- (continued from previous page)pieces out of their hair to see if by any chance they would marry her.
This boy was there and his clothes were all torn. And when they saw him going into the place all the people were saying, "Surely it is not you that she is going to marry."
All the people had their piece of hair in their hands to know was it the same as the piece the King had in his hand. The bit of hair the King had in his hands was not like any of that belonging to the other people; but this boy who was waiting to go into the palace , all the people were saying, "Surely it is not you."
But that was the boy that the piece of hair was just like his own hair.
So he married the princess and they lived in the palace very happy for ever after.
