Yes , that was cured also ; and not even a scar was left to show where it had been ! Was ever any king so happy as Balancin when he satisfied himself of this ? Lightly as a deer he jumped from his bed , and began to turn head over heels and to perform all sorts of antics , so as to make sure that his foot was in truth as well as it looked . And when he was quite tired he sent for his daughter , and bade the courtiers bring the lucky young man to his room . ` He is really young and handsome , ' said the princess to herself , heaving a sigh of relief that it was not some dreadful old man who had healed her father ; and while the king was announcing to his courtiers the wonderful cure that had been made , Diamantina was thinking that if Gilguerillo looked so well in his common dress , how much improved by the splendid garments of a king ' son . However , she held her peace , and only watched with amusement when the courtiers , knowing there was no help for it , did homage and obeisance to the chemist 's boy . Then they brought to Gilguerillo a magnificent tunic of green velvet bordered with gold , and a cap with three white plumes stuck in it ; and at the sight of him so arrayed , the princess fell in love with him in a moment . The wedding was fixed to take place in eight days , and at the ball afterwards nobody danced so long or so lightly as king Balancin . The Magic Book -LSB- From Capullos de Rosa , por D. Enrique Ceballos Quintana . -RSB- -LSB- From AEventyr fra Zylland samlede og optegnede af Tang Kristensen . Translated from the Danish by Mrs. Skavgaard-Pedersen . -RSB- There was once an old couple named Peder and Kirsten who had an only son called Hans . From the time he was a little boy he had been told that on his sixteenth birthday he must go out into the world and serve his apprenticeship . So , one fine summer morning , he started off to seek his fortune with nothing but the clothes he wore on his back . For many hours he trudged on merrily , now and then stopping to drink from some clear spring or to pick some ripe fruit from a tree . The little wild creatures peeped at him from beneath the bushes , and he nodded and smiled , and wished them ` Good-morning . ' After he had been walking for some time he met an old white-bearded man who was coming along the footpath . The boy would not step aside , and the man was determined not to do so either , so they ran against one another with a bump . ` It seems to me , ' said the old fellow , ` that a boy should give way to an old man . ' ` The path is for me as well as for you , ' answered young Hans saucily , for he had never been taught politeness .
` Well , that 's true enough , ' XXXXX the other mildly .
