' now , do n't be so foolish , my dear prince ; but keep up your spirits , for there is no need to despair . go to bed , and when you wake up to - morrow morning the palace will be finished . then you must go all round it , giving a tap here and there on the walls to look as if you had just finished it . ' and so it all turned out just as she had said . as soon as it was daylight prince milan stepped out of his room , and found a palace which was quite a work of art down to the very smallest detail . the magician himself was not a little astonished at its beauty , and could hardly believe his eyes . ' well , you certainly are a splendid workman , ' he said to the prince . ' i see you are very clever with your hands , now i must see if you are equally accomplished with your head . i have thirty daughters in my house , all beautiful princesses . to - morrow i will place the whole thirty in a row . you must walk past them three times , and the third time you must show me which is my youngest daughter hyacinthia . if you do n't guess rightly , you shall lose your head .

' do n't worry or distress yourself , dear father , ' answered prince milan . ' things are never as bad as they look . only give me a horse for my journey , and i wager you 'll soon see me back again . ' the king gave him a beautiful charger , with golden stirrups , and a sword . the queen hung a little cross round his neck , and after much weeping and lamentation the prince bade them all farewell and set forth on his journey . he rode straight on for two days , and on the third he came to a lake as smooth as glass and as clear as crystal . not a breath of wind moved , not a leaf stirred , all was silent as the grave , only on the still bosom of the lake thirty ducks , with brilliant plumage , swam about in the water . not far from the shore prince milan noticed thirty little white garments lying on the grass , and dismounting from his horse , he crept down under the high bulrushes , took one of the garments and hid himself with it behind the bushes which grew round the lake . the ducks swam about all over the place , dived down into the depths and rose again and glided through the waves . at last , tired of disporting themselves , they swam to the shore , and twenty - nine of them put on their little white garments and instantly turned into so many beautiful maidens . then they finished dressing and disappeared . only the thirtieth little duck could n't come to the land ; it swam about close to the shore , and , giving out a piercing cry , it stretched its neck up timidly , gazed wildly around , and then dived under again . ' now , do n't be so foolish , my dear prince ; but keep up your spirits , for there is no need to despair . go to bed , and when you wake up to - morrow morning the palace will be finished . then you must go all round it , giving a tap here and there on the walls to look as if you had just finished it .

' this time you 've made a mistake , ' thought prince milan , and going to his room he sat down at the window . ' just fancy my not recognising the beautiful hyacinthia ! why , that is the easiest thing in the world . ' ' not so easy as you think , ' cried the little bee , who was flying past . ' if i were n't to help you , you 'd never guess . we are thirty sisters so exactly alike that our own father can hardly distinguish us apart . ' ' then what am i to do ? ' asked prince milan . ' listen , ' answered hyacinthia . ' you will recognise me by a tiny fly i shall have on my left cheek , but be careful for you might easily make a mistake . '

the next day the magician again commanded prince milan to be led before him . his daughters were all arranged in a straight row in front of him , dressed exactly alike , and with their eyes bent on the ground . ' now , you genius , ' said the magician , ' look at these beauties three times , and then tell us which is the princess hyacinthia . ' prince milan went past them and looked at them closely . but they were all so precisely alike that they looked like one face reflected in thirty mirrors , and the fly was nowhere to be seen ; the second time he passed them he still saw nothing ; but the third time he perceived a little fly stealing down one cheek , causing it to blush a faint pink . then the prince seized the girl 's hand and cried out , ' this is the princess hyacinthia ! ' ' you 're right again , ' said the magician in amazement ; ' but i 've still another task for you to do . before this candle , which i shall light , burns to the socket , you must have made me a pair of boots reaching to my knees . if they are n't finished in that time , off comes your head .

the prince returned to his room in despair ; then the princess hyacinthia came to him once more changed into the likeness of a bee , and asked him , ' why so sad , prince milan ? ' ' how can i help being sad ? your father has set me this time an impossible task . before a candle which he has lit burns to the socket , i am to make a pair of boots . but what does a prince know of shoemaking ? if i ca n't do it , i lose my head . ' ' and what do you mean to do ? ' asked hyacinthia . ' well , what is there to be done ? what he demands i ca n't and wo n't do , so he must just make an end of me . ' ' not so , dearest . i love you dearly , and you shall marry me , and i 'll either save your life or die with you . we must fly now as quickly as we can , for there is no other way of escape . ' with these words she breathed on the window , and her breath froze on the pane . then she led milan out of the room with her , shut the door , and threw the key away . hand in hand , they hurried to the spot where they had descended into the lower world , and at last reached the banks of the lake . prince milan 's charger was still grazing on the grass which grew near the water . the horse no sooner recognized his master , than it neighed loudly with joy , and springing towards him , it stood as if rooted to the ground , while prince milan and hyacinthia jumped on its back . then it sped onwards like an arrow from a bow .

' what have you done ? ' she cried . ' why have you called me back to life ? for i have no desire to live since my bridegroom , the beautiful prince milan , has deserted me .

there was once upon a time a king called kojata , whose beard was so long that it reached below his knees . three years had passed since his marriage , and he lived very happily with his wife , but heaven granted him no heir , which grieved the king greatly . one day he set forth from his capital , in order to make a journey through his kingdom . he travelled for nearly a year through the different parts of his territory , and then , having seen all there was to be seen , he set forth on his homeward way . as the day was very hot and sultry he commanded his servants to pitch tents in the open field , and there await the cool of the evening . suddenly a frightful thirst seized the king , and as he saw no water near , he mounted his horse , and rode through the neighbourhood looking for a spring . before long he came to a well filled to the brim with water clear as crystal , and on the bosom of which a golden jug was floating . king kojata at once tried to seize the vessel , but though he endeavoured to grasp it with his right hand , and then with his left , the wretched thing always eluded his efforts and refused to let itself be caught . first with one hand , and then with two , did the king try to seize it , but like a fish the goblet always slipped through his fingers and bobbed to the ground only to reappear at some other place , and mock the king .

there was once upon a time a king called kojata , whose beard was so long that it reached below his knees . three years had passed since his marriage , and he lived very happily with his wife , but heaven granted him no heir , which grieved the king greatly . one day he set forth from his capital , in order to make a journey through his kingdom . he travelled for nearly a year through the different parts of his territory , and then , having seen all there was to be seen , he set forth on his homeward way . as the day was very hot and sultry he commanded his servants to pitch tents in the open field , and there await the cool of the evening . suddenly a frightful thirst seized the king , and as he saw no water near , he mounted his horse , and rode through the neighbourhood looking for a spring . before long he came to a well filled to the brim with water clear as crystal , and on the bosom of which a golden jug was floating . king kojata at once tried to seize the vessel , but though he endeavoured to grasp it with his right hand , and then with his left , the wretched thing always eluded his efforts and refused to let itself be caught . first with one hand , and then with two , did the king try to seize it , but like a fish the goblet always slipped through his fingers and bobbed to the ground only to reappear at some other place , and mock the king .

' plague on you ! ' said king kojata . ' i can quench my thirst without you , ' and bending over the well he lapped up the water so greedily that he plunged his face , beard and all , right into the crystal mirror . but when he had satisfied his thirst , and wished to raise himself up , he could n't lift his head , because someone held his beard fast in the water . ' who 's there ? let me go ! ' cried king kojata , but there was no answer ; only an awful face looked up from the bottom of the well with two great green eyes , glowing like emeralds , and a wide mouth reaching from ear to ear showing two rows of gleaming white teeth , and the king 's beard was held , not by mortal hands , but by two claws . at last a hoarse voice sounded from the depths . ' your trouble is all in vain , king kojata ; i will only let you go on condition that you give me something you know nothing about , and which you will find on your return home . ' the king did n't pause to ponder long , ' for what , ' thought he , ' could be in my palace without my knowing about it -- the thing is absurd ; ' so he answered quickly : ' yes , i promise that you shall have it . ' the voice replied , ' very well ; but it will go ill with you if you fail to keep your promise . ' then the claws relaxed their hold , and the face disappeared in the depths . the king drew his chin out of the water , and shook himself like a dog ; then he mounted his horse and rode thoughtfully home with his retinue .

' a fine day , prince milan , ' he said ; ' you 've kept me waiting a good number of years ; it was high time for you to come and pay me a visit . ' ' who are you , in the name of wonder ? ' demanded the astonished prince . ' you 'll find out soon enough , but in the meantime do as i bid you . greet your father king kojata from me , and do n't forget to remind him of his debt ; the time has long passed since it was due , but now he will have to pay it . farewell for the present ; we shall meet again . ' with these words the old man disappeared into the tree , and the prince returned home rather startled , and told his father all that he had seen and heard . the king grew as white as a sheet when he heard the prince 's story , and said , ' woe is me , my son ! the time has come when we must part , ' and with a heavy heart he told the prince what had happened at the time of his birth .

' do n't worry or distress yourself , dear father , ' answered prince milan . ' things are never as bad as they look . only give me a horse for my journey , and i wager you 'll soon see me back again . ' the king gave him a beautiful charger , with golden stirrups , and a sword . the queen hung a little cross round his neck , and after much weeping and lamentation the prince bade them all farewell and set forth on his journey . he rode straight on for two days , and on the third he came to a lake as smooth as glass and as clear as crystal . not a breath of wind moved , not a leaf stirred , all was silent as the grave , only on the still bosom of the lake thirty ducks , with brilliant plumage , swam about in the water . not far from the shore prince milan noticed thirty little white garments lying on the grass , and dismounting from his horse , he crept down under the high bulrushes , took one of the garments and hid himself with it behind the bushes which grew round the lake . the ducks swam about all over the place , dived down into the depths and rose again and glided through the waves . at last , tired of disporting themselves , they swam to the shore , and twenty - nine of them put on their little white garments and instantly turned into so many beautiful maidens . then they finished dressing and disappeared . only the thirtieth little duck could n't come to the land ; it swam about close to the shore , and , giving out a piercing cry , it stretched its neck up timidly , gazed wildly around , and then dived under again .

' now , do n't be so foolish , my dear prince ; but keep up your spirits , for there is no need to despair . go to bed , and when you wake up to - morrow morning the palace will be finished . then you must go all round it , giving a tap here and there on the walls to look as if you had just finished it . ' and so it all turned out just as she had said . as soon as it was daylight prince milan stepped out of his room , and found a palace which was quite a work of art down to the very smallest detail . the magician himself was not a little astonished at its beauty , and could hardly believe his eyes . ' well , you certainly are a splendid workman , ' he said to the prince . ' i see you are very clever with your hands , now i must see if you are equally accomplished with your head . i have thirty daughters in my house , all beautiful princesses . to - morrow i will place the whole thirty in a row . you must walk past them three times , and the third time you must show me which is my youngest daughter hyacinthia . if you do n't guess rightly , you shall lose your head .

' now , do n't be so foolish , my dear prince ; but keep up your spirits , for there is no need to despair . go to bed , and when you wake up to - morrow morning the palace will be finished . then you must go all round it , giving a tap here and there on the walls to look as if you had just finished it . ' and so it all turned out just as she had said . as soon as it was daylight prince milan stepped out of his room , and found a palace which was quite a work of art down to the very smallest detail . the magician himself was not a little astonished at its beauty , and could hardly believe his eyes . ' well , you certainly are a splendid workman , ' he said to the prince . ' i see you are very clever with your hands , now i must see if you are equally accomplished with your head . i have thirty daughters in my house , all beautiful princesses . to - morrow i will place the whole thirty in a row . you must walk past them three times , and the third time you must show me which is my youngest daughter hyacinthia . if you do n't guess rightly , you shall lose your head .

' this time you 've made a mistake , ' thought prince milan , and going to his room he sat down at the window . ' just fancy my not recognising the beautiful hyacinthia ! why , that is the easiest thing in the world . ' ' not so easy as you think , ' cried the little bee , who was flying past . ' if i were n't to help you , you 'd never guess . we are thirty sisters so exactly alike that our own father can hardly distinguish us apart . ' ' then what am i to do ? ' asked prince milan . ' listen , ' answered hyacinthia . ' you will recognise me by a tiny fly i shall have on my left cheek , but be careful for you might easily make a mistake . '

prince milan 's heart was so moved with pity for the poor little creature that he came out from behind the bulrushes , to see if he could be of any help . as soon as the duck perceived him , it cried in a human voice , ' oh , dear prince milan , for the love of heaven give me back my garment , and i will be so grateful to you . ' the prince lay the little garment on the bank beside her , and stepped back into the bushes . in a few seconds a beautiful girl in a white robe stood before him , so fair and sweet and young that no pen could describe her . she gave the prince her hand and spoke . ' many thanks , prince milan , for your courtesy . i am the daughter of a wicked magician , and my name is hyacinthia . my father has thirty young daughters , and is a mighty ruler in the underworld , with many castles and great riches . he has been expecting you for ages , but you need have no fear if you will only follow my advice . as soon as you come into the presence of my father , throw yourself at once on the ground and approach him on your knees . do n't mind if he stamps furiously with his feet and curses and swears . i 'll attend to the rest , and in the meantime we had better be off . ' with these words the beautiful hyacinthia stamped on the ground with her little foot , and the earth opened and they both sank down into the lower world . ' now , do n't be so foolish , my dear prince ; but keep up your spirits , for there is no need to despair . go to bed , and when you wake up to - morrow morning the palace will be finished . then you must go all round it , giving a tap here and there on the walls to look as if you had just finished it .

the prince returned to his room in despair ; then the princess hyacinthia came to him once more changed into the likeness of a bee , and asked him , ' why so sad , prince milan ? ' ' how can i help being sad ? your father has set me this time an impossible task . before a candle which he has lit burns to the socket , i am to make a pair of boots . but what does a prince know of shoemaking ? if i ca n't do it , i lose my head . ' ' and what do you mean to do ? ' asked hyacinthia . ' well , what is there to be done ? what he demands i ca n't and wo n't do , so he must just make an end of me . ' ' not so , dearest . i love you dearly , and you shall marry me , and i 'll either save your life or die with you . we must fly now as quickly as we can , for there is no other way of escape . ' with these words she breathed on the window , and her breath froze on the pane . then she led milan out of the room with her , shut the door , and threw the key away . hand in hand , they hurried to the spot where they had descended into the lower world , and at last reached the banks of the lake . prince milan 's charger was still grazing on the grass which grew near the water . the horse no sooner recognized his master , than it neighed loudly with joy , and springing towards him , it stood as if rooted to the ground , while prince milan and hyacinthia jumped on its back . then it sped onwards like an arrow from a bow .

' in a moment the princess hyacinthia had changed herself , the prince , and his charger into a thick wood where a thousand paths and roads crossed each other . their pursuers entered the forest , but searched in vain for prince milan and his bride . at last they found themselves back at the same spot they had started from , and in despair they returned once more with empty hands to the magician .

' i 'd like to wring their necks , ' said the magician , and made all haste home , where he had every one of his servants beaten to within an inch of their lives . prince milan rode on slowly with his bride without fearing any further pursuit . the sun was just setting , and its last rays lit up a large city they were approaching . prince milan was suddenly seized with an ardent desire to enter the town . ' oh my beloved , ' implored hyacinthia , ' please do n't go ; for i am frightened and fear some evil . ' ' what are you afraid of ? ' asked the prince .

' the busy cook was just going to refuse her demand and order her out of the kitchen , but the words died on his lips when he turned and beheld the beautiful hyacinthia , and he answered politely , ' you have just come in the nick of time , fair maiden . bake your cake , and i myself will lay it before prince milan . ' the cake was soon made . the invited guests were already thronging round the table , when the head cook entered the room , bearing a beautiful wedding cake on a silver dish , and laid it before prince milan . the guests were all lost in admiration , for the cake was quite a work of art . prince milan at once proceeded to cut it open , when to his surprise two white doves sprang out of it , and one of them said to the other : ' my dear mate , do not fly away and leave me , and forget me as prince milan forgot his beloved hyacinthia . ' milan sighed deeply when he heard what the little dove said . then he jumped up suddenly from the table and ran to the door , where he found the beautiful hyacinthia waiting for him . outside stood his faithful charger , pawing the ground . without pausing for a moment , milan and hyacinthia mounted him and galloped as fast as they could into the country of king kojata . the king and queen received them with such joy and gladness as had never been heard of before , and they all lived happily for the rest of their lives .
