You see , Charming , I could not leave my kingdom without taking some of it with me . '' `` Princess , '' said he , `` you at least can never need this water , but I am an unhappy ambassador , whose death you desire . Where you send me I will go , though I know I shall never return . '' And , as the Princess Goldilocks showed no sign of relenting , he started with his little dog for the Gloomy Cavern . Everyone he met on the way said : `` What a pity that a handsome young man should throw away his life so carelessly ! He is going to the cavern alone , though if he had a hundred men with him he could not succeed . Why does the Princess ask impossibilities ? '' Charming said nothing , but he was very sad . When he was near the top of a hill he dismounted to let his horse graze , while Frisk amused himself by chasing flies . Charming knew he could not be far from the Gloomy Cavern , and on looking about him he saw a black hideous rock from which came a thick smoke , followed in a moment by one of the dragons with fire blazing from his mouth and eyes . His body was yellow and green , and his claws scarlet , and his tail was so long that it lay in a hundred coils . Frisk was so terrified at the sight of it that he did not know where to hide . Charming , quite determined to get the water or die , now drew his sword , and , taking the crystal flask which Pretty Goldilocks had given him to fill , said to Frisk : `` I feel sure that I shall never come back from this expedition ; when I am dead , go to the Princess and tell her that her errand has cost me my life . Then find the King my master , and relate all my adventures to him . '' As he spoke he heard a voice calling : `` Charming , Charming ! '' `` Who calls me ? '' said he ; then he saw an owl sitting in a hollow tree , who said to him : `` You saved my life when I was caught in the net , now I can repay you . Trust me with the flask , for I know all the ways of the Gloomy Cavern , and can fill it from the Fountain of Beauty . '' Charming was only too glad to give her the flask , and she flitted into the cavern quite unnoticed by the dragon , and after some time returned with the flask , filled to the very brim with sparkling water . Charming thanked her with all his heart , and joyfully hastened back to the town .
He went straight XXXXX the palace and gave the flask to the Princess , who had no further objection to make .
