    a beautiful chariot approaching. The young lady who was sleeping in the castle was in search of the person who had stolen her shoe. She called the servants together and she said she would marry whoever her shoe would fit. The young prince was the only person whom the shoe would fit. She told the king he was the boy who brought the bottle of water from the castle. The king then ordered the two heartless boys to be beheaded. The young prince received all his father death and he married the young lady who had rescued him from slavery.
