And drawing the flask from his pocket , he poured two or three drops on the wound . ` Repeat this for three nights , and you will find yourself cured , ' said he . And before the king had time to thank him he had bowed himself out . Of course the news soon spread through the city , and men and women never tired of calling Gilguerillo an impostor , and prophesying that the end of the three days would see him in prison , if not on the scaffold . But Gilguerillo paid no heed to their hard words , and no more did the king , who took care that no hand but his own should put on the healing balsam . On the fourth morning the king awoke and instantly stretched out his wounded foot that he might prove the truth or falsehood of Gilguerillo 's remedy . The wound was certainly cured on that side , but how about the other ? Yes , that was cured also ; and not even a scar was left to show where it had been ! Was ever any king so happy as Balancin when he satisfied himself of this ? Lightly as a deer he jumped from his bed , and began to turn head over heels and to perform all sorts of antics , so as to make sure that his foot was in truth as well as it looked . And when he was quite tired he sent for his daughter , and bade the courtiers bring the lucky young man to his room . ` He is really young and handsome , ' said the princess to herself , heaving a sigh of relief that it was not some dreadful old man who had healed her father ; and while the king was announcing to his courtiers the wonderful cure that had been made , Diamantina was thinking that if Gilguerillo looked so well in his common dress , how much improved by the splendid garments of a king ' son . However , she held her peace , and only watched with amusement when the courtiers , knowing there was no help for it , did homage and obeisance to the chemist 's boy . Then they brought to Gilguerillo a magnificent tunic of green velvet bordered with gold , and a cap with three white plumes stuck in it ; and at the sight of him so arrayed , the princess fell in love with him in a moment . The wedding was fixed to take place in eight days , and at the ball afterwards nobody danced so long or so lightly as king Balancin . The Magic Book -LSB- From Capullos de Rosa , por D.
