    "Once upon a time lived a man and a woman who so long as they were rich had no children, but when they were poor they got a little boy. They could find no godfather for him, so the man said he would just go to another village to see if he could get one there. On his way he met a poor man, who asked him where he was going. He said he was going to see if he could get a godfather, because he was so poor that no one would stand as godfather for him. \"Oh,\" said the poor man, \"you are poor, and I am poor. I will be godfather for you, but I am so badly off I can give the child nothing. Go home and tell the midwife that she is to come to the church with the child.\" When they all got to the church together, the beggar was already there, and he gave the child the name of Ferdinand the Faithful.",
    "When he was going out of the church, the beggar said, \"Now go home, I can give you nothing, and you likewise ought to give me nothing.\" But he gave a key to the midwife, and told her when she got home she was to give it to the father, who was to take care of it until the child was fourteen years old, and then he was to go on the heath where there was a castle which the key would fit, and that all which was therein should belong to him.",
    "Now when the child was seven years old and had grown very big, he once went to play with some other boys, and each of them boasted that he had got more from his godfather than the other, but the child could say nothing, and was vexed, and went home and said to his father, \"Did I get nothing at all, then, from my godfather?\" \"Oh, yes,\" said the father, \"you have a key. If there is a castle standing on the heath, just go to it and open it.\" Then the boy went thither, but no castle was to be seen, or heard of.",
    "After seven years more, when he was fourteen years old, he again went thither, and there stood the castle. When he had opened it, there was nothing within but a horse, - a white one. Then the boy was so full of joy because he had a horse, that he mounted on it and galloped back to his father. \"Now I have a white horse, and I will travel,\" said he.",
    "So he set out, and as he was on his way, a pen was lying on the road. At first he thought he would pick it up, but then again he thought to himself, \"You should leave it lying there, you will easily find a pen where you are going, if you have need of one.\" As he was thus riding away, a voice called after him, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, take it with you.\" He looked around, but saw no one, so he went back again and picked it up.",
    "When he had ridden a little way farther, he passed by a lake, and a fish was lying on the bank, gasping and panting for breath, so he said, \"Wait, my dear fish, I will help you to get into the water,\" and he took hold of it by the tail, and threw it into the lake. Then the fish put its head out of the water and said, \"As you have helped me out of the mud I will give you a flute. When you are in any need, play on it, and then I will help you, and if ever you let anything fall in the water, just play and I will reach it out to you.\"",
    "Then he rode away, and there came to him a man who asked him where he was going. \"Oh, to the next place.\" \"What is your name?\" \"Ferdinand the Faithful.\" \"So, then we have almost the same name, I am called Ferdinand the Unfaithful.\" And they both set out to the inn in the nearest place.",
    "Now it was unfortunate that Ferdinand the Unfaithful knew everything that the other had ever thought and everything he was about to do. He knew it by means of all kinds of wicked arts. There was in the inn an honest girl, who had a bright face and behaved very prettily. She fell in love with Ferdinand the Faithful because he was a handsome man, and she asked him whither he was going. \"Oh, I am just traveling round about,\" said he. Then she said he ought to stay there, for the king of that country wanted an attendant or an outrider, and he ought to enter his service. He answered he could not very well go to any one like that and offer himself. Then said the maiden, \"Oh, but I will soon do that for you.\" And so she went straight to the king, and told him that she knew of an excellent servant for him. He was well pleased with that, and had Ferdinand the Faithful brought to him, and wanted to make him his servant. He, however, liked better to be an outrider, for where his horse was, there he also wanted to be, so the king made him an outrider.",
    "When Ferdinand the Unfaithful learnt that, he said to the girl, \"What? Do you help him and not me?\" \"Oh,\" said the girl, \"I will help you too.\" She thought, I must keep friends with that man, for he is not to be trusted. She went to the king, and offered him as a servant, and the king was willing.",
    "Now when the king met his lords in the morning, he always lamented and said, \"Oh, if I only had my love with me.\" Ferdinand the Unfaithful, however, was always hostile to Ferdinand the Faithful. So once, when the king was complaining thus, he said, \"You have the outrider, send him away to get her, and if he does not do it, his head must be struck off.\" Then the king sent for Ferdinand the Faithful, and told him that there was, in this place or in that place, a girl he loved, and that he was to bring her to him, and if he did not do it he should die. Ferdinand the Faithful went into the stable to his white horse, and complained and lamented, \"Oh, what an unhappy man am I.\" Then someone behind him cried, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, why do you weep?\" He looked round but saw no one, and went on lamenting. \"Oh, my dear little white horse, now must I leave you, now I must die.\" Then someone cried once more, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, why do you weep?\" Then for the first time he was aware that it was his little white horse who was putting that question. \"Do you speak, my little white horse? Can you do that?\" And again, he said, \"I am to go to this place and to that, and am to bring the bride. Can you tell me how I am to set about it?\" Then answered the white horse, \"Go to the king, and say if he will give you what you must have, you will get her for him. If he will give you a ship full of meat, and a ship full of bread, it will succeed. Great giants dwell on the lake, and if you take no meat with you for them, they will tear you to pieces, and there are the large birds which would pluck the eyes out of your head if you had no bread for them. Then the king made all the butchers in the land kill, and all the bakers bake, that the ships might be filled.\"",
    "When they were full, the little white horse said to Ferdinand the Faithful, \"Now mount me, and go with me into the ship, and then when the giants come, say - peace, peace, my dear little giants, I have had thought of ye, something I have brought for ye. And when the birds come, you shall again say - peace, peace, my dear little birds, I have had thought of ye, something I have brought for ye. Then they will do nothing to you, and when you come to the castle, the giants will help you. Then go up to the castle, and take a couple of giants with you. There the princess lies sleeping. You must, however, not awaken her, but the giants must lift her up, and carry her in her bed to the ship.\" And now everything took place as the little white horse had said, and Ferdinand the Faithful gave the giants and the birds what he had brought with him for them, and that made the giants willing, and they carried the princess in her bed to the king. And when she came to the king, she said she could not live, she must have her writings, they had been left in her castle.",
    "Then by the instigation of Ferdinand the Unfaithful, Ferdinand the Faithful was called, and the king told him he must fetch the writings from the castle, or he should die. Then he went once more into the stable, and bemoaned himself and said, \"Oh, my dear little white horse, now I am to go away again, how am I to do it?\" Then the little white horse said he was just to load the ships full again. So it happened again as it had happened before, and the giants and the birds were satisfied, and made gentle by the meat. When they came to the castle, the white horse told Ferdinand the Faithful that he must go in, and that on the table in the princess's bed-room lay the writings. And Ferdinand the Faithful went in, and fetched them. When they were on the lake, he let his pen fall into the water. Then said the white horse, \"Now I cannot help you at all.\" But he remembered his flute, and began to play on it, and the fish came with the pen in its mouth, and gave it to him. So he took the writings to the castle, where the wedding was celebrated.",
    "The queen, however, did not love the king because he had no nose, but she would have much liked to love Ferdinand the Faithful. Once, therefore, when all the lords of the court were together, the queen said she could do feats of magic, that she could cut off anyone's head and put it on again, and that one of them ought just to try it. But none of them would be the first, so Ferdinand the Faithful, again at the instigation of Ferdinand the Unfaithful, undertook it and she hewed off his head, and put it on again for him, and it healed together directly, so that it looked as if he had a red thread round his throat. Then the king said to her, \"My child, and where have you learnt that?\" \"Oh,\" she said, \"I understand the art. Shall I just try it on you also.\" \"Oh, yes,\" said he. So she cut off his head, but did not put it on again, and pretended that she could not get it on, and that it would not stay. Then the king was buried, but she married Ferdinand the Faithful.",
    "He, however, always rode on his white horse, and once when he was seated on it, it told him that he was to go on to the heath which he knew, and gallop three times round it. And when he had done that, the white horse stood up on its hind legs, and was changed into a king's son."

Go home and tell the midwife that she is to come to the church with the child.\" When they all got to the church together, the beggar was already there, and he gave the child the name of Ferdinand the Faithful.\n\nWhen he was going out of the church, the beggar said, \"Now go home, I can give you nothing, and you likewise ought to give me nothing.\" But he gave a key to the midwife, and told her when she got home she was to give it to the father, who was to take care of it until the child was fourteen years old, and then he was to go on the heath where there was a castle which the key would fit, and that all which was therein should belong to him.\n\nNow when the child was seven years old and had grown very big, he once went to play with some other boys, and each of them boasted that he had got more from his godfather than the other, but the child could say nothing, and was vexed, and went home and said to his father, \"Did I get nothing at all, then, from my godfather?\" \"Oh, yes,\" said the father, \"you have a key. If there is a castle standing on the heath, just go to it and open it.\" Then the boy went thither, but no castle was to be seen, or heard of.\n\nAfter seven years more, when he was fourteen years old, he again went thither, and there stood the castle. When he had opened it, there was nothing within but a horse, - a white one. Then the boy was so full of joy because he had a horse, that he mounted on it and galloped back to his father. \"Now I have a white horse, and I will travel,\" said he.\n\nSo he set out, and as he was on his way, a pen was lying on the road. At first he thought he would pick it up, but then again he thought to himself, \"You should leave it lying there, you will easily find a pen where you are going, if you have need of one.\" As he was thus riding away, a voice called after him, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, take it with you.\" He looked around, but saw no one, so he went back again and picked it up.\n\nWhen he had ridden a little way farther, he passed by a lake, and a fish was lying on the bank, gasping and panting for breath, so he said, \"Wait, my dear fish, I will help you to get into the water,\" and he took hold of it by the tail, and threw it into the lake. Then the fish put its head out of the water and said, \"As you have helped me out of the mud I will give you a flute. When you are in any need, play on it, and then I will help you, and if ever you let anything fall in the water, just play and I will reach it out to you.\"\n\nThen he rode away, and there came to him a man who asked him where he was going. \"Oh, to the next place.\" \"What is your name?\" \"Ferdinand the Faithful.\" \"So, then we have almost the same name, I am called Ferdinand the Unfaithful.\" And they both set out to the inn in the nearest place.\n\nNow it was unfortunate that Ferdinand the Unfaithful knew everything that the other had ever thought and everything he was about to do. He knew it by means of all kinds of wicked arts. There was in the inn an honest girl, who had a bright face and behaved very prettily. She fell in love with Ferdinand the Faithful because he was a handsome man, and she asked him whither he was going. \"Oh, I am just traveling round about,\" said he. Then she said he ought to stay there, for the king of that country wanted an attendant or an outrider, and he ought to enter his service. He answered he could not very well go to any one like that and offer himself. Then said the maiden, \"Oh, but I will soon do that for you.\" And so she went straight to the king, and told him that she knew of an excellent servant for him. He was well pleased with that, and had Ferdinand the Faithful brought to him, and wanted to make him his servant. He, however, liked better to be an outrider, for where his horse was, there he also wanted to be, so the king made him an outrider.\n\nWhen Ferdinand the Unfaithful learnt that, he said to the girl, \"What? Do you help him and not me?\" \"Oh,\" said the girl, \"I will help you too.\" She thought, I must keep friends with that man, for he is not to be trusted. She went to the king, and offered him as a servant, and the king was willing.\n\nNow when the king met his lords in the morning, he always lamented and said, \"Oh, if I only had my love with me.\" Ferdinand the Unfaithful, however, was always hostile to Ferdinand the Faithful. So once, when the king was complaining thus, he said, \"You have the outrider, send him away to get her, and if he does not do it, his head must be struck off.\" Then the king sent for Ferdinand the Faithful, and told him that there was, in this place or in that place, a girl he loved, and that he was to bring her to him, and if he did not do it he should die. Ferdinand the Faithful went into the stable to his white horse, and complained and lamented, \"Oh, what an unhappy man am I.\" Then someone behind him cried, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, why do you weep?\" He looked round but saw no one, and went on lamenting. \"Oh, my dear little white horse, now must I leave you, now I must die.\" Then someone cried once more, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, why do you weep?\" Then for the first time he was aware that it was his little white horse who was putting that question. \"Do you speak, my little white horse? Can you do that?\" And again, he said, \"I am to go to this place and to that, and am to bring the bride. Can you tell me how I am to set about it?\" Then answered the white horse, \"Go to the king, and say if he will give you what you must have, you will get her for him. If he will give you a ship full of meat, and a ship full of bread, it will succeed. Great giants dwell on the lake, and if you take no meat with you for them, they will tear you to pieces, and there are the large birds which would pluck the eyes out of your head if you had no bread for them. Then the king made all the butchers in the land kill, and all the bakers bake, that the ships might be filled.\"\n\nWhen they were full, the little white horse said to Ferdinand the Faithful, \"Now mount me, and go with me into the ship, and then when the giants come, say - peace, peace, my dear little giants, I have had thought of ye, something I have brought for ye. And when the birds come, you shall again say - peace, peace, my dear little birds, I have had thought of ye, something I have brought for ye. Then they will do nothing to you, and when you come to the castle, the giants will help you. Then go up to the castle, and take a couple of giants with you. There the princess lies sleeping. You must, however, not awaken her, but the giants must lift her up, and carry her in her bed to the ship.\" And now everything took place as the little white horse had said, and Ferdinand the Faithful gave the giants and the birds what he had brought with him for them, and that made the giants willing, and they carried the princess in her bed to the king. And when she came to the king, she said she could not live, she must have her writings, they had been left in her castle.\n\nThen by the instigation of Ferdinand the Unfaithful, Ferdinand the Faithful was called, and the king told him he must fetch the writings from the castle, or he should die. Then he went once more into the stable, and bemoaned himself and said, \"Oh, my dear little white horse, now I am to go away again, how am I to do it?\" Then the little white horse said he was just to load the ships full again. So it happened again as it had happened before, and the giants and the birds were satisfied, and made gentle by the meat. When they came to the castle, the white horse told Ferdinand the Faithful that he must go in, and that on the table in the princess's bed-room lay the writings. And Ferdinand the Faithful went in, and fetched them. When they were on the lake, he let his pen fall into the water. Then said the white horse, \"Now I cannot help you at all.\" But he remembered his flute, and began to play on it, and the fish came with the pen in its mouth, and gave it to him. So he took the writings to the castle, where the wedding was celebrated.\n\nThe queen, however, did not love the king because he had no nose, but she would have much liked to love Ferdinand the Faithful. Once, therefore, when all the lords of the court were together, the queen said she could do feats of magic, that she could cut off anyone's head and put it on again, and that one of them ought just to try it. But none of them would be the first, so Ferdinand the Faithful, again at the instigation of Ferdinand the Unfaithful, undertook it and she hewed off his head, and put it on again for him, and it healed together directly, so that it looked as if he had a red thread round his throat. Then the king said to her, \"My child, and where have you learnt that?\" \"Oh,\" she said, \"I understand the art. Shall I just try it on you also.\" \"Oh, yes,\" said he. So she cut off his head, but did not put it on again, and pretended that she could not get it on, and that it would not stay. Then the king was buried, but she married Ferdinand the Faithful.\n\nHe, however, always rode on his white horse, and once when he was seated on it, it told him that he was to go on to the heath which he knew, and gallop three times round it. And when he had done that, the white horse stood up on its hind legs, and was changed into a king's son.",

At first he thought he would pick it up, but then again he thought to himself, \"You should leave it lying there, you will easily find a pen where you are going, if you have need of one.\" As he was thus riding away, a voice called after him, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, take it with you.\" He looked around, but saw no one, so he went back again and picked it up.\n\nWhen he had ridden a little way farther, he passed by a lake, and a fish was lying on the bank, gasping and panting for breath, so he said, \"Wait, my dear fish, I will help you to get into the water,\" and he took hold of it by the tail, and threw it into the lake. Then the fish put its head out of the water and said, \"As you have helped me out of the mud I will give you a flute. When you are in any need, play on it, and then I will help you, and if ever you let anything fall in the water, just play and I will reach it out to you.\"\n\nThen he rode away, and there came to him a man who asked him where he was going. \"Oh, to the next place.\" \"What is your name?\" \"Ferdinand the Faithful.\" \"So, then we have almost the same name, I am called Ferdinand the Unfaithful.\" And they both set out to the inn in the nearest place.\n\nNow it was unfortunate that Ferdinand the Unfaithful knew everything that the other had ever thought and everything he was about to do. He knew it by means of all kinds of wicked arts. There was in the inn an honest girl, who had a bright face and behaved very prettily. She fell in love with Ferdinand the Faithful because he was a handsome man, and she asked him whither he was going. \"Oh, I am just traveling round about,\" said he. Then she said he ought to stay there, for the king of that country wanted an attendant or an outrider, and he ought to enter his service. He answered he could not very well go to any one like that and offer himself. Then said the maiden, \"Oh, but I will soon do that for you.\" And so she went straight to the king, and told him that she knew of an excellent servant for him. He was well pleased with that, and had Ferdinand the Faithful brought to him, and wanted to make him his servant. He, however, liked better to be an outrider, for where his horse was, there he also wanted to be, so the king made him an outrider.\n\nWhen Ferdinand the Unfaithful learnt that, he said to the girl, \"What? Do you help him and not me?\" \"Oh,\" said the girl, \"I will help you too.\" She thought, I must keep friends with that man, for he is not to be trusted. She went to the king, and offered him as a servant, and the king was willing.\n\nNow when the king met his lords in the morning, he always lamented and said, \"Oh, if I only had my love with me.\" Ferdinand the Unfaithful, however, was always hostile to Ferdinand the Faithful. So once, when the king was complaining thus, he said, \"You have the outrider, send him away to get her, and if he does not do it, his head must be struck off.\" Then the king sent for Ferdinand the Faithful, and told him that there was, in this place or in that place, a girl he loved, and that he was to bring her to him, and if he did not do it he should die. Ferdinand the Faithful went into the stable to his white horse, and complained and lamented, \"Oh, what an unhappy man am I.\" Then someone behind him cried, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, why do you weep?\" He looked round but saw no one, and went on lamenting. \"Oh, my dear little white horse, now must I leave you, now I must die.\" Then someone cried once more, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, why do you weep?\" Then for the first time he was aware that it was his little white horse who was putting that question. \"Do you speak, my little white horse? Can you do that?\" And again, he said, \"I am to go to this place and to that, and am to bring the bride. Can you tell me how I am to set about it?\" Then answered the white horse, \"Go to the king, and say if he will give you what you must have, you will get her for him. If he will give you a ship full of meat, and a ship full of bread, it will succeed. Great giants dwell on the lake, and if you take no meat with you for them, they will tear you to pieces, and there are the large birds which would pluck the eyes out of your head if you had no bread for them. Then the king made all the butchers in the land kill, and all the bakers bake, that the ships might be filled.\"\n\nWhen they were full, the little white horse said to Ferdinand the Faithful, \"Now mount me, and go with me into the ship, and then when the giants come, say - peace, peace, my dear little giants, I have had thought of ye, something I have brought for ye. And when the birds come, you shall again say - peace, peace, my dear little birds, I have had thought of ye, something I have brought for ye. Then they will do nothing to you, and when you come to the castle, the giants will help you. Then go up to the castle, and take a couple of giants with you. There the princess lies sleeping. You must, however, not awaken her, but the giants must lift her up, and carry her in her bed to the ship.\" And now everything took place as the little white horse had said, and Ferdinand the Faithful gave the giants and the birds what he had brought with him for them, and that made the giants willing, and they carried the princess in her bed to the king. And when she came to the king, she said she could not live, she must have her writings, they had been left in her castle.\n\nThen by the instigation of Ferdinand the Unfaithful, Ferdinand the Faithful was called, and the king told him he must fetch the writings from the castle, or he should die. Then he went once more into the stable, and bemoaned himself and said, \"Oh, my dear little white horse, now I am to go away again, how am I to do it?\" Then the little white horse said he was just to load the ships full again. So it happened again as it had happened before, and the giants and the birds were satisfied, and made gentle by the meat. When they came to the castle, the white horse told Ferdinand the Faithful that he must go in, and that on the table in the princess's bed-room lay the writings. And Ferdinand the Faithful went in, and fetched them. When they were on the lake, he let his pen fall into the water. Then said the white horse, \"Now I cannot help you at all.\" But he remembered his flute, and began to play on it, and the fish came with the pen in its mouth, and gave it to him. So he took the writings to the castle, where the wedding was celebrated.\n\nThe queen, however, did not love the king because he had no nose, but she would have much liked to love Ferdinand the Faithful. Once, therefore, when all the lords of the court were together, the queen said she could do feats of magic, that she could cut off anyone's head and put it on again, and that one of them ought just to try it. But none of them would be the first, so Ferdinand the Faithful, again at the instigation of Ferdinand the Unfaithful, undertook it and she hewed off his head, and put it on again for him, and it healed together directly, so that it looked as if he had a red thread round his throat. Then the king said to her, \"My child, and where have you learnt that?\" \"Oh,\" she said, \"I understand the art. Shall I just try it on you also.\" \"Oh, yes,\" said he. So she cut off his head, but did not put it on again, and pretended that she could not get it on, and that it would not stay. Then the king was buried, but she married Ferdinand the Faithful.\n\nHe, however, always rode on his white horse, and once when he was seated on it, it told him that he was to go on to the heath which he knew, and gallop three times round it. And when he had done that, the white horse stood up on its hind legs, and was changed into a king's son.",

He felt sad and went home. He asked his father, \"Did I get nothing at all from my godfather?\" His father smiled and said, \"Oh, yes! You have a special key. If there is a castle on the hill, just go there and open it.\" The boy ran to the hill, but there was no castle to be seen.",
    "After seven years, when he was fourteen, he went back to the castle. The big doors were open. Inside, there was only one thing: a horse. It was a beautiful white horse. The boy was so happy to see it! He climbed onto the horse and rode fast back to his father. \"Now I have a white horse,\" he said. \"I will travel the world.",
    "So he set out, and as he rode along, he saw a pen lying on the road. At first, he thought he would pick it up, but then he thought to himself, \"You should leave it there. You will find a pen easily where you are going if you need one.\" As he rode away, a kind voice called after him, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, take it with you.\" He looked around, but he could not see anyone. So, he went back and picked it up.",
    "When he rode a little farther, he saw a fish lying on the bank. The fish was gasping and panting for air. So, he said, \"Wait, my dear fish. I will help you get back into the water.\" He took hold of the fish by its tail and gently threw it into the lake. Then, the fish put its head out of the water and spoke. \"Since you helped me out of the mud, I will give you a magic flute. If you are ever in trouble, just play it. I will help you. And if you ever drop something in the water, just play the flute, and I will reach it out to you.",
    "Then he rode away, and a kind man stopped him. The man asked, \"Where are you going?\" \"Just to the next town,\" said Ferdinand. \"What is your name?\" \"I am Ferdinand the Faithful.\" \"Oh, how nice!\" said the man. \"I am called Ferdinand the Unfaithful.\" They both smiled and walked together to the cozy inn.",
    "It was a bit sad that Ferdinand the Unfaithful knew everything the other man was thinking and planning. He used magic to know it all. There was a kind girl at the inn. She had a happy smile and was very sweet. She fell in love with Ferdinand the Faithful because he was so handsome. She asked him where he was going.\n\n\"Oh, I am just traveling around,\" he said.\n\nThen she told him he should stay there. She said the king needed a helper, and he should work for him. He said he did not want to ask a king for a job. Then the sweet girl said, \"Oh, but I will ask for you.",
    "And so she went straight to the king. She told him she knew of a very good servant for him. The king was very happy to hear that. He had Ferdinand the Faithful brought to him. The king wanted to make him his servant. But Ferdinand liked being with the horses better. He wanted to be an outrider. He wanted to be where his horse was. So, the king made him an outrider.",
    "When Ferdinand heard this, he asked the girl, \"What? Are you helping him and not me?\"\n\n\"Oh, yes,\" she said. \"I will help you too.\"\n\nShe thought, I must stay friends with that man. He is not safe. So, she went to the king. She offered him as a servant, and the king was happy to have him.",
    "Now when the king met his lords in the morning, he always looked sad and said, \"Oh, if I only had my love with me.\" But Ferdinand the Unfaithful was always unkind to Ferdinand the Faithful. So one day, when the king was complaining like that, he said, \"You have the outrider, send him away to get her. If he does not do it, he must leave.\" Then the king sent for Ferdinand the Faithful and told him, \"There is a girl I love in this place or that place. You must bring her to me. If you do not do it, you must leave.\" Ferdinand the Faithful went into the stable to his white horse. He looked very sad and said, \"Oh, what an unhappy man am I.\" Then someone behind him cried, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, why do you weep?",
    "He looked around, but he was all alone. He started to cry softly. \"Oh, my dear little white horse, now I must leave you, and now I must go away forever.\" Then, a voice called out, \"Ferdinand the Faithful, why are you crying?\" Then, for the first time, he realized it was his little white horse speaking to him. \"Do you talk, my little white horse? Can you really speak?\" He asked again, \"I have to go to this place and that place. I have to bring the bride. Can you tell me how I should do it?\" The white horse answered, \"Go to the king. Ask him for what you need. If he gives you a ship full of meat and a ship full of bread, you will get her for him.",
    "Big giants live by the lake. If you do not bring them any food, they might get angry and hurt you. There are also huge birds there. If you do not give them bread, they might try to pull your eyes out. The King told all the cooks to make meat and all the bakers to make bread. He wanted the ships to be full of food for the trip.",
    "When they were full, the little white horse said to Ferdinand, \"Now climb on my back. Let us go to the ship together. When the big, strong giants arrive, say, 'Peace, peace, my dear friends. I have thought of you. Look, I brought you a treat.' And when the birds fly down, you must say the same thing. Then they will be very kind and help you. When we reach the castle, the giants will carry you inside. The princess is sleeping there. Please do not wake her. The giants will lift her gently in her bed and bring her to the ship.",
    "And now everything happened just as the little white horse had said. Ferdinand the Faithful gave the giants and the birds the gifts he had brought for them. That made the giants very happy, and they carried the princess in her bed to the king. When she arrived, she said she could not live without her books. She explained that her special books had been left behind in her castle.",
    "Then, because Ferdinand the Unfaithful told the king to do it, Ferdinand the Faithful was asked to go. The king said he must get the special papers from the castle, or he would be in big trouble. So, Ferdinand went back to the stable and felt very sad. He said, \"Oh, my dear little white horse, I have to go away again. How will I do it?\" The little white horse told him to just fill the ships with food again. So, it happened just like before. The giants and the birds were happy and ate the food. When they reached the castle, the white horse told Ferdinand the Faithful to go inside. He said the papers were on the table in the princess's room. Ferdinand the Faithful went in and got them. But when they were on the lake, he accidentally dropped his pen into the water.",
    "Then the white horse said, \"Now I cannot help you at all.\" But he remembered his flute, and began to play a soft tune. The fish came swimming up with the pen in its mouth and gave it to him. So he took the papers to the castle, where the wedding was celebrated.",
    "The queen did not love the king because he had no nose. But she really liked Ferdinand the Faithful. One day, when all the lords were together, the queen said she could do magic tricks. She said she could cut off anyone's head and put it back on again. She asked one of them to try it. But none of them wanted to be first. So, Ferdinand the Faithful did it. The queen cut off his head and put it back on. It healed very fast, and it looked like a soft red string was around his neck. Then the king asked her, \"My dear, where did you learn that trick?\" \"Oh,\" she said, \"I know how to do it. Shall I try it on you too?\" \"Oh, yes,\" said he.",
    "So she cut off his head, but she did not put it back on. She pretended that she could not make it fit, and that it would not stay there. Then the king was buried with love and care. After that, she married Ferdinand the Faithful.",
    "He always rode his white horse. One day, the horse spoke to him. It told him to go to the heath. He knew the place well. He had to gallop three times around it. When he finished, the horse stood up on its back legs. Then, it changed into a handsome prince."

  "child_friendly_text": "Once upon a time, there was a man and a woman who were very rich. They had everything they wanted, but they did not have any children. Then, when they became poor, they finally had a little boy. They could not find anyone to be his godfather. So, the man said he would go to a nearby village to look for one. On his way, he met a poor man. The poor man asked him where he was going. The man said he was looking for a godfather because he was too poor for anyone to help him. \"Oh,\" said the poor man, \"you are poor, and I am poor. I will be your godfather, but I have nothing to give the child. Go home and tell the midwife to come to the church with the baby.\" When they all arrived at the church together, the beggar was already there. He gave the little boy the name of Ferdinand the Faithful.\n\nWhen he walked out of the church, the kind beggar smiled. \"Go home now,\" he said gently. \"I cannot give you anything, and you should not give me anything either.\" Then, he handed a shiny key to the midwife. He told her to give it to the baby's father. The father must keep the key safe until the boy was fourteen years old. After that, he must take the key to a castle on the heath. The key would open the door, and everything inside the castle would belong to the boy.\n\nWhen the boy was seven years old, he was very big. He went to play with his friends.
