At last he took the king 's crown , and put it on the top . He carried his burden to the ship and stowed his treasures away , and the youth followed , leading the king 's daughter . But the king was left raging in his empty palace , and he called together his army , and got ready his ships of war , in order that he might go after the vessel and bring back what had been taken away . And the king 's ships sailed very fast , and soon caught up the little vessel , and the sailors all shouted for joy . Then the hermit looked out and saw how near they were , and he said to the youth , ` Do you see that ? ' The youth shrieked and cried , ` Ah , good father , it is a fleet of ships , and they are chasing us , and in a few moments they will be upon us . ' But the hermit bade him call the man who had the fog in his sack , and the sack was opened and the fog flew out , and hung right round the king 's ships , so that they could see nothing . So they sailed back to the palace , and told the king what strange things had happened . Meanwhile the young man 's vessel reached home in safety . ` Well , here you are once more ' said the hermit ; ` and now you can fulfil the promise you made me to give me the half of all you had . ' ` That will I do with all my heart , ' answered the youth , and began to divide all his treasures , putting part on one side for himself and setting aside the other for his friend . ` Good father , it is finished , ' said he at length ; ` there is nothing more left to divide . ' ` Nothing more left ! ' cried the hermit . ` Why , you have forgotten the best thing of all ! ' ` What can that be ? ' asked he . ` We have divided everything . ' ` And the king 's daughter ? ' said the hermit .
Then the young man 's heart stood still , XXXXX he loved her dearly .
