The Prince and Princess thanked her with all their hearts , and declared that to her they owed all their happiness , and then the two Princesses , who had so lately been Mice , came and begged that the Fairy would use her power to release their unhappy friends who were still under the Enchanter 's spell . ` Really , ' said the Fairy Douceline , ` on this happy occasion I can not find it in my heart to refuse you anything . ' And she gave three strokes of her wand upon the Golden Branch , and immediately all the prisoners in the Enchanter 's castle found themselves free , and came with all speed to the wonderful garden , where one touch of the Golden Branch restored each one to his natural form , and they greeted one another with many rejoicings . To complete her generous work the Fairy presented them with the wonderful cabinet and all the treasures it contained , which were worth at least ten kingdoms . But to Prince Peerless and the Princess Sunbeam she gave the palace and garden of the Golden Branch , where , immensely rich and greatly beloved by all their subjects , they lived happily ever after . -LRB- 18 -RRB- -LRB- 18 -RRB- Le Rameau d'Or . Par Madame d'Aulnoy . THE THREE DWARFS THERE was once upon a time a man who lost his wife , and a woman who lost her husband ; and the man had a daughter and so had the woman . The two girls were great friends and used often to play together . One day the woman turned to the man 's daughter and said : ` Go and tell your father that I will marry him , and then you shall wash in milk and drink wine , but my own daughter shall wash in water and drink it too . ' The girl went straight home and told her father what the woman had said . ` What am I to do ? ' he answered . ` Marriage is either a success or it is a failure . ' At last , being of an undecided character and not being able to make up his mind , he took off his boot , and handing it to his daughter , said : ` Take this boot which has a hole in the sole , hang it up on a nail in the hayloft , and pour water into it . If it holds water I will marry again , but if it does n't I wo n't . ' The girl did as she was bid , but the water drew the hole together and the boot filled up to the very top . So she went and told her father the result . He got up and went to see for himself , and when he saw that it was true and no mistake , he accepted his fate , proposed to the widow , and they were married at once . On the morning after the wedding , when the two girls awoke , milk was standing for the man 's daughter to wash in and wine for her to drink ; but for the woman 's daughter , only water to wash in and only water to drink .
XXXXX the second morning , water to wash in and water to drink was standing for the man 's daughter as well .
