Far away, a young prince heard of the girl and wanted her for his own. ''Father, I beg you, let me go to the palace and win her.'' "No son, never .If you are to go, you will go to certain death.''

So the youth took to his bed and became sick for three years. No doctor could do him the least good and his father was very upset. Finally, seeing that there was no hope in him getting better anymore, the father allowed him to go to the beautiful girl.

''Go if you like and try your luck. I don’t know what else to do anymore.''
