He ordered his swiftest horse to be saddled , mounted , and rode off alone into a forest at some little distance . Here lived a kindly fairy called Adolzaide , who had often helped the kings of his race with her good advice , and to her he betook himself . In the middle of the forest was a wide open space surrounded by great cedar trees , and this was supposed to be the fairy 's favourite spot . When the king reached this place he dismounted , tied his horse to the tree , and standing in the middle of the open place said : ` If it is true that you have helped my ancestors in their time of need , do not despise their descendant , but give me counsel , for that of men has failed me . ' He had hardly finished speaking when one of the cedar trees opened , and a veiled figure all dressed in white stepped from it . ' I know your errand , King Sached , ' she said ; ` it is an honest one , and I will give you my help . Take these two little boxes and let the two men who claim to be your son choose between them . I know that the real prince will make no mistake . ' She then handed him two little boxes made of ivory set with gold and pearls . On the lid of each -LRB- which the king vainly tried to open -RRB- was an inscription in diamonds . On one stood the words ` Honour and Glory , ' and on the other ` Wealth and Happiness . ' ` It would be a hard choice , ' thought the king as he rode home . He lost no time in sending for the queen and for all his court , and when all were assembled he made a sign , and Labakan was led in . With a proud air he walked up to the throne , and kneeling down , asked : ` What does my lord and father command ? ' The king replied : ` My son , doubts have been thrown on your claim to that name . One of these boxes contains the proofs of your birth . Choose for yourself . No doubt you will choose right . ' He then pointed to the ivory boxes , which were placed on two little tables near the throne . Labakan rose and looked at the boxes .
He thought for some minutes , and then said : ` My honoured father , what can be better than the happiness XXXXX being your son , and what nobler than the riches of your love .
