They set out forthwith in a splendid carriage. As they drew near the castle, at the place where the three brothers were to meet, the Queen entered into a little crystal rock ornamented with precious stones, and this was carried by richly dressed young men.
The Prince who had remained in the carriage, saw his brothers, approaching with wondrously beautiful ladies.
On being questioned he told them that all he had brought was a little White Cat.
"THE BODY OF THE WHITE CAT GREW LARGE AND
WAS TRANSFORMED INTO THAT OF A GIRL."
They began to laugh at him, and drove on followed by the young Prince, while after him was brought the crystal rock.
Arrived at the Palace the two elder Princes dismounted with their marvellous Princesses.
The King received them graciously, and did not know to which to award the prize.
