No , no ! nothing will induce me to become the laughing-stock of my subjects for the sake of a goat-faced girl ! ' When they reached his own country he shut Renzolla up in a little turret chamber of his palace , with a waiting-maid , and gave each of them ten bundles of flax to spin , telling them that their task must be finished by the end of the week . The maid , obedient to the king 's commands , set at once to work and combed out the flax , wound it round the spindle , and sat spinning at her wheel so diligently that her work was quite done by Saturday evening . But Renzolla , who had been spoilt and petted in the fairy 's house , and was quite unaware of the change that had taken place in her appearance , threw the flax out of the window and said : ` What is the king thinking of that he should give me this work to do ? If he wants shirts he can buy them . It is n't even as if he had picked me out of the gutter , for he ought to remember that I brought him seven thousand golden guineas as my wedding portion , and that I am his wife and not his slave . He must be mad to treat me like this . ' All the same , when Saturday evening came , and she saw that the waiting-maid had finished her task , she took fright lest she should be punished for her idleness . So she hurried off to the palace of the fairy , and confided all her woes to her . The fairy embraced her tenderly , and gave her a sack full of spun flax , in order that she might show it to the king , and let him see what a good worker she was . Renzolla took the sack without one word of thanks , and returned to the palace , leaving the kind fairy very indignant over her want of gratitude . When the king saw the flax all spun , he gave Renzolla and the waiting-maid each a little dog , and told them to look after the animals and train them carefully . The waiting-maid brought hers up with the greatest possible care , and treated it almost as if it were her son . But Renzolla said : ' I do n't know what to think . Have I come among a lot of lunatics ? Does the king imagine that I am going to comb and feed a dog with my own hands ? ' With these words she opened the window and threw the poor little beast out , and he fell on the ground as dead as a stone . When a few months had passed the king sent a message to say he would like to see how the dogs were getting on . Renzolla , who felt very uncomfortable in her mind at this request , hurried off once more to the fairy .
This time she found an old man at the door XXXXX the fairy 's palace , who said to her : ` Who are you , and what do you want ? '
