    "There was once upon a time a princess who was extremely proud. If a wooer came she gave him some riddle to guess, and if he could not guess it, he was sent contemptuously away. She let it be made known also that whosoever solved her riddle should marry her, let him be who he might. At length, three tailors fell in with each other, the two eldest of whom thought they had done so many dexterous jobs of work successfully that they could not fail to succeed in this also, the third was a little, useless harum-scarum, who did not even know his trade, but thought he must have some luck in this venture, for where else was it to come from. Then the two others said to him, just stay at home, you cannot do much with your little understanding. The little tailor, however, did not let himself be discouraged, and said he had set his mind to work on this for once, and he would manage well enough, and he went forth as if the whole world were his.",
    "They all three announced themselves to the princess, and said she was to propound her riddle to them, and that the right persons were now come, who had understandings so fine that they could be threaded in a needle. Then said the princess, \"I have two kinds of hair on my head, of what color is it.\" \"If that be all,\" said the first, \"it must be black and white, like the cloth which is called pepper and salt.\" The princess said, \"Wrongly guessed, let the second answer.\" Then said the second, \"If it be not black and white, then it is brown and red, like my father's sunday coat.\" \"Wrongly guessed,\" said the princess, \"let the third give the answer for I see very well he knows it for certain.\" Then the little tailor stepped boldly forth and said, \"The princess has a silver and a golden hair on her head, and those are the two different colors.\"",
    "When the princess heard that, she turned pale and nearly fell down with terror, for the little tailor had guessed her riddle, and she had firmly believed that no man on earth could discover it. When her courage returned she said, \"You have not won me yet by that. There is still something else that you must do. Below, in the stable is a bear with which you shall pass the night, and when I get up in the morning if you are still alive, you shall marry me.\" She expected, however, she would thus get rid of the tailor, for the bear had never yet left anyone alive who had fallen into his clutches. The little tailor did not let himself be frightened away, but was quite delighted, and said, \"Boldly ventured is half won.\"",
    "So when the evening came, our little tailor was taken down to the bear. The bear was about to set on the little fellow at once, and give him a hearty welcome with his paws. \"Softly, softly,\" said the little tailor, \"I will soon make you quiet.\" Then quite composedly, and as if he had no anxiety in the world, he took some nuts out of his pocket, cracked them, and ate the kernels. When the bear saw that, he was seized with a desire to have some nuts too. The tailor felt in his pockets, and reached him a handful, they were, however, not nuts, but pebbles. The bear put them in his mouth, but could get nothing out of them, let him bite as he would. \"Eh,\" thought he, \"what a stupid blockhead am I, I cannot even crack a nut.\" And then he said to the tailor, \"Here, crack me the nuts.\" \"There, see what a stupid fellow you are,\" said the little tailor, \"to have such a great mouth, and not be able to crack a small nut.\" Then he took the pebble and nimbly put a nut in his mouth in the place of it, and crack, it was in two. \"I must try the thing again,\" said the bear, \"when I watch you, I then think I ought to be able to do it too.\" So the tailor once more gave him a pebble, and the bear tried and tried to bite into it with all the strength of his body. But even you do not believe that he managed it.",
    "When that was over, the tailor took out a violin from beneath his coat, and played something to himself. When the bear heard the music, he could not help beginning to dance, and when he had danced a while, the thing pleased him so well that he said to the little tailor, \"Listen, is it difficult to fiddle?\" \"Easy enough for a child. Look, with the left hand I lay my fingers on it, and with the right I stroke it with the bow, and then it goes merrily, hop sa sa vivallalera.\" \"So,\" said the bear, \"fiddling is a thing I should like to learn too, that I might dance whenever I felt like it. What do you think of that? Will you give me lessons?\" \"With all my heart,\" said the tailor, \"if you have a talent for it. But just let me see your claws, they are terribly long, I must cut your nails a little.\" Then a vise was brought, and the bear put his claws in it, and the little tailor screwed it tight, and said, \"Now wait until I come with the scissors.\" And he let the bear growl as he liked, and lay down in the corner on a bundle of straw, and fell asleep.",
    "When the princess heard the bear growling so fiercely during the night, she believed nothing else but that he was growling for joy, and had made an end of the tailor. In the morning she arose careless and happy, but when she peeped into the stable, the tailor stood gaily before her, and was as healthy as a fish in water. Now she could not say another word against the wedding because she had given a promise before everyone, and the king ordered a carriage to be brought in which she was to drive to church with the tailor, and there she was to be married.",
    "When they had climbed into the carriage, the two other tailors, who had false hearts and envied him his good fortune, went into the stable and unscrewed the bear again. The bear in great fury ran after the carriage. The princess heard snorting and growling. She was terrified, and she cried, \"Ah, the bear is behind us and wants to get you.\" The tailor was quick and stood on his head, stuck his legs out of the window, and cried, \"Do you see the vise? If you do not be off you shall be put into it again.\" When the bear saw that, he turned round and ran away. The tailor drove quietly to church, and the princess was married to him at once, and he lived with her as happy as a woodlark. Whosoever does not believe this, must pay a taler."

    "There was once upon a time a princess who was extremely proud. If a wooer came she gave him some riddle to guess, and if he could not guess it, he was sent contemptuously away. She let it be made known also that whosoever solved her riddle should marry her, let him be who he might. At length, three tailors fell in with each other, the two eldest of whom thought they had done so many dexterous jobs of work successfully that they could not fail to succeed in this also, the third was a little, useless harum-scarum, who did not even know his trade, but thought he must have some luck in this venture, for where else was it to come from. Then the two others said to him, just stay at home, you cannot do much with your little understanding. The little tailor, however, did not let himself be discouraged, and said he had set his mind to work on this for once, and he would manage well enough, and he went forth as if the whole world were his.",
    "They all three announced themselves to the princess, and said she was to propound her riddle to them, and that the right persons were now come, who had understandings so fine that they could be threaded in a needle. Then said the princess, \"I have two kinds of hair on my head, of what color is it.\" \"If that be all,\" said the first, \"it must be black and white, like the cloth which is called pepper and salt.\" The princess said, \"Wrongly guessed, let the second answer.\" Then said the second, \"If it be not black and white, then it is brown and red, like my father's sunday coat.\" \"Wrongly guessed,\" said the princess, \"let the third give the answer for I see very well he knows it for certain.\" Then the little tailor stepped boldly forth and said, \"The princess has a silver and a golden hair on her head, and those are the two different colors.\"",
    "When the princess heard that, she turned pale and nearly fell down with terror, for the little tailor had guessed her riddle, and she had firmly believed that no man on earth could discover it. When her courage returned she said, \"You have not won me yet by that. There is still something else that you must do. Below, in the stable is a bear with which you shall pass the night, and when I get up in the morning if you are still alive, you shall marry me.\" She expected, however, she would thus get rid of the tailor, for the bear had never yet left anyone alive who had fallen into his clutches. The little tailor did not let himself be frightened away, but was quite delighted, and said, \"Boldly ventured is half won.\"",
    "So when the evening came, our little tailor was taken down to the bear. The bear was about to set on the little fellow at once, and give him a hearty welcome with his paws. \"Softly, softly,\" said the little tailor, \"I will soon make you quiet.\" Then quite composedly, and as if he had no anxiety in the world, he took some nuts out of his pocket, cracked them, and ate the kernels. When the bear saw that, he was seized with a desire to have some nuts too. The tailor felt in his pockets, and reached him a handful, they were, however, not nuts, but pebbles. The bear put them in his mouth, but could get nothing out of them, let him bite as he would. \"Eh,\" thought he, \"what a stupid blockhead am I, I cannot even crack a nut.\" And then he said to the tailor, \"Here, crack me the nuts.\" \"There, see what a stupid fellow you are,\" said the little tailor, \"to have such a great mouth, and not be able to crack a small nut.\" Then he took the pebble and nimbly put a nut in his mouth in the place of it, and crack, it was in two. \"I must try the thing again,\" said the bear, \"when I watch you, I then think I ought to be able to do it too.\" So the tailor once more gave him a pebble, and the bear tried and tried to bite into it with all the strength of his body. But even you do not believe that he managed it.",
    "When that was over, the tailor took out a violin from beneath his coat, and played something to himself. When the bear heard the music, he could not help beginning to dance, and when he had danced a while, the thing pleased him so well that he said to the little tailor, \"Listen, is it difficult to fiddle?\" \"Easy enough for a child. Look, with the left hand I lay my fingers on it, and with the right I stroke it with the bow, and then it goes merrily, hop sa sa vivallalera.\" \"So,\" said the bear, \"fiddling is a thing I should like to learn too, that I might dance whenever I felt like it. What do you think of that? Will you give me lessons?\" \"With all my heart,\" said the tailor, \"if you have a talent for it. But just let me see your claws, they are terribly long, I must cut your nails a little.\" Then a vise was brought, and the bear put his claws in it, and the little tailor screwed it tight, and said, \"Now wait until I come with the scissors.\" And he let the bear growl as he liked, and lay down in the corner on a bundle of straw, and fell asleep.",
    "When the princess heard the bear growling so fiercely during the night, she believed nothing else but that he was growling for joy, and had made an end of the tailor. In the morning she arose careless and happy, but when she peeped into the stable, the tailor stood gaily before her, and was as healthy as a fish in water. Now she could not say another word against the wedding because she had given a promise before everyone, and the king ordered a carriage to be brought in which she was to drive to church with the tailor, and there she was to be married.",
    "When they had climbed into the carriage, the two other tailors, who had false hearts and envied him his good fortune, went into the stable and unscrewed the bear again. The bear in great fury ran after the carriage. The princess heard snorting and growling. She was terrified, and she cried, \"Ah, the bear is behind us and wants to get you.\" The tailor was quick and stood on his head, stuck his legs out of the window, and cried, \"Do you see the vise? If you do not be off you shall be put into it again.\" When the bear saw that, he turned round and ran away. The tailor drove quietly to church, and the princess was married to him at once, and he lived with her as happy as a woodlark. Whosoever does not believe this, must pay a taler."

    "Once upon a time, there was a princess who was very proud. If a boy came to visit her, she gave him a puzzle to solve. If he could not guess the answer, she sent him away with a smile. She said that anyone who could solve her puzzle could marry her, no matter who he was.\n\nThree tailors met one day. The two older ones were very good at their jobs. They thought they would surely win the princess’s heart. The third tailor was small and silly. He did not know how to sew very well. He thought he might get lucky this time, since he had no other choice. The two older tailors laughed at him. They told him to stay home, because he was too silly to help.",
    "The little tailor did not feel sad at all. He decided to work hard. He said, \"I will do this job well!\" He walked out the door. He felt brave, as if the whole world was his.",
    "The three men stepped forward and told the princess they were ready to solve her riddle. They said they were very smart and could be threaded like a tiny needle. The princess smiled and asked, \"I have two kinds of hair on my head. What color is it?\" The first man thought for a moment and said, \"It must be black and white, like pepper and salt.\" The princess shook her head gently. \"That is not right,\" she said. Then the second man spoke up. \"If it is not black and white, then it is brown and red, like my father's Sunday coat.\" The princess smiled kindly. \"That is not right either,\" she said. \"Let the third man try, because I can see he knows the answer for sure.",
    "Then the little tailor stepped forward and said, \"The princess has a silver hair and a golden hair on her head. Those are the two different colors.",
    "The princess went very pale. She almost fell down with fear. The little tailor had guessed her riddle. She had thought no one could ever solve it. But when she felt brave again, she spoke. \"You have not won me yet. There is still one more thing you must do. Down in the stable, there is a big bear. You must sleep there tonight. If you are still alive when I wake up, you may marry me.\" She thought this was a good plan. She wanted to get rid of the tailor. She knew the bear was very strong. He had never let anyone go who had gone into his room. The little tailor was not scared. He was happy. He smiled and said, \"If you are brave, you are already halfway there.",
    "When the evening came, our little tailor was taken down to the bear. The bear was about to grab him right away. \"Wait, wait,\" said the little tailor. \"I will make you quiet in a moment.\" Then, looking very calm, he took some nuts from his pocket. He cracked them and ate the kernels. The bear saw this and wanted some nuts too. The tailor felt in his pockets and gave him a handful. But they were not nuts; they were just pebbles. The bear put them in his mouth, but he could not get them out, no matter how hard he bit. \"Oh dear,\" thought he. \"What a silly bear I am. I cannot even crack a nut.\" Then he asked the tailor, \"Please, crack the nuts for me.",
    "There, look how silly you are,\" said the little tailor. \"You have such a big mouth, but you cannot even crack a small nut.\" Then he took a small stone and put it in his mouth instead. *Crack!* The stone broke in two. \"I want to try that too,\" said the bear. \"If I watch you, I think I can do it.\" So the tailor gave him another stone. The bear tried very hard to bite it, but he could not do it.",
    "When that was over, the tailor took out a violin from beneath his coat and played something to himself. When the bear heard the music, he could not help beginning to dance. When he had danced a while, the thing pleased him so well that he said to the little tailor, \"Listen, is it hard to play the violin?\"\n\n\"Easy enough for a child,\" said the tailor. \"Look, with my left hand I lay my fingers on it, and with my right I stroke it with the bow, and then it goes merrily, hop sa sa vivallalera.\"\n\n\"So,\" said the bear, \"playing the violin is a thing I should like to learn too, that I might dance whenever I felt like it. What do you think of that? Will you give me lessons?\"\n\n\"With all my heart,\" said the tailor, \"if you have a talent for it.",
    "But just let me see your claws, they are terribly long, I must cut your nails a little.\" Then a strong clamp was brought, and the bear put his claws in it. The little tailor turned the handle tight. He said, \"Now wait until I come with the scissors.\" And he let the bear growl as he liked. He lay down in the corner on a soft bundle of straw and fell fast asleep.",
    "When the princess heard the bear growling so fiercely during the night, she thought he was just happy and playing. In the morning, she felt light and happy. She looked into the stable and saw the tailor standing there, looking as healthy as a fish in water. Now she could not say no to the wedding because she had promised everyone. The king brought a nice carriage for them to ride to church, and there they would get married.",
    "When they climbed into the carriage, the two other tailors, who were jealous and had mean hearts, went to the stable. They took the screws out of the bear again. The bear was very angry and ran after the carriage. The princess heard the bear snort and growl. She was scared and cried, \"Oh no! The bear is behind us and wants to get you!\"\n\nThe tailor was quick. He stood on his head and stuck his legs out the window. He shouted, \"Do you see the big machine? If you do not go away, I will put you in it again!\" When the bear saw this, he turned around and ran far away. The tailor drove quietly to the church. The princess married him right away. They lived together and were as happy as a little bird. If you do not believe this, you must pay a coin."

  "child_friendly_text": "Once upon a time, there was a princess who was very proud. If a boy came to visit her, she gave him a puzzle to solve. If he could not guess the answer, she sent him away with a smile. She said that anyone who could solve her puzzle could marry her, no matter who he was.\n\nThree tailors met one day. The two older ones were very good at their jobs. They thought they would surely win the princess’s heart. The third tailor was small and silly. He did not know how to sew very well. He thought he might get lucky this time, since he had no other choice. The two older tailors laughed at him. They told him to stay home, because he was too silly to help.\n\nThe little tailor did not feel sad at all. He decided to work hard. He said, \"I will do this job well!\" He walked out the door. He felt brave, as if the whole world was his.\n\nThe three men stepped forward and told the princess they were ready to solve her riddle. They said they were very smart and could be threaded like a tiny needle. The princess smiled and asked, \"I have two kinds of hair on my head. What color is it?\" The first man thought for a moment and said, \"It must be black and white, like pepper and salt.\" The princess shook her head gently. \"That is not right,\" she said. Then the second man spoke up. \"If it is not black and white, then it is brown and red, like my father's Sunday coat.\" The princess smiled kindly. \"That is not right either,\" she said. \"Let the third man try, because I can see he knows the answer for sure.\n\nThen the little tailor stepped forward and said, \"The princess has a silver hair and a golden hair on her head. Those are the two different colors.\n\nThe princess went very pale. She almost fell down with fear. The little tailor had guessed her riddle. She had thought no one could ever solve it. But when she felt brave again, she spoke. \"You have not won me yet. There is still one more thing you must do. Down in the stable, there is a big bear. You must sleep there tonight. If you are still alive when I wake up, you may marry me.\" She thought this was a good plan. She wanted to get rid of the tailor. She knew the bear was very strong. He had never let anyone go who had gone into his room. The little tailor was not scared. He was happy. He smiled and said, \"If you are brave, you are already halfway there.\n\nWhen the evening came, our little tailor was taken down to the bear. The bear was about to grab him right away. \"Wait, wait,\" said the little tailor. \"I will make you quiet in a moment.\" Then, looking very calm, he took some nuts from his pocket. He cracked them and ate the kernels. The bear saw this and wanted some nuts too. The tailor felt in his pockets and gave him a handful. But they were not nuts; they were just pebbles. The bear put them in his mouth, but he could not get them out, no matter how hard he bit. \"Oh dear,\" thought he. \"What a silly bear I am. I cannot even crack a nut.\" Then he asked the tailor, \"Please, crack the nuts for me.\n\nThere, look how silly you are,\" said the little tailor. \"You have such a big mouth, but you cannot even crack a small nut.\" Then he took a small stone and put it in his mouth instead. *Crack!* The stone broke in two. \"I want to try that too,\" said the bear. \"If I watch you, I think I can do it.\" So the tailor gave him another stone. The bear tried very hard to bite it, but he could not do it.\n\nWhen that was over, the tailor took out a violin from beneath his coat and played something to himself. When the bear heard the music, he could not help beginning to dance. When he had danced a while, the thing pleased him so well that he said to the little tailor, \"Listen, is it hard to play the violin?\"\n\n\"Easy enough for a child,\" said the tailor. \"Look, with my left hand I lay my fingers on it, and with my right I stroke it with the bow, and then it goes merrily, hop sa sa vivallalera.\"\n\n\"So,\" said the bear, \"playing the violin is a thing I should like to learn too, that I might dance whenever I felt like it. What do you think of that? Will you give me lessons?\"\n\n\"With all my heart,\" said the tailor, \"if you have a talent for it.\n\nBut just let me see your claws, they are terribly long, I must cut your nails a little.\" Then a strong clamp was brought, and the bear put his claws in it. The little tailor turned the handle tight. He said, \"Now wait until I come with the scissors.\" And he let the bear growl as he liked. He lay down in the corner on a soft bundle of straw and fell fast asleep.\n\nWhen the princess heard the bear growling so fiercely during the night, she thought he was just happy and playing. In the morning, she felt light and happy. She looked into the stable and saw the tailor standing there, looking as healthy as a fish in water. Now she could not say no to the wedding because she had promised everyone. The king brought a nice carriage for them to ride to church, and there they would get married.\n\nWhen they climbed into the carriage, the two other tailors, who were jealous and had mean hearts, went to the stable.
