At long last, the Prince arrives in Cherry Blossom Palace. Announcing that the time has come to choose his consort, he calls on the ladies one by one. But is his goal as simple as he claims?
"It gets cold," they told me with 
a laugh, but they do not mind that.
أخبراني أنهما يشعران بالبرد
.لكنهما لا يمانعان ذلك
Auch wenn es bitterkalt war,
wirkten sie glücklich und unbeschwert.
Me dijeron sonriendo que,
pese al frío, eran felices.
Por mucho frío que haga,
dicen no importarles con una sonrisa.
Ils me disaient qu’ils étaient heureux,
malgré le froid.
Ridevano dicendomi che anche
se avevano freddo non stavano poi male.
"É frio, mas não importa",
eles me disseram sorrindo.
Со смехом они сказали мне,
что холод не так уж страшен.
