing it, so great was her trouble. The waiting-maid, however, had seen it, and she rejoiced to think that she had now power over the bride, for since the princess had lost the drops of blood, she had become weak and powerless.\n\nSo now when she wanted to mount her horse again, the one that was called falada, the waiting-maid said, falada is more suitable for me, and my nag will do for you, and the princess had to be content with that. Then the waiting-maid, with many hard words, bade the princess exchange her royal apparel for her own shabby clothes, and at length she was compelled to swear by the clear sky above her, that she would not say one word of this to anyone at the royal court, and if she had not taken this oath she would have been killed on the spot. But falada saw all this, and observed it well.\n\nThe waiting-maid now mounted falada, and the true bride the bad horse, and thus they traveled onwards, until at length they entered the royal palace. There were great rejoicings over her arrival, and the prince sprang forward to meet her, lifted the waiting-maid from her horse, and thought she was his consort.\n\nShe was conducted upstairs, but the real princess was left standing below. Then the old king looked out of the window and saw her standing in the courtyard, and noticed how dainty and delicate and beautiful she was, and instantly went to the royal apartment, and asked the bride about the girl she had with her who was standing down below in the courtyard, and who she was. I picked her up on my way for a companion, give the girl something to work at, that she may not stand idle.\n\nBut the old king had no work for her, and knew of none, so he said, I have a little boy who tends the geese, she may help him. The boy was called conrad, and the true bride had to help him to tend the geese. Soon afterwards the false bride said to the young king, dearest husband, I beg you to do me a favor. He answered, I will do so most willingly. Then send for the knacker, and have the head of the horse on which I rode here cut off, for it vexed me on the way. In reality, she was afraid that the horse might tell how she had behaved to the king's daughter.\n\nThen she succeeded in making the king promise that it should be done, and the faithful falada was to die, this came to the ears of the real princess, and she secretly promised to pay the knacker a piece of gold if he would perform a small service for her. There was a great dark-looking gateway in the town, through which morning and evening she had to pass with the geese, would he be so goood as to nail up falada's head on it, so that she might see him again, more than once. The knacker's man promised to do that, and cut off the head, and nailed it fast beneath the dark gateway.\n\nEarly in the morning, when she and conrad drove out their flock beneath this gateway, she said in passing, alas, falada, hanging there.\n\nThen the head answered, alas, young queen, how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.\n\nThen they went still further out of the town, and drove their geese into the country. And when they had come to the meadow, she sat down and unbound her hair which was like pure gold, and conrad saw it and delighted in its brightness, and wanted to pluck out a few hairs.

    "There was once upon a time an old queen whose husband had been dead for many years, and she had a beautiful daughter. When the princess grew up she was betrothed to a prince who lived at a great distance. When the time came for her to be married, and she had to journey forth into the distant kingdom, the aged queen packed up for her many costly vessels of silver and gold, and trinkets also of gold and silver, and cups and jewels, in short, everything which appertained to a royal dowry, for she loved her child with all her heart.",
    "She likewise sent her maid-in-waiting, who was to ride with her, and hand her over to the bridegroom, and each had a horse for the journey, but the horse of the king's daughter was called falada, and could speak. So when the hour of parting had come, the aged mother went into her bedroom, took a small knife and cut her finger with it until it bled. Then she held a white handkerchief to it into which she let three drops of blood fall, gave it to her daughter and said, dear child, preserve this carefully, it will be of service to you on your way.",
    "So they took a sorrowful leave of each other, the princess put the piece of cloth in her bosom, mounted her horse, and then went away to her bridegroom. After she had ridden for a while she felt a burning thirst, and said to her waiting-maid, dismount, and take my cup which you have brought with you for me, and get me some water from the stream, for I should like to drink. If you are thirsty, said the waiting-maid, get off your horse yourself, and lie down and drink out of the water, I do not choose to be your servant.",
    "So in her great thirst the princess alighted, bent down over the water in the stream and drank, and was not allowed to drink out of the golden cup. Then she said, ah, heaven, and the three drops of blood answered, if this your mother knew, her heart would break in two. But the king's daughter was humble, said nothing, and mounted her horse again.",
    "She rode some miles further, but the day was warm, the sun scorched her, and she was thirsty once more, and when they came to a stream of water, she again cried to her waiting-maid, dismount, and give me some water in my golden cup, for she had long ago forgotten the girl's ill words. But the waiting-maid said still more haughtily, if you wish to drink, get it yourself, I don't choose to be your maid. Then in her great thirst the king's daughter alighted, bent over the flowing stream, wept and said, ah, heaven, and the drops of blood again replied, if this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "And as she was thus drinking and leaning right over the stream, the handkerchief with the three drops of blood fell out of her bosom, and floated away with the water without her observing it, so great was her trouble. The waiting-maid, however, had seen it, and she rejoiced to think that she had now power over the bride, for since the princess had lost the drops of blood, she had become weak and powerless.",
    "So now when she wanted to mount her horse again, the one that was called falada, the waiting-maid said, falada is more suitable for me, and my nag will do for you, and the princess had to be content with that. Then the waiting-maid, with many hard words, bade the princess exchange her royal apparel for her own shabby clothes, and at length she was compelled to swear by the clear sky above her, that she would not say one word of this to anyone at the royal court, and if she had not taken this oath she would have been killed on the spot. But falada saw all this, and observed it well.",
    "The waiting-maid now mounted falada, and the true bride the bad horse, and thus they traveled onwards, until at length they entered the royal palace. There were great rejoicings over her arrival, and the prince sprang forward to meet her, lifted the waiting-maid from her horse, and thought she was his consort.",
    "She was conducted upstairs, but the real princess was left standing below. Then the old king looked out of the window and saw her standing in the courtyard, and noticed how dainty and delicate and beautiful she was, and instantly went to the royal apartment, and asked the bride about the girl she had with her who was standing down below in the courtyard, and who she was. I picked her up on my way for a companion, give the girl something to work at, that she may not stand idle.",
    "But the old king had no work for her, and knew of none, so he said, I have a little boy who tends the geese, she may help him. The boy was called conrad, and the true bride had to help him to tend the geese. Soon afterwards the false bride said to the young king, dearest husband, I beg you to do me a favor. He answered, I will do so most willingly. Then send for the knacker, and have the head of the horse on which I rode here cut off, for it vexed me on the way. In reality, she was afraid that the horse might tell how she had behaved to the king's daughter.",
    "Then she succeeded in making the king promise that it should be done, and the faithful falada was to die, this came to the ears of the real princess, and she secretly promised to pay the knacker a piece of gold if he would perform a small service for her. There was a great dark-looking gateway in the town, through which morning and evening she had to pass with the geese, would he be so goood as to nail up falada's head on it, so that she might see him again, more than once. The knacker's man promised to do that, and cut off the head, and nailed it fast beneath the dark gateway.",
    "Early in the morning, when she and conrad drove out their flock beneath this gateway, she said in passing, alas, falada, hanging there.",
    "Then the head answered, alas, young queen, how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "Then they went still further out of the town, and drove their geese into the country. And when they had come to the meadow, she sat down and unbound her hair which was like pure gold, and conrad saw it and delighted in its brightness, and wanted to pluck out a few hairs. Then she said, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.",
    "And there came such a violent wind that it blew conrad's hat far away across country, and he was forced to run after it. When he came back she had finished combing her hair and was putting it up again, and he could not get any of it. Then conrad was angry, and would not speak to her, and thus they watched the geese until the evening, and then they went home. Next day when they were driving the geese out through the dark gateway, the maiden said, alas, falada, hanging there.",
    "Falada answered, alas, young queen, how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "And she sat down again in the field and began to comb out her hair, and conrad ran and tried to clutch it, so she said in haste, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.",
    "Then the wind blew, and blew his little hat off his head and far away, and conrad was forced to run after it, and when he came back, her hair had been put up a long time, and he could get none of it, and so they looked after their geese till evening came.",
    "But in the evening after they had got home, Conrad went to the old king, and said, I will not tend the geese with that girl any longer. Why not, inquired the aged king. Oh, because she vexes me the whole day long. Then the aged king commanded him to relate what it was that she did to him. And Conrad said, in the morning when we pass beneath the dark gateway with the block, there is a horse's head on the wall, and she says to it, alas, Falada, hanging there.",
    "And the head replies, alas, young queen how ill you fare. If this your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "And conrad went on to relate what happened on the goose pasture, and how when there he had to chase his hat.",
    "The aged king commanded him to drive his block out again next day, and as soon as morning came, he placed himself behind the dark gateway, and heard how the maiden spoke to the head of falada, and then he too went into the country, and hid himself in the thicket in the meadow. There he soon saw with his own eyes the goose-girl and the goose-boy bringing their flock, and how after a while she sat down and unplaited her hair, which shone with radiance. And soon she said, blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, blow conrad's little hat away, and make him chase it here and there, until I have braided all my hair, and bound it up again.",
    "Then came a blast of wind and carried off conrad's hat, so that he had to run far away, while the maiden quietly went on combing and plaiting her hair, all of which the king observed. Then, quite unseen, he went away, and when the goose-girl came home in the evening, he called her aside, and asked why she did all these things. I may not tell that, and I dare not lament my sorrows to any human being, for I have sworn not to do so by the heaven which is above me, if I had not done that, I should have lost my life.",
    "He urged her and left her no peace, but he could draw nothing from her. Then said he, if you will not tell me anything, tell your sorrows to the iron-stove there, and he went away. Then she crept into the iron-stove, and began to weep and lament, and emptied her whole heart, and said, here am I deserted by the whole world, and yet I am a king's daughter, and a false waiting-maid has by force brought me to such a pass that I have been compelled to put off my royal apparel, and she has taken my place with my bridegroom, and I have to perform menial service as a goose-girl if this my mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "The aged king, however, was standing outside by the pipe of the stove, and was listening to what she said, and heard it. Then he came back again, and bade her come out of the stove. And royal garments were placed on her, and it was marvellous how beautiful she was. The aged king summoned his son, and revealed to him that he had got the false bride who was only a waiting-maid, but that the true one was standing there, as the former goose-girl. The young king rejoiced with all his heart when he saw her beauty and youth, and a great feast was made ready to which all the people and all good friends were invited.",
    "At the head of the table sat the bridegroom with the king's daughter at one side of him, and the waiting-maid on the other, but the waiting-maid was blinded, and did not recognize the princess in her dazzling array. When they had eaten and drunk, and were merry, the aged king asked the waiting-maid as a riddle, what punishment a person deserved who had behaved in such and such a way to her master, and at the same time related the whole story, and asked what sentence such a person merited. Then the false bride said, she deserves no better fate than to be stripped entirely naked, and put in a barrel which is studded inside with pointed nails, and two white horses should be harnessed to it, which will drag her along through one street after another, till she is dead.",
    "It is you, said the aged king, and you have pronounced your own sentence, and thus shall it be done unto you. And when the sentence had been carried out, the young king married his true bride, and both of them reigned over their kingdom in peace and happiness."

    "Once upon a time, there was a kind old queen. Her husband had passed away a long time ago, but she had a beautiful daughter. When the princess grew up, she was promised to a prince who lived far away. When the time came for her to travel to his kingdom, the queen packed many special things for her. She packed shiny silver and gold cups, pretty jewels, and lovely trinkets. She packed everything a princess needs for her new home. She did this because she loved her daughter very much.",
    "She also sent her maid to ride with her. They each had a horse for the trip. The king's daughter’s horse had a special name. It was called Falada, and it could talk. When it was time to say goodbye, the kind old mother went into her room. She took a small knife and cut her finger until it hurt a little. Then she held up a white handkerchief. She let three drops of red blood fall onto it. She gave the handkerchief to her daughter and said, \"My dear child, keep this safe. It will help you on your long journey.",
    "So they said a sad goodbye. The princess tucked the soft cloth into her dress. She climbed onto her horse and rode away to meet her new husband. After a while, she felt very thirsty. She asked her maid, \"Please get off the horse. Take my cup and bring me some water from the stream. I am so thirsty.\" The maid smiled and said, \"If you are thirsty, get off the horse yourself. Drink from the water. I do not want to be your servant.",
    "So, she was very thirsty. She stopped at a stream and bent down to drink. But she could not use the golden cup. She said, \"Oh, dear.\" Then the drops of blood answered, \"If your mother knew, her heart would break.\" But the princess was kind and quiet. She said nothing and got back on her horse.",
    "She rode on for a while, but the sun was hot and the day was warm. She felt very thirsty again. When they came to a little stream, she called out to her waiting-maid. \"Please get off and give me some water in my golden cup,\" she said. She had forgotten the girl's mean words. But the waiting-maid was still very proud. \"If you want a drink, get it yourself,\" she said. \"I do not want to be your maid.\" Then, in her great thirst, the princess got off her horse. She bent down by the water and cried. \"Oh, dear,\" she said. The drops of water answered her, \"If your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "As she leaned over the stream to drink, the soft handkerchief slipped from her pocket. Three drops of bright red fell out and floated away on the water. She did not notice them because she was so sad. The waiting-maid saw the drops, though. She felt very happy. Now she had a secret power over the princess. Because the drops were gone, the princess felt very weak and could not fight back.",
    "So now when she wanted to get back on her horse, the waiting-maid said, \"Falada is better for me. My old horse will do for you.\" The princess had to be happy with that. Then the waiting-maid spoke in a mean way. She made the princess take off her beautiful dress and put on her old, dirty clothes. Finally, the princess had to promise to the bright sky above her that she would never tell anyone at the castle what happened. If she had not made that promise, she would have been hurt right then. But Falada saw everything. He watched them very closely.",
    "The waiting-maid got on the good horse, and the true bride got on the bad horse. They rode together until they reached the big royal palace. Everyone was so happy to see her. The prince ran forward to meet her. He lifted the waiting-maid off her horse and thought she was his beautiful bride.",
    "She was taken upstairs, but the real princess was left standing down below. Then the old king looked out of the window and saw her in the courtyard. He saw how pretty and gentle she was. He went to the royal room and asked the bride about the girl standing down there. He said, \"I picked her up on my way. I want to give her something to do so she does not have to stand still.",
    "But the old king had no work for her, and knew of none, so he said, \"I have a little boy who looks after the geese.

In reality, she was afraid the horse might tell the truth about how she had treated the king's daughter.",
    "Then she made the king promise to keep the horse safe. The kind princess heard about the plan. She secretly promised to pay a man a piece of gold if he would do a small favor for her. There was a dark gate in the town where she walked the geese every morning and evening. She asked him to please nail the horse's head to the gate. She wanted to see him one last time. The man promised to do it. He cut off the head and nailed it fast beneath the dark gate.",
    "Early in the morning, when she and Conrad drove their flock out under the big gate, she said to the horse, \"Oh, Falada, please listen to me.",
    "Then the head answered, \"Oh no, young queen, you look so sad. If your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "Then they went further out of town and drove their geese into the country. When they reached the green meadow, she sat down and let her golden hair fall loose.

    "The wind blew hard. It blew his little hat right off his head! It flew far away. Conrad had to run after it. When he came back, her hair was already tied up. He could not fix it. So, they just watched their geese until the sun went down.",
    "But in the evening after they got home, Conrad went to the old king. He said, \"I will not tend the geese with that girl any longer.\" \"Why not?\" asked the aged king. \"Oh, because she makes me sad all day long.\" Then the aged king told him to tell what she did.

    "You are the one,\" said the old king. \"You have spoken your own sentence, and it will be done to you. When the sentence was finished, the young king married his true love. They ruled the kingdom together in peace and happiness forever."

The real princess is standing right here.\" The young king was so happy to see her. He made a big party with all his friends and family.\n\nAt the head of the table sat the groom with the princess on one side and the waiting-maid on the other. But the waiting-maid could not see. She was blind, so she did not know the princess was sitting there. They ate and drank and were very happy. The old king asked the waiting-maid a question. He asked what punishment a person should get if they treated their master badly. He told the whole story and asked what sentence that person deserved. The false bride said, \"She deserves to be stripped naked. She should be put inside a barrel with sharp nails on the inside. Two white horses should pull the barrel down the street until she is gone.\n\nYou are the one,\" said the old king. \"You have spoken your own sentence, and it will be done to you. When the sentence was finished, the young king married his true love. They ruled the kingdom together in peace and happiness forever.",

    "Once upon a time, there was a kind old queen. Her husband had passed away a long time ago, but she had a beautiful daughter. When the princess grew up, she was promised to a prince who lived far away. When the time came for her to travel to his kingdom, the queen packed many special things for her. She packed shiny silver and gold cups, pretty jewels, and lovely trinkets. She packed everything a princess needs for her new home. She did this because she loved her daughter very much.",
    "She also sent her maid to ride with her. They each had a horse for the trip. The king's daughter’s horse had a special name. It was called Falada, and it could talk. When it was time to say goodbye, the kind old mother went into her room. She took a small knife and cut her finger until it hurt a little. Then she held up a white handkerchief. She let three drops of red blood fall onto it. She gave the handkerchief to her daughter and said, \"My dear child, keep this safe. It will help you on your long journey.",
    "So they said a sad goodbye. The princess tucked the soft cloth into her dress. She climbed onto her horse and rode away to meet her new husband. After a while, she felt very thirsty. She asked her maid, \"Please get off the horse. Take my cup and bring me some water from the stream. I am so thirsty.\" The maid smiled and said, \"If you are thirsty, get off the horse yourself. Drink from the water. I do not want to be your servant.",
    "So, she was very thirsty. She stopped at a stream and bent down to drink. But she could not use the golden cup. She said, \"Oh, dear.\" Then the drops of blood answered, \"If your mother knew, her heart would break.\" But the princess was kind and quiet. She said nothing and got back on her horse.",
    "She rode on for a while, but the sun was hot and the day was warm. She felt very thirsty again. When they came to a little stream, she called out to her waiting-maid. \"Please get off and give me some water in my golden cup,\" she said. She had forgotten the girl's mean words. But the waiting-maid was still very proud. \"If you want a drink, get it yourself,\" she said. \"I do not want to be your maid.\" Then, in her great thirst, the princess got off her horse. She bent down by the water and cried. \"Oh, dear,\" she said. The drops of water answered her, \"If your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "As she leaned over the stream to drink, the soft handkerchief slipped from her pocket. Three drops of bright red fell out and floated away on the water. She did not notice them because she was so sad. The waiting-maid saw the drops, though. She felt very happy. Now she had a secret power over the princess. Because the drops were gone, the princess felt very weak and could not fight back.",
    "So now when she wanted to get back on her horse, the waiting-maid said, \"Falada is better for me. My old horse will do for you.\" The princess had to be happy with that. Then the waiting-maid spoke in a mean way. She made the princess take off her beautiful dress and put on her old, dirty clothes. Finally, the princess had to promise to the bright sky above her that she would never tell anyone at the castle what happened. If she had not made that promise, she would have been hurt right then. But Falada saw everything. He watched them very closely.",
    "The waiting-maid got on the good horse, and the true bride got on the bad horse. They rode together until they reached the big royal palace. Everyone was so happy to see her. The prince ran forward to meet her. He lifted the waiting-maid off her horse and thought she was his beautiful bride.",
    "She was taken upstairs, but the real princess was left standing down below. Then the old king looked out of the window and saw her in the courtyard. He saw how pretty and gentle she was. He went to the royal room and asked the bride about the girl standing down there. He said, \"I picked her up on my way. I want to give her something to do so she does not have to stand still.",
    "But the old king had no work for her, and knew of none, so he said, \"I have a little boy who looks after the geese. She can help him.\" The boy was called Conrad, and the true bride had to help him watch the geese. Soon afterwards, the false bride said to the young king, \"My dear husband, please do me a favor.\" He answered, \"I will do so most willingly.\" Then she asked him to send for the knacker and have the head of the horse she rode cut off, because it had annoyed her on the way. In reality, she was afraid the horse might tell the truth about how she had treated the king's daughter.",
    "Then she made the king promise to keep the horse safe. The kind princess heard about the plan. She secretly promised to pay a man a piece of gold if he would do a small favor for her. There was a dark gate in the town where she walked the geese every morning and evening. She asked him to please nail the horse's head to the gate. She wanted to see him one last time. The man promised to do it. He cut off the head and nailed it fast beneath the dark gate.",
    "Early in the morning, when she and Conrad drove their flock out under the big gate, she said to the horse, \"Oh, Falada, please listen to me.",
    "Then the head answered, \"Oh no, young queen, you look so sad. If your mother knew, her heart would break in two.",
    "Then they went further out of town and drove their geese into the country. When they reached the green meadow, she sat down and let her golden hair fall loose. Conrad saw it and loved its shiny glow. He wanted to pull a few hairs. Then she said, \"Blow, blow, you gentle wind. Please blow Conrad's little hat away. Make him run after it here and there, while I finish braiding my hair.",
    "A strong wind blew Conrad’s hat far away. He had to run after it. When he came back, she had finished combing her hair and was putting it up again. He could not get any of it. Conrad was angry and did not speak to her. They watched the geese until the evening, and then they went home. The next day, they drove the geese out through the dark gateway. The maiden said, \"Alas, Falada, hanging there.",
    "Falada answered, \"Oh no, young queen, you look so sad. If your mother knew how you feel, her heart would break in two.",
    "She sat down in the field again and started to comb out her long hair. Conrad ran over and tried to grab it, so she said quickly, \"Blow, blow, you gentle wind. Please blow Conrad's little hat away! Make him run after it here and there, so I can finish braiding my hair.",
    "The wind blew hard. It blew his little hat right off his head! It flew far away. Conrad had to run after it. When he came back, her hair was already tied up. He could not fix it. So, they just watched their geese until the sun went down.",
    "But in the evening after they got home, Conrad went to the old king. He said, \"I will not tend the geese with that girl any longer.\" \"Why not?\" asked the aged king. \"Oh, because she makes me sad all day long.\" Then the aged king told him to tell what she did. Conrad said, \"In the morning when we walk under the big gate, there is a horse's head on the wall. She speaks to it and says, 'Oh, Falada, hanging there.'",
    "The head answers, \"Oh no, young queen, you look so sad. If your mother knew, she would be so upset.",
    "And Conrad went on to tell them what happened on the green grass where the geese lived. He told them how he had to run fast to catch his hat.",
    "The old king told him to drive the block out again the next day. As soon as the sun came up, he hid behind the dark gate. He listened closely as the girl spoke to the horse's head. Then, he went into the fields and hid in the tall grass. There, he saw the girl and the boy with their flock. After a while, she sat down and took out her long, shiny hair. She smiled and said, \"Blow, blow, you gentle wind. Please blow Conrad's little hat away. Make him run after it while I finish braiding my hair.",
    "Then a strong wind blew and took Conrad’s hat away. He had to run far away to get it. The girl just kept combing and braiding her hair. The king saw everything. He quietly walked away. When the goose-girl came home in the evening, he called her to him. He asked why she did those things. \"I cannot tell you,\" she said softly. \"I am too afraid to talk about my sad feelings to anyone. I made a promise to the sky above me. I promised not to speak. If I had told my secret, I would have lost my life.",
    "He kept asking her, but she would not say a word. Then he said, \"If you will not tell me, go cry to the iron stove over there.\" He walked away. The girl crept inside the warm stove. She cried and cried, telling it all her sad feelings. She said, \"I am all alone in the world. I am a princess, but a bad maid has made me wear old clothes. She took my place with my husband, and now I have to take care of the geese. If my mother knew this, her heart would break in two.",
    "The old king was standing right by the stove, listening to her. He came back inside and asked her to come out. They put beautiful royal clothes on her, and she looked lovely. The old king called his son and told him, \"I found the false bride. She was just a waiting-maid. The real princess is standing right here.\" The young king was so happy to see her. He made a big party with all his friends and family.",

    "You are the one,\" said the old king. \"You have spoken your own sentence, and it will be done to you. When the sentence was finished, the young king married his true love. They ruled the kingdom together in peace and happiness forever."
