' She was delighted with the pretty creature , and let him perch on her finger , when he said , ` Kiss , kiss , little birdie , ' which she gladly did , petting and stroking him at the same time . After a time the princess , who had been up very early , grew tired , and as the sun was hot she went to lie down on a mossy bank in the shade of the arbour . She held the pretty bird near her breast , and was just falling asleep , when the fairy contrived to restore the prince to his own shape , so that as Graziella opened her eyes she found herself in the arms of a lover whom she loved in return ! At the same moment her enchantment came to an end . The tower began to rock and to split . Bonnetta hurried up to the top so that she might at least perish with her dear princess .

He received his daughter with great delight , and there were universal rejoicings at the return of the lovely princess . The wedding took place the very next day , and , for many days after , balls , dinners , tournaments , concerts and all sorts of amusements went on all day and all night . All the fairies were carefully invited , and they came in great state , and promised the young couple their protection and all sorts of good gifts . Prince Blondel and Princess Graziella lived to a good old age , beloved by every one , and loving each other more and more as time went on .
