then he determined to carry some to the nearest town and try to sell them ; and as no one had ever before seen any like them the people flocked about him eagerly and bought all he had caught , so that presently not a house in the city was considered complete without a crystal bowl full of fish , and the king 's customers were very particular about having them to match the rest of the furniture , and gave him a vast amount of trouble in choosing them . however , the money he obtained in this way enabled him to buy the queen her flock of sheep , as well as many of the other things which go to make life pleasant , so that they never once regretted their lost kingdom .

now it happened that the fairy of the beech - woods lived in the lovely valley to which chance had led the poor fugitives , and it was she who had , in pity for their forlorn condition , sent the king such good luck to his fishing , and generally taken them under her protection . this she was all the more inclined to do as she loved children , and little prince featherhead , who never cried and grew prettier day by day , quite won her heart . she made the acquaintance of the king and the queen without at first letting them know that she was a fairy , and they soon took a great fancy to her , and even trusted her with the precious prince , whom she carried off to her palace , where she regaled him with cakes and tarts and every other good thing . this was the way she chose of making him fond of her ; but afterwards , as he grew older , she spared no pains in educating and training him as a prince should be trained . but unfortunately , in spite of all her care , he grew so vain and frivolous that he quitted his peaceful country life in disgust , and rushed eagerly after all the foolish gaieties of the neighbouring town , where his handsome face and charming manners speedily made him popular . the king and queen deeply regretted this alteration in their son , but did not know how to mend matters , since the good old fairy had made him so self - willed .

just at this time the fairy of the beech - woods received a visit from an old friend of hers called saradine , who rushed into her house so breathless with rage that she could hardly speak . ' dear , dear ! what is the matter ? ' said the fairy of the beech - woods soothingly . ' the matter ! ' cried saradine . ' you shall soon hear all about it . you know that , not content with endowing celandine , princess of the summer islands , with everything she could desire to make her charming , i actually took the trouble to bring her up myself ; and now what does she do but come to me with more coaxings and caresses than usual to beg a favour . and what do you suppose this favour turns out to be -- when i have been cajoled into promising to grant it ? ' " nothing more nor less than a request that i will take back all my gifts -- since , " says my young madam , " if i have the good fortune to please you , how am i to know that it is really i , myself ? and that 's how it will be all my life long , whenever i meet anybody . you see what a weariness my life will be to me under these circumstances , and yet i assure you i am not ungrateful to you for all your kindness ! " ' i did all i could , ' continued saradine , ' to make her think better of it , but in vain ; so after going through the usual ceremony for taking back my gifts , i 'm come to you for a little peace and quietness . but , after all , i have not taken anything of consequence from this provoking celandine . nature had already made her so pretty , and given her such a ready wit of her own , that she will do perfectly well without me . however , i thought she deserved a little lesson , so to begin with i have whisked her off into the desert , and there left her !

' what ! all alone , and without any means of existence ? ' cried the kind - hearted old fairy . ' you had better hand her over to me . i do n't think so very badly of her after all . i 'll just cure her vanity by making her love someone better than herself . really , when i come to consider of it , i declare the little minx has shown more spirit and originality in the matter than one expects of a princess . ' saradine willingly consented to this arrangement , and the old fairy 's first care was to smooth away all the difficulties which surrounded the princess , and lead her by the mossy path overhung with trees to the bower of the king and queen , who still pursued their peaceful life in the valley . they were immensely surprised at her appearance , but her charming face , and the deplorably ragged condition to which the thorns and briers had reduced her once elegant attire , speedily won their compassion ; they recognised her as a companion in misfortune , and the queen welcomed her heartily , and begged her to share their simple repast . celandine gracefully accepted their hospitality , and soon told them what had happened to her . the king was charmed with her spirit , while the queen thought she had indeed been daring thus to go against the fairy 's wishes . ' since it has ended in my meeting you , ' said the princess , ' i can not regret the step i have taken , and if you will let me stay with you , i shall be perfectly happy . '

' the king and queen were only too delighted to have this charming princess to supply the place of prince featherhead , whom they saw but seldom , since the fairy had provided him with a palace in the neighbouring town , where he lived in the greatest luxury , and did nothing but amuse himself from morning to night . so celandine stayed , and helped the queen to keep house , and very soon they loved her dearly . when the fairy of the beech - woods came to them , they presented the princess to her , and told her story , little thinking that the fairy knew more about celandine than they did . the old fairy was equally delighted with her , and often invited her to visit her leafy palace , which was the most enchanting place that could be imagined , and full of treasures . often she would say to the princess , when showing her some wonderful thing :

however , she did not even hint to the princess that featherhead was anything but absolutely perfect , and talked of him so much that when at last she announced that he was coming to visit her , celandine made up her mind that this delightful prince would be certain to fall in love with her at once , and was quite pleased at the idea . the old fairy thought so too , but as this was not at all what she wished , she took care to throw such an enchantment over the princess that she appeared to featherhead quite ugly and awkward , though to every one else she looked just as usual . so when he arrived at the leafy palace , more handsome and fascinating even than ever she had been led to expect , he hardly so much as glanced at the princess , but bestowed all his attention upon the old fairy , to whom he seemed to have a hundred things to say . the princess was immensely astonished at his indifference , and put on a cold and offended air , which , however , he did not seem to observe . then as a last resource she exerted all her wit and gaiety to amuse him , but with no better success , for he was of an age to be more attracted by beauty than by anything else , and though he responded politely enough , it was evident that his thoughts were elsewhere . celandine was deeply mortified , since for her part the prince pleased her very well , and for the first time she bitterly regretted the fairy gifts she had been anxious to get rid of . prince featherhead was almost equally puzzled , for he had heard nothing from the king and queen but the praises of this charming princess , and the fact that they had spoken of her as so very beautiful only confirmed his opinion that people who live in the country have no taste . he talked to them of his charming acquaintances in the town , the beauties he had admired , did admire , or thought he was going to admire , until celandine , who heard it all , was ready to cry with vexation . the fairy too was quite shocked at his conceit , and hit upon a plan for curing him of it . she sent to him by an unknown messenger a portrait of princess celandine as she really was , with this inscription : ' all this beauty and sweetness , with a loving heart and a great kingdom , might have been yours but for your well - known fickleness .

celandine was deeply mortified , since for her part the prince pleased her very well , and for the first time she bitterly regretted the fairy gifts she had been anxious to get rid of . prince featherhead was almost equally puzzled , for he had heard nothing from the king and queen but the praises of this charming princess , and the fact that they had spoken of her as so very beautiful only confirmed his opinion that people who live in the country have no taste . he talked to them of his charming acquaintances in the town , the beauties he had admired , did admire , or thought he was going to admire , until celandine , who heard it all , was ready to cry with vexation . the fairy too was quite shocked at his conceit , and hit upon a plan for curing him of it . she sent to him by an unknown messenger a portrait of princess celandine as she really was , with this inscription : ' all this beauty and sweetness , with a loving heart and a great kingdom , might have been yours but for your well - known fickleness . ' meanwhile , the princess celandine had been finding the time pass but slowly with the king and queen , and was only too pleased when featherhead reappeared . she at once noticed the change in him , and was deeply curious to find the reason of it . far from avoiding her , he now sought her company and seemed to take pleasure in talking to her , and yet the princess did not for a moment flatter herself with the idea that he was in love with her , though it did not take her long to decide that he certainly loved someone . but one day the princess , wandering sadly by the river , spied prince featherhead fast asleep in the shade of a tree , and stole nearer to enjoy the delight of gazing at his dear face unobserved . judge of her astonishment when she saw that he was holding in his hand a portrait of herself ! in vain did she puzzle over the apparent contradictoriness of his behaviour . why did he cherish her portrait while he was so fatally indifferent to herself ? at last she found an opportunity of asking him the name of the princess whose picture he carried about with him always .

' why should you not ? ' said the princess timidly . ' surely there is nothing to prevent you . ' ' nothing to prevent me ! ' repeated he , ' when my utmost efforts have failed to discover the lovely original . should i be so sad if i could but find her ? but i do not even know her name . ' more surprised than ever , the princess asked to be allowed to see the portrait , and after examining it for a few minutes returned it , remarking shyly that at least the original had every cause to be satisfied with it . ' that means that you consider it flattered , ' said the prince severely . ' really , celandine , i thought better of you , and should have expected you to be above such contemptible jealousy . but all women are alike ! ' ' indeed , i meant only that it was a good likeness , ' said the princess meekly . ' then you know the original , ' cried the prince , throwing himself on his knees beside her . ' pray tell me at once who it is , and do n't keep me in suspense ! ' ' oh ! do n't you see that it is meant for me ? ' cried celandine . the prince sprang to his feet , hardly able to refrain from telling her that she must be blinded by vanity to suppose she resembled the lovely portrait even in the slightest degree ; and after gazing at her for an instant with icy surprise , turned and left her without another word , and in a few hours quitted the leafy palace altogether .

' oh ! i know you are only trying to take me in , ' answered she ; ' and if i do let you serve me , is it fitting that you should be so much better dressed i am ? if i keep you , will you give me your clothes and wear some that i will provide you with ? it is true that i am getting old and may want someone to take care of me some day . ' ' oh ! for pity 's sake , do what you please with my clothes , ' cried poor celandine miserably . and the old woman hobbled off with great alacrity , and fetched a little bundle containing a wretched dress , such as the princess had never even seen before , and nimbly skipped round , helping her to put it on instead of her own rich robe , with many exclamations of : ' saints!--what a magnificent lining ! and the width of it ! it will make me four dresses at least . why , child , i wonder you could walk under such a weight , and certainly in my house you would not have had room to turn round . ' so saying , she folded up the robe , and put it by with great care , while she remarked to celandine : ' that dress of mine certainly suits you to a marvel ; be sure you take great care of it .

whereupon she handed celandine a small piece of black bread and uncovered the dish , which contained two dried plums . ' we will have one between us , ' continued the old dame ; ' and as you are the visitor , you shall have the half which contains the stone ; but be very careful that you do n't swallow it , for i keep them against the winter , and you have no idea what a good fire they make . now , you take my advice -- which wo n't cost you anything -- and remember that it is always more economical to buy fruit with stones on this account .

' we will have one between us , ' continued the old dame ; ' and as you are the visitor , you shall have the half which contains the stone ; but be very careful that you do n't swallow it , for i keep them against the winter , and you have no idea what a good fire they make . now , you take my advice -- which wo n't cost you anything -- and remember that it is always more economical to buy fruit with stones on this account . ' celandine , absorbed in her own sad thoughts , did not even hear this prudent counsel , and quite forgot to eat her share of the plum , which delighted the old woman , who put it by carefully for her breakfast , saying : ' i am very much pleased with you , and if you go on as you have begun , we shall do very well , and i can teach you many useful things which people do n't generally know . for instance , look at my house ! it is built entirely of the seeds of all the pears i have eaten in my life . now , most people throw them away , and that only shows what a number of things are wasted for want of a little patience and ingenuity . ' but celandine did not find it possible to be interested in this and similar pieces of advice . and the old woman soon sent her to bed , for fear the night air might give her an appetite . she passed a sleepless night ; but in the morning the old dame remarked : ' i heard how well you slept . after such a night you can not want any breakfast ; so while i do my household tasks you had better stay in bed , since the more one sleeps the less one need eat ; and as it is market - day i will go to town and buy a pennyworth of bread for the week 's eating .

and so she chattered on , but poor celandine did not hear or heed her ; she wandered out into the desolate country to think over her sad fate . however , the good fairy of the beech - woods did not want her to be starved , so she sent her an unlooked for relief in the shape of a beautiful white cow , which followed her back to the tiny house . when the old woman saw it her joy knew no bounds . ' now we can have milk and cheese and butter ! ' cried she . ' ah ! how good milk is ! what a pity it is so ruinously expensive ! ' so they made a little shelter of branches for the beautiful creature which was quite gentle , and followed celandine about like a dog when she took it out every day to graze .

one morning as she sat by a little brook , thinking sadly , she suddenly saw a young stranger approaching , and got up quickly , intending to avoid him . but prince featherhead , for it was he , perceiving her at the same moment , rushed towards her with every demonstration of joy : for he had recognised her , not as the celandine whom he had slighted , but as the lovely princess whom he had sought vainly for so long . the fact was that the fairy of the beech - woods , thinking she had been punished enough , had withdrawn the enchantment from her , and transferred it to featherhead , thereby in an instant depriving him of the good looks which had done so much towards making him the fickle creature he was . throwing himself down at the princess 's feet , he implored her to stay , and at least speak to him , and she at last consented , but only because he seemed to wish it so very much . after that he came every day in the hope of meeting her again , and often expressed his delight at being with her . but one day , when he had been begging celandine to love him , she confided to him that it was quite impossible , since her heart was already entirely occupied by another .

' my portrait ? ' cried celandine with sudden interest . ' is it possible that prince featherhead can have parted with it ? ' ' he would part with his life sooner , lovely princess , ' answered he ; ' i can assure you of that , for i am prince featherhead . ' at the same moment the fairy of the beech - woods took away the enchantment , and the happy princess recognised her lover , now truly hers , for the trials they had both undergone had so changed and improved them that they were capable of a real love for each other . you may imagine how perfectly happy they were , and how much they had to hear and to tell . but at length it was time to go back to the little house , and as they went along celandine remembered for the first time what a ragged old dress she was wearing , and what an odd appearance she must present . but the prince declared that it became her vastly , and that he thought it most picturesque . when they reached the house the old woman received them very crossly . ' i declare , ' said she , ' that it 's perfectly true : wherever there is a girl you may be sure that a young man will appear before long ! but do n't imagine that i 'm going to have you here -- not a bit of it , be off with you , my fine fellow ! ' prince featherhead was inclined to be angry at this uncivil reception , but he was really too happy to care much , so he only demanded , on celandine 's behalf , that the old dame should give her back her own attire , that she might go away suitably dressed . this request roused her to fury , since she had counted upon the princess 's fine robes to clothe her for the rest of her life , so that it was some time before the prince could make himself heard to explain that he was willing to pay for them .

at last the woman came back again , and said in a gruff voice , ' good evening , zachiel ; when the young moon shines in the basket , you are freed early , zachiel . ' then joringel was free . he fell on his knees before the old woman and implored her to give him back his jorinde , but she said he should never have her again , and then went away . he called after her , he wept and lamented , but all in vain . ' what is to become of me ! ' he thought . then he went away , and came at last to a strange village , where he kept sheep for a long time . he often went round the castle while he was there , but never too close . at last he dreamt one night that he had found a blood - red flower , which had in its centre a beautiful large pearl .

at last the woman came back again , and said in a gruff voice , ' good evening , zachiel ; when the young moon shines in the basket , you are freed early , zachiel . ' then joringel was free . he fell on his knees before the old woman and implored her to give him back his jorinde , but she said he should never have her again , and then went away . he called after her , he wept and lamented , but all in vain . ' what is to become of me ! ' he thought . then he went away , and came at last to a strange village , where he kept sheep for a long time . he often went round the castle while he was there , but never too close . at last he dreamt one night that he had found a blood - red flower , which had in its centre a beautiful large pearl . he plucked this flower and went with it to the castle ; and there everything which he touched with the flower was freed from the enchantment , and he got his jorinde back again through it . when he awoke in the morning he began to seek mountain and valley to find such a flower . he sought it for eight days , and on the ninth early in the morning he found the blood - red flower . in its centre was a large dew - drop , as big as the most lovely pearl . he travelled day and night with this flower till he arrived at the castle . when he came within a hundred paces of it he did not cease to be able to move , but he went on till he reached the gate .

" " it is not , " said the druid , " but it is the man who is to conquer midna . one is coming to tara this night before whose glory all other glory shall wax dim . " shortly after that they heard the voices of the doorkeepers raised in contention , as if they would repel from the hall someone who wished to enter , then a slight scuffle , and after that a strange figure entered the chamber . he was dressed in the skins of wild beasts , and wore over his shoulders a huge thick cloak of wild boars ' skins , fastened on the breast with a white tusk of the same animal . he wore a shield and two spears . though of huge stature his face was that of a boy , smooth on the cheeks and lips . it was white and ruddy , and very handsome . his hair was like refined gold . a light seemed to go out from him , before which the candles burned dim . it was finn . he stood in the doorway , and cried out in a strong and sonorous , but musical , voice :

" " thou art welcome whoever thou art , " answered the king , " and doubly welcome because thou art unfortunate . i think , such is thy face and form , that thou art the son of some mighty king on whom disaster has fallen undeserved . the high gods of erin grant thee speedy restoration and strong vengeance of thy many wrongs . sit here , o noble youth , between me and my only son , art , heir to my kingdom . " an attendant took his weapons from the youth and hung them on the wall with the rest , and finn sat down between the king of ireland and his only son . choice food was set before him , which he ate , and old ale , which he drank . from the moment he entered no one thought of anything but of him . when finn had made an end of eating and drinking , he said to the king :

" conn the hundred - fighter answered , " our grief is not such as you suppose ; and why should i not tell a cause of shame , which is known far and wide ? this , then , is the reason of our being together , and the gloom which is over us . there is a mighty enchanter whose dwelling is in the haunted mountains of slieve gullion in the north . his name is allen , son of midna , and his enmity to me is as great as his power . once every year , at this season , it is his pleasure to burn tara . descending out of his wizard haunts , he standeth over against the city and shoots balls of fire out of his mouth against it , till it is consumed . then he goes away mocking and triumphant . this annual building of tara , only to be annually consumed , is a shame to me , and till this enchanter declared war against me , i have lived without reproach .
