At last the King came himself , and he likewise was spellbound by the beauty of the music . Then Martin summoned the twelve youths , spoke to them , saying , ` Build up my castle again , and join it to the King 's Palace with a crystal bridge ; do not forget the trees with the golden and silver apples , and with the birds of Paradise in the branches ; and put back the church with the five cupolas , and let the bells ring out , summoning the people from the four corners of the kingdom . And one thing more : bring back my faithless wife , and lead her into the women 's chamber . ' And it was all done as he commanded , and , leaving the Starvation Tower , he took the King , his father-in-law , by the arm , and led him into the new palace , where the Princess sat in fear and trembling , awaiting her death . And Martin spoke to the King , saying , ` King and royal father , I have suffered much at the hands of your daughter . What punishment shall be dealt to her ? ' Then the mild King answered : ` Beloved Prince and son-in-law , if you love me , let your anger be turned to grace -- forgive my daughter , and restore her to your heart and favour . ' And Martin 's heart was softened and he forgave his wife , and they lived happily together ever after . And his old mother came and lived with him , and he never parted with Schurka and Waska ; and I need hardly tell you that he never again let the ring out of his possession . THE FLOWER QUEEN 'S DAUGHTER -LRB- 23 -RRB- -LRB- 23 -RRB- From the Bukowinaer . Von Wliolocki . A young Prince was riding one day through a meadow that stretched for miles in front of him , when he came to a deep open ditch . He was turning aside to avoid it , when he heard the sound of someone crying in the ditch . He dismounted from his horse , and stepped along in the direction the sound came from . To his astonishment he found an old woman , who begged him to help her out of the ditch . The Prince bent down and lifted her out of her living grave , asking her at the same time how she had managed to get there . ` My son , ' answered the old woman , ' I am a very poor woman , and soon after midnight I set out for the neighbouring town in order to sell my eggs in the market on the following morning ; but I lost my way in the dark , and fell into this deep ditch , where I might have remained for ever but for your kindness . ' Then the Prince said to her , ` You can hardly walk ; I will put you on my horse and lead you home . Where do you live ? ' ` Over there , at the edge of the forest in the little hut you see in the distance , ' replied the old woman .
The XXXXX lifted her on to his horse , and soon they reached the hut , where the old woman got down , and turning to the Prince said , ` Just wait a moment , and I will give you something . '
