But he did not do that ; he knew another way of spending his money . If he spent a shilling he got back a florin-such an excellent merchant he was till he died . Now his son inherited all this money . He lived very merrily ; he went every night to the theatre , made paper kites out of five-pound notes , and played ducks and drakes with sovereigns instead of stones . In this way the money was likely to come soon to an end , and so it did . At last he had nothing left but four shillings , and he had no clothes except a pair of slippers and an old dressing-gown . His friends did not trouble themselves any more about him ; they would not even walk down the street with him . But one of them who was rather good-natured sent him an old trunk with the message , ` Pack up ! '' That was all very well , but he had nothing to pack up , so he got into the trunk himself . It was an enchanted trunk , for as soon as the lock was pressed it could fly . He pressed it , and away he flew in it up the chimney , high into the clouds , further and further away . But whenever the bottom gave a little creak he was in terror lest the trunk should go to pieces , for then he would have turned a dreadful somersault-just think of it ! In this way he arrived at the land of the Turks . He hid the trunk in a wood under some dry leaves , and then walked into the town . He could do that quite well , for all the Turks were dressed just as he was-in a dressing-gown and slippers . He met a nurse with a little child . ` Halloa ! you Turkish nurse , ' said he , ` what is that great castle there close to the town ? The one with the windows so high up ? ' ` The sultan 's daughter lives there , ' she replied .
` It is prophesied that she will be very unlucky in her husband , and so no one is allowed XXXXX see her except when the sultan and sultana are by . '
