Many young men sought to discover her , but all perished in the attempt . After many had met their death thus , there came a young man , beautiful to behold , and as clever as he was beautiful , who had a great desire to attempt the enterprise . First he went to a herdsman , and begged him to hide him in a sheepskin , which had a golden fleece , and in this disguise to take him to the king . The shepherd let himself be persuaded so to do , took a skin having a golden fleece , sewed the young man in it , putting in also food and drink , and so brought him before the king . When the latter saw the golden lamb , he asked the herd : ` Will you sell me this lamb ? ' But the herd answered : ` No , oh king ; I will not sell it ; but if you find pleasure therein , I will be willing to oblige you , and I will lend it to you , free of charge , for three days , after that you must give it back to me . ' This the king agreed to do , and he arose and took the lamb to his daughter . When he had led it into her palace , and through many rooms , he came to a shut door . Then he called ` Open , Sartara Martara of the earth ! ' and the door opened of itself . After that they went through many more rooms , and came to another closed door . Again the king called out : ` Open , Sartara Martara of the earth ! ' and this door opened like the other , and they came into the apartment where the princess dwelt , the floor , walls , and roof of which were all of silver . When the king had embraced the princess , he gave her the lamb , to her great joy . She stroked it , caressed it , and played with it . After a while the lamb got loose , which , when the princess saw , she said : ` See , father , the lamb is free . ' But the king answered : ` It is only a lamb , why should it not be free ? ' Then he left the lamb with the princess , and went his way . In the night , however , the young man threw off the skin . When the princess saw how beautiful he was , she fell in love with him , and asked him : ` Why did you come here disguised in a sheepskin like that ? '
Then he answered : ` When I saw how many people sought you , and could not find you , and lost their lives in so doing , I invented this trick , and so I am come safely XXXXX you . '
