asked the Prince , when all the others had tried on the shoe , for he understood the song of birds and it came to his mind what the bird had said . ` Oh ! that creature ! ' said the others ; ` it 's not the least use for her to come here , for she has feet like a horse ! ' ` That may be , ' said the Prince , ` but as all the others have tried it , Kari may try it too . ' ` Kari ! ' he called out through the door , and Kari came upstairs , and her wooden gown clattered as if a whole regiment of dragoons were coming up . ` Now , you are to try on the gold shoe and be a Princess , ' said the other servants , and they laughed at her and mocked her . Kari took up the shoe , put her foot into it as easily as possible , and then threw off her wooden gown , and there she stood in the golden gown which flashed like rays of sunshine , and on her other foot she had the fellow to the gold shoe . The Prince knew her in a moment , and was so glad that he ran and took her in his arms and kissed her , and when he heard that she was a King 's daughter he was gladder still , and then they had the wedding . -LRB- 14 -RRB- -LRB- 14 -RRB- From P. C. Asbjornsen . DRAKESTAIL DRAKESTAIL was very little , that is why he was called Drakestail ; but tiny as he was he had brains , and he knew what he was about , for having begun with nothing he ended by amassing a hundred crowns . Now the King of the country , who was very extravagant and never kept any money , having heard that Drakestail had some , went one day in his own person to borrow his hoard , and , my word , in those days Drakestail was not a little proud of having lent money to the King . But after the first and second year , seeing that they never even dreamed of paying the interest , he became uneasy , so much so that at last he resolved to go and see His Majesty himself , and get repaid . So one fine morning Drakestail , very spruce and fresh , takes the road , singing : ` Quack , quack , quack , when shall I get my money back ? ' He had not gone far when he met friend Fox , on his rounds that way . ` Good-morning , neighbour , ' says the friend , ` where are you off to so early ? ' ' I am going to the King for what he owes me . ' ` Oh ! take me with thee ! '
Drakestail said XXXXX himself : ` One ca n't have too many friends . '
