The moment she was out of sight she broke her almond , and drew from it the most magnificent petticoats that ever were seen . Then she went back to the castle , and asked if the princess wished to buy any petticoats . No sooner did the princess cast her eyes on the petticoats than she declared they were even more beautiful than the mantle , and that she would give the maiden whatever price she wanted for them . And the maiden named many pieces of gold , which the princess paid her gladly , so pleased was she with her new possessions . Then the girl went down the steps where none could watch her and cracked her walnut , and out came the most splendid court dress that any dressmaker had ever invented ; and , carrying it carefully in her arms , she knocked at the door , and asked if the princess wished to buy a court dress . When the message was delivered the princess sprang to her feet with delight , for she had been thinking that after all it was not much use to have a lovely mantle and elegant petticoats if she had no dress , and she knew the tailors would never be ready in time . So she sent at once to say she would buy the dress , and what sum did the maiden want for it . This time the maiden answered that the price of the dress was the permission to see the bridegroom . The princess was not at all pleased when she heard the maiden 's reply , but , as she could not do without the dress , she was forced to give in , and contented herself with thinking that after all it did not matter much . So the maiden was led to the rooms which had been given to her husband . And when she came near she touched him with the sprig of rosemary that she carried ; and his memory came back , and he knew her , and kissed her , and declared that she was his true wife , and that he loved her and no other . Then they went back to the maiden 's home , and grew to be very old , and lived happy all the days of their life . The White Dove From the Danish . A king had two sons . They were a pair of reckless fellows , who always had something foolish to do . One day they rowed out alone on the sea in a little boat . It was beautiful weather when they set out , but as soon as they had got some distance from the shore there arose a terrific storm . The oars went overboard at once , and the little boat was tossed about on the rolling billows like a nut-shell . The princes had to hold fast by the seats to keep from being thrown out of the boat . In the midst of all this they met a wonderful vessel -- it was a dough-trough , in which there sat an old woman .
She called to them , and said that they could still get XXXXX shore alive if they would promise her the son that was next to come to their mother the queen .
