    and the kings daughter waiting on him at night. When the princess returned she told her father she had dreamt about waiting on a soldier next night she hid her shoe in his room and in the morning she told the king the same story. The shoe was found and the soldier was cast into prison and sentenced to be hanged.
    As he was to be hanged he lit his pipe at the blue light and wished to be free. He was set free and afterwards married the king's daughter.
