And I am as happy as happy can be,
Since the old Gypsy set me free.”
One day there came to the palace a little lame prince. He was as ugly as a barb-wire fence, but Brownie let him in. She gave him a cup of tea and said:
“I have lovers four and twenty;
One or two would be a plenty;
And I am happy as happy can be,
Since the old Gypsy set me free.”
The little lame prince said, “I am ugly and no one loves me. Will you marry me?”
Brownie said, “I will marry you.” And they were married in the rose garden, and they grew better looking and happier every day.
