The King of the Peacocks made ample amends to the King and Prince for the way in which they had been treated , and did everything in his power to show how sorry he was . The nurse restored to Rosette all her dresses and jewels , and the bushel of gold pieces ; the wedding was held at once , and they all lived happily ever after -- even to Frisk , who enjoyed the greatest luxury , and never had anything worse than the wing of a partridge for dinner all the rest of his life . -LRB- 7 -RRB- -LRB- 7 -RRB- Madame d'Aulnoy . THE ENCHANTED PIG ONCE upon a time there lived a King who had three daughters . Now it happened that he had to go out to battle , so he called his daughters and said to them : ` My dear children , I am obliged to go to the wars . The enemy is approaching us with a large army . It is a great grief to me to leave you all . During my absence take care of yourselves and be good girls ; behave well and look after everything in the house . You may walk in the garden , and you may go into all the rooms in the palace , except the room at the back in the right-hand corner ; into that you must not enter , for harm would befall you . ' ` You may keep your mind easy , father , ' they replied . ` We have never been disobedient to you . Go in peace , and may heaven give you a glorious victory ! ' When everything was ready for his departure , the King gave them the keys of all the rooms and reminded them once more of what he had said . His daughters kissed his hands with tears in their eyes , and wished him prosperity , and he gave the eldest the keys . Now when the girls found themselves alone they felt so sad and dull that they did not know what to do . So , to pass the time , they decided to work for part of the day , to read for part of the day , and to enjoy themselves in the garden for part of the day . As long as they did this all went well with them . But this happy state of things did not last long . Every day they grew more and more curious , and you will see what the end of that was . ` Sisters , ' said the eldest Princess , ` all day long we sew , spin , and read .
We have been several days quite alone , and there is no corner of the garden XXXXX we have not explored .
