The Prince replied, “I do not want your kingdom at all; I want the Princess.”
Afterwards the King went and asked for the Princess. Then the father of the Princess said, “I will give the Princess to the persons who give me this well full of gold.”
So the Prince filled it and gave it, and the Prince and Princess having got married stopped many days at the Prince’s house.
Then the King said to the Prince, “Because at first you said that you did not want the kingdom, that you only wanted the Princess, you shall not live at my house. Go where you want.”
Then having gone to the Princess’s house, after they had been living there many days the father of the Princess said, “Taking a well of gold, I sold the Princess. You shall not live at my house. Go where you want.”
So those two went away. As they were going the Princess went along sewing a jacket. Having gone very far, after they sat down at a travellers’ shed near a city, the Princess gave the jacket that she had sewn into the Prince’s hand, and said, “Take this, and having sold it at the bazaar bring something to eat.”
The Prince having taken it to the bazaar, after he had told the bazaar men to buy it they said, “We are unable to say a word about buying this. It is so valuable that we have not got the means to purchase it.”
The guards of the King of that country having been present looking on, and having seen this, told the royal servants to bring the jacket to the King. After they had brought it the King took it, and gave the Prince two bags of money. The Prince left one and took one away.
The King having called his servants, ordered them, “Look at the place where that Prince goes and stays, and come back.” Well then, the servants having gone and having seen that the Princess was stopping at the travellers’ shed, came running, and said at the hands of the King, “There is a good-looking Princess at such and such a travellers’ shed.”
The Prince having left at the travellers’ shed the bag of money which he took, came for the other bag of money. While he was coming, the King, taking a horse also, went to the travellers’ shed by a different road, and placing the Princess on horseback brought her to the palace.
