As there are many in the world in its state now, there was a king who
had three daughters. He used continually to bring handsome presents
to his two elder daughters, but did not pay any attention at all to
his youngest daughter, and yet she was the prettiest and most amiable.
The king kept going from fair to fair, and from feast to feast,
and from everywhere he used to bring something for the two eldest
daughters. One day, when he was going to a feast, he said to his
youngest daughter:
"I never bring anything home for you; tell me then what you want and
you shall have it."
