Then he summoned his son , and revealed to him that he had got the false bride , who was nothing but a waiting-maid , while the real one , in the guise of the ex-goose-girl , was standing at his side . The young King rejoiced from his heart when he saw her beauty and learned how good she was , and a great banquet was prepared , to which everyone was bidden . The bridegroom sat at the head of the table , the Princess on one side of him and the waiting-maid on the other ; but she was so dazzled that she did not recognize the Princess in her glittering garments . Now when they had eaten and drunk , and were merry , the old King asked the waiting-maid to solve a knotty point for him . `` What , '' said he , `` should be done to a certain person who has deceived everyone ? '' and he proceeded to relate the whole story , ending up with , `` Now what sentence should be passed ? '' Then the false bride answered : `` She deserves to be put stark naked into a barrel lined with sharp nails , which should be dragged by two white horses up and down the street till she is dead . '' `` You are the person , '' said the King , `` and you have passed sentence on yourself ; and even so it shall be done to you . '' And when the sentence had been carried out the young King was married to his real bride , and both reigned over the kingdom in peace and happiness . -LRB- 1 -RRB- -LRB- 1 -RRB- Grimm . TOADS AND DIAMONDS THERE was once upon a time a widow who had two daughters . The eldest was so much like her in the face and humor that whoever looked upon the daughter saw the mother . They were both so disagreeable and so proud that there was no living with them . The youngest , who was the very picture of her father for courtesy and sweetness of temper , was withal one of the most beautiful girls ever seen . As people naturally love their own likeness , this mother even doted on her eldest daughter and at the same time had a horrible aversion for the youngest -- she made her eat in the kitchen and work continually . Among other things , this poor child was forced twice a day to draw water above a mile and a-half off the house , and bring home a pitcher full of it . One day , as she was at this fountain , there came to her a poor woman , who begged of her to let her drink . `` Oh ! ay , with all my heart , Goody , '' said this pretty little girl ; and rinsing immediately the pitcher , she took up some water from the clearest place of the fountain , and gave it to her , holding up the pitcher all the while , that she might drink the easier . The good woman , having drunk , said to her : `` You are so very pretty , my dear , so good and so mannerly , that I can not help giving you a gift . ''
For this was a fairy , who had taken the form of a poor country woman , XXXXX see how far the civility and good manners of this pretty girl would go .
