So when the day approached he put on his invisible belt , took a sack of gold pieces with him , and slipping into her room in the middle of the night , he placed the bag of gold beside her bed and returned to his sheep . The girl 's joy was great , and so was her parents ' next day when they found the sack full of gold pieces . The Herd-boy was so pleased to think what pleasure he had given that the next night he placed another bag of gold beside the girl 's bed . And this he continued to do for seven nights , and the girl and her parents made up their minds that it must be a good Fairy who brought the gold every night . But one night they determined to watch , and see from their hiding place who the bringer of the sack of gold really was . On the eighth night a fearful storm of wind and rain came on while the Herd-boy was on his way to bring the beautiful girl another bag of gold . Then for the first time he noticed , just as he reached his master 's house , that he had forgotten the belt which made him invisible . He did n't like the idea of going back to his hut in the wind and wet , so he just stepped as he was into the girl 's room , laid the sack of gold beside her , and was turning to leave the room , when his master confronted him and said , ` You young rogue , so you were going to steal the gold that a good Fairy brings every night , were you ? ' The Herd-boy was so taken aback by his words , that he stood trembling before him , and did not dare to explain his presence . Then his master spoke . ` As you have hitherto always behaved well in my service I will not send you to prison ; but leave your place instantly and never let me see your face again . ' So the Herd-boy went back to his hut , and taking his loaf and belt with him , he went to the nearest town . There he bought himself some fine clothes , and a beautiful coach with four horses , hired two servants , and drove back to his master . You may imagine how astonished he was to see his Herd-boy returning to him in this manner ! Then the youth told him of the piece of good luck that had befallen him , and asked him for the hand of his beautiful daughter . This was readily granted , and the two lived in peace and happiness to the end of their lives . THE INVISIBLE PRINCE Once upon a time there lived a Fairy who had power over the earth , the sea , fire , and the air ; and this Fairy had four sons . The eldest , who was quick and lively , with a vivid imagination , she made Lord of Fire , which was in her opinion the noblest of all the elements . To the second son , whose wisdom and prudence made amends for his being rather dull , she gave the government of the earth . The third was wild and savage , and of monstrous stature ; and the Fairy , his mother , who was ashamed of his defects , hoped to hide them by creating him King of the Seas .
The youngest , who was the slave of his passions and XXXXX a very uncertain temper , became Prince of the Air .
