"You have deceived me," he said to them. "The apples do not produce the effect that I sought."
Addressing, then, the stranger, he said, "Give me your apple."
The other son-in-law replied: "I am not of this country. I will not give you my fruit."
"Give it to me to look at," said the King. The young man gave it to him, saying, "Take a mirror in your right hand and the apple in your left hand."
The King put the apple to his nose, and, looking at his beard, saw that it became black. His teeth became white. He grew young again. "You are my son," he said to the young man. And he made a proclamation to his subjects, "When I am dead he shall succeed me on the throne." His son-in-law stayed some time with him, and after the death of the King he reigned in his place and did not marry the other daughters of the King to his companions.
