When she had done that she went away to the pig-sty , but all the way as she went she wept , and was very sorrowful . Then she put on the wooden gown , and walked to the King 's palace . When she got there she went into the kitchen and begged for a place , saying that her name was Kari Woodengown . The cook told her that she might have a place and leave to stay there at once and wash up , for the girl who had done that before had just gone away . ` And as soon as you get tired of being here you will take yourself off too , ' said he . ` No , ' said she , ` that I shall certainly not . ' And then she washed up , and did it very tidily . On Sunday some strangers were coming to the King 's palace , so Kari begged to have leave to carry up the water for the Prince 's bath , but the others laughed at her and said , ` What do you want there ? Do you think the Prince will ever look at such a fright as you ? ' She would not give it up , however , but went on begging until at last she got leave . When she was going upstairs her wooden gown made such a clatter that the Prince came out and said , ` What sort of a creature may you be ? ' ' I was to take this water to you , ' said Kari . ` Do you suppose that I will have any water that you bring ? ' said the Prince , and emptied it over her . She had to bear that , but then she asked permission to go to church . She got that , for the church was very near . But first she went to the rock and knocked at it with the stick which was standing there , as the Bull had told her to do . Instantly a man came forth and asked what she wanted . The King 's daughter said that she had got leave to go to church and listen to the priest , but that she had no clothes to go in . So he brought her a gown that was as bright as the copper wood , and she got a horse and saddle too from him .
When she reached the church she was so pretty and so splendidly dressed that every one wondered who she could be , and hardly anyone listened to what the priest was saying , for they were all looking far too much at her , and the Prince himself liked her so well XXXXX he could not take his eyes off her for an instant .
