He saw the young girl and asked her why she was standing there and crying, all alone in the woods.
"O sir, my mother has turned me out of the house," she said.
The prince was greatly surprised to see five or six pearls and as many diamonds fall from her mouth as she spoke.
"Tell me how all this happened," said the prince.
So she told him all about it.
The prince took her with him, and they went to the king's house, and there they were married, and were very happy.
But the older sister grew more and more ugly in her heart, until even her mother could not live with her.
So her mother turned her out, and no one ever heard of her again.
