1There was once upon a time a queen to whom God had given no children. Every morning she went into the garden and prayed
2to God in heaven to bestow on her a son or a daughter. Then an angel from heaven came to her and said: 'Be at rest, you
3shall have a son with the power of wishing, so that whatsoever in the world he wishes for, that shall he have.' Then she
4went to the king, and told him the joyful tidings, and when the time was come she gave birth to a son, and the king was
5filled with gladness. Every morning she went with the child to the garden where the wild beasts were kept, and washed
6herself there in a clear stream. It happened once when the child was a little older, that it was lying in her arms and
7she fell asleep. Then came the old cook, who knew that the child had the power of wishing, and stole it away, and he
8took a hen, and cut it in pieces, and dropped some of its blood on the queen's apron and on her dress. Then he carried
9the child away to a secret place, where a nurse was obliged to suckle it, and he ran to the king and accused the queen
10of having allowed her child to be taken from her by the wild beasts. When the king saw the blood on her apron, he
11believed this, fell into such a passion that he ordered a high tower to be built, in which neither sun nor moon could be
12seen and had his wife put into it, and walled up. Here she was to stay for seven years without meat or drink, and die of
13hunger. But God sent two angels from heaven in the shape of white doves, which flew to her twice a day, and carried her
14food until the seven years were over. The cook, however, thought to himself: 'If the child has the power of wishing, and
15I am here, he might very easily get me into trouble.' So he left the palace and went to the boy, who was already big
16enough to speak, and said to him: 'Wish for a beautiful palace for yourself with a garden, and all else that pertains to
17it.' Scarcely were the words out of the boy's mouth, when everything was there that he had wished for. After a while the
18cook said to him: 'It is not well for you to be so alone, wish for a pretty girl as a companion.' Then the king's son
19wished for one, and she immediately stood before him, and was more beautiful than any painter could have painted her.
20The two played together, and loved each other with all their hearts, and the old cook went out hunting like a nobleman.
21The thought occurred to him, however, that the king's son might some day wish to be with his father, and thus bring him
22into great peril. So he went out and took the maiden aside, and said: 'Tonight when the boy is asleep, go to his bed and
23plunge this knife into his heart, and bring me his heart and tongue, and if you do not do it, you shall lose your life.'
24Thereupon he went away, and when he returned next day she had not done it, and said: 'Why should I shed the blood of an
25innocent boy who has never harmed anyone?' The cook once more said: 'If you do not do it, it shall cost you your own
26life.' When he had gone away, she had a little hind brought to her, and ordered her to be killed, and took her heart and
27tongue, and laid them on a plate, and when she saw the old man coming, she said to the boy: 'Lie down in your bed, and
28draw the clothes over you.' Then the wicked wretch came in and said: 'Where are the boy's heart and tongue?' The girl
29reached the plate to him, but the king's son threw off the quilt, and said: 'You old sinner, why did you want to kill
30me? Now will I pronounce thy sentence. You shall become a black poodle and have a gold collar round your neck, and shall
31eat burning coals, till the flames burst forth from your throat.' And when he had spoken these words, the old man was
32changed into a poodle dog, and had a gold collar round his neck, and the cooks were ordered to bring up some live coals,
33and these he ate, until the flames broke forth from his throat. The king's son remained there a short while longer, and
34he thought of his mother, and wondered if she were still alive. At length he said to the maiden: 'I will go home to my
35own country; if you will go with me, I will provide for you.' 'Ah,' she replied, 'the way is so long, and what shall I
36do in a strange land where I am unknown?' As she did not seem quite willing, and as they could not be parted from each
37other, he wished that she might be changed into a beautiful pink, and took her with him. Then he went away to his own
38country, and the poodle had to run after him. He went to the tower in which his mother was confined, and as it was so
39high, he wished for a ladder which would reach up to the very top. Then he mounted up and looked inside, and cried:
40'Beloved mother, Lady Queen, are you still alive, or are you dead?' She answered: 'I have just eaten, and am still
41satisfied,' for she thought the angels were there. Said he: 'I am your dear son, whom the wild beasts were said to have
42torn from your arms; but I am alive still, and will soon set you free.' Then he descended again, and went to his father,
43and caused himself to be announced as a strange huntsman, and asked if he could offer him service. The king said yes, if
44he was skilful and could get game for him, he should come to him, but that deer had never taken up their quarters in any
45part of the district or country. Then the huntsman promised to procure as much game for him as he could possibly use at
46the royal table. So he summoned all the huntsmen together, and bade them go out into the forest with him. And he went
47with them and made them form a great circle, open at one end where he stationed himself, and began to wish. Two hundred
48deer and more came running inside the circle at once, and the huntsmen shot them. Then they were all placed on sixty
49country carts, and driven home to the king, and for once he was able to deck his table with game, after having had none
50at all for years.
