of course the king and queen would have preferred a daughter - in - law with two hands , and one who could have brought riches with her , but they could not bear to say ' no ' to their son , so they told him it should be as he chose , and that the wedding feast should be prepared immediately . the girl could scarcely believe her good fortune , and , in gratitude for all the kindness shown her , was so useful and pleasant to her husband 's parents that they soon loved her . by and bye a baby was born to her , and soon after that the prince was sent on a journey by his father to visit some of the distant towns of the kingdom , and to set right things that had gone wrong . no sooner had he started than the girl 's brother , who had wasted all the riches his wife had brought him in recklessness and folly , and was now very poor , chanced to come into the town , and as he passed he heard a man say , ' do you know that the king 's son has married a woman who has lost one of her hands ? ' on hearing these words the brother stopped and asked , ' where did he find such a woman ? ' ' in the forest , ' answered the man , and the cruel brother guessed at once it must be his sister . in this manner many weeks passed by . and what was the prince doing ? well , he had fallen very ill when he was on the furthest border of the kingdom , and he was nursed by some kind people who did not know who he was , so that the king and queen heard nothing about him . when he was better he made his way home again , and into his father 's palace , where he found a strange man standing behind the throne with the peacock 's feathers . this was his wife 's brother , whom the king had taken into high favour , though , of course , the prince was quite ignorant of what had happened . for a moment the king and queen stared at their son , as if he had been unknown to them ; he had grown so thin and weak during his illness that his shoulders were bowed like those of an old man .

soon after sunrise next day the prince 's wife was standing on a little hill behind the house , when she saw a cloud of dust coming through the town . a moment afterwards she heard faintly the roll of the drums that announced the king 's presence , and saw a crowd of people approaching the grove of palms . her heart beat fast . could her husband be among them ? in any case they must not discover her there ; so just bidding the ring prepare some food for them , she ran inside , and bound a veil of golden gauze round her head and face . then , taking the child 's hand , she went to the door and waited . in a few minutes the whole procession came up , and she stepped forward and begged them to come in and rest . ' willingly , ' answered the king ; ' go first , and we will follow you . ' they followed her into a long dark room , in which was a table covered with gold cups and baskets filled with dates and cocoa - nuts and all kinds of ripe yellow fruits , and the king and the prince sat upon cushions and were served by slaves , while the ministers , among whom she recognised her own brother , stood behind .
