That night, when he began to cry and howl, it was at once discovered that he was only a jackal; so all the animals ran at him, bit him, and turned him out.
THE ENCHANTED BIRD, MUSIC, AND STREAM
There was once a Prince who used to amuse himself by dressing as a poor man, and going about amongst his subjects without their finding out who he was.
In this way he found out all that they did, and how they lived.
Once, while walking through a gully, he saw three sisters, and overheard their conversation.
One said: “If I could marry even a servant of the Prince, how happy I should be! I should eat sweets and all sorts of nice things all day long.”
The other sister said: “I’d rather marry his cook, for then I should get still better things.”
But the third sister said: “I’d like best to marry the Prince himself, for then I’d get the best things of all to eat.”
The Prince went home, and next day, while holding court, gave an order that these three sisters should be brought to him.
