Ring instantly took the skin and burned it , and then shook the Prince , who was lying unconscious , until he woke up . The bridegroom then asked his name ; he replied that he was called Ring , and was a King 's son . In his youth he had lost his mother , and in her place his father had married a witch , who had laid a spell on him that he should turn into a dog , and never be released from the spell unless a Prince of the same name as himself allowed him to sleep at his feet the first night after his marriage . He added further , ` As soon as she knew that you were my namesake she tried to get you destroyed , so that you might not free me from the spell . She was the hind that you and your companions chased ; she was the woman that you found in the clearing with the barrel , and the old hag that we just now killed in the cave . ' After the feasting was over the two namesakes , along with other men , went to the cliff and brought all the treasure home to the Palace . Then they went to the island and removed all that was valuable from it . Ring gave to his namesake , whom he had freed from the spell , his sister Ingiborg and his father 's kingdom to look after , but he himself stayed with his father-in-law the King , and had half the kingdom while he lived and the whole of it after his death . THE SWINEHERD There was once a poor Prince . He possessed a kingdom which , though small , was yet large enough for him to marry on , and married he wished to be . Now it was certainly a little audacious of him to venture to say to the Emperor 's daughter , ` Will you marry me ? ' But he did venture to say so , for his name was known far and wide . There were hundreds of princesses who would gladly have said ` Yes , ' but would she say the same ? Well , we shall see . On the grave of the Prince 's father grew a rose-tree , a very beautiful rose-tree . It only bloomed every five years , and then bore but a single rose , but oh , such a rose ! Its scent was so sweet that when you smelt it you forgot all your cares and troubles . And he had also a nightingale which could sing as if all the beautiful melodies in the world were shut up in its little throat . This rose and this nightingale the Princess was to have , and so they were both put into silver caskets and sent to her . The Emperor had them brought to him in the great hall , where the Princess was playing ` Here comes a duke a-riding ' with her ladies-in-waiting .
And when she caught sight XXXXX the big caskets which contained the presents , she clapped her hands for joy .
