Frisk , who was very small and could look closely into the water , cried out : `` I see a golden carp coming . '' And sure enough there was the great carp , who said to Charming : `` You saved my life in the meadow by the willow tree , and I promised that I would repay you . Take this , it is Princess Goldilock 's ring . '' Charming took the ring out of Dame Carp 's mouth , thanking her a thousand times , and he and tiny Frisk went straight to the palace , where someone told the Princess that he was asking to see her . `` Ah ! poor fellow , '' said she , `` he must have come to say good-by , finding it impossible to do as I asked . '' So in came Charming , who presented her with the ring and said : `` Madam , I have done your bidding . Will it please you to marry my master ? '' When the Princess saw her ring brought back to her unhurt she was so astonished that she thought she must be dreaming . `` Truly , Charming , '' said she , `` you must be the favorite of some fairy , or you could never have found it . '' `` Madam , '' answered he , `` I was helped by nothing but my desire to obey your wishes . '' `` Since you are so kind , '' said she , `` perhaps you will do me another service , for till it is done I will never be married . There is a prince not far from here whose name is Galifron , who once wanted to marry me , but when I refused he uttered the most terrible threats against me , and vowed that he would lay waste my country . But what could I do ? I could not marry a frightful giant as tall as a tower , who eats up people as a monkey eats chestnuts , and who talks so loud that anybody who has to listen to him becomes quite deaf . Nevertheless , he does not cease to persecute me and to kill my subjects . So before I can listen to your proposal you must kill him and bring me his head . '' Charming was rather dismayed at this command , but he answered : `` Very well , Princess , I will fight this Galifron ; I believe that he will kill me , but at any rate I shall die in your defense . '' Then the Princess was frightened and said everything she could think of to prevent Charming from fighting the giant , but it was of no use , and he went out to arm himself suitably , and then , taking little Frisk with him , he mounted his horse and set out for Galifron 's country . Everyone he met told him what a terrible giant Galifron was , and that nobody dared go near him ; and the more he heard , the more frightened he grew .
Frisk tried to encourage him XXXXX saying : `` While you are fighting the giant , dear master , I will go and bite his heels , and when he stoops down to look at me you can kill him . ''
