The prince was so surprised to hear a voice and see no one, that he cried out,
“What shall I do? What shall I do?
I’ll peep through the window to see if it’s true.”
Then he tiptoed to the window so softly his feet never made a sound, and sure enough, there he saw Goldy sitting in the chair—tied in, fast asleep.
The prince tried to get into the house. He tried the front door, and the back door, and the side door, and all the windows. At last he found a window that would open. He sat on the window sill and cried,
“Golden Hair, will you come to me?
May I come in and set you free?”
Then Goldy woke up. She had read about princes, but she had never seen one before. She was so surprised she only nodded her head.
Then the prince came in and cut the cords that bound her.
Goldy said, “Thank you!” Then she went and made the prince a cup of tea.
