` What is it ? ' ` You are never to take away any more of my father and mother 's children ! ' ` Now that I have got you , I do n't want any more , ' answered she . Then the boy turned to his father and said , ` Go in peace , dear father , and give my mother greeting and tell her not to be anxious any more , for she can keep all her children .

Hans von Stumme . -RRB- THE PRINCE WHO WANTED TO SEE THE WORLD There was once a king who had only one son , and this young man tormented his father from morning till night to allow him to travel in far countries . For a long time the king refused to give him leave ; but at last , wearied out , he granted permission , and ordered his treasurer to produce a large sum of money for the prince 's expenses . The youth was overjoyed at the thought that he was really going to see the world , and after tenderly embracing his father he set forth . He rode on for some weeks without meeting with any adventures ; but one night when he was resting at an inn , he came across another traveller , with whom he fell into conversation , in the course of which the stranger inquired if he never played cards . The young man replied that he was very fond of doing so . Cards were brought , and in a very short time the prince had lost every penny he possessed to his new acquaintance . When there was absolutely nothing left at the bottom of the bag , the stranger proposed that they should have just one more game , and that if the prince won he should have the money restored to him , but in case he lost , should remain in the inn for three years , and besides that should be his servant for another three . The prince agreed to those terms , played , and lost ; so the stranger took rooms for him , and furnished him with bread and water every day for three years . The prince lamented his lot , but it was no use ; and at the end of three years he was released and had to go to the house of the stranger , who was really the king of a neighbouring country , and be his servant . Before he had gone very far he met a woman carrying a child , which was crying from hunger . The prince took it from her , and fed it with his last crust of bread and last drop of water , and then gave it back to its mother . The woman thanked him gratefully , and said : ` Listen , my lord . You must walk straight on till you notice a very strong scent , which comes from a garden by the side of the road .
