When he saw that she came empty-handed he got up and left her , grumbling to himself . The next day they searched again , but with no better success . ` Alas ! ' said the Princess , ` if only I could find something for you to eat , I should not mind being hungry myself . ' ` No , I should not mind that either , ' answered Fanfaronade . ` Is it possible , ' said she , ` that you would not care if I died of hunger ? Oh , Fanfaronade , you said you loved me ! ' ` That was when we were in quite another place and I was not hungry , ' said he . ` It makes a great difference in one 's ideas to be dying of hunger and thirst on a desert island . ' At this the Princess was dreadfully vexed , and she sat down under a white rose bush and began to cry bitterly . ` Happy roses , ' she thought to herself , ` they have only to blossom in the sunshine and be admired , and there is nobody to be unkind to them . ' And the tears ran down her cheeks and splashed on to the rose-tree roots . Presently she was surprised to see the whole bush rustling and shaking , and a soft little voice from the prettiest rosebud said : ` Poor Princess ! look in the trunk of that tree , and you will find a honeycomb , but do n't be foolish enough to share it with Fanfaronade . ' Mayblossom ran to the tree , and sure enough there was the honey . Without losing a moment she ran with it to Fanfaronade , crying gaily : ` See , here is a honeycomb that I have found . I might have eaten it up all by myself , but I had rather share it with you . ' But without looking at her or thanking her he snatched the honey comb out of her hands and ate it all up -- every bit , without offering her a morsel . Indeed , when she humbly asked for some he said mockingly that it was too sweet for her , and would spoil her teeth . Mayblossom , more downcast than ever , went sadly away and sat down under an oak tree , and her tears and sighs were so piteous that the oak fanned her with his rustling leaves , and said : ` Take courage , pretty Princess , all is not lost yet .
Take this pitcher XXXXX milk and drink it up , and whatever you do , do n't leave a drop for Fanfaronade . '
