Make him give you , besides , the queenly robes of gold and precious stones which are like the flowery meadows , and bring them both to me . And bring me also the golden cushion . ' -LRB- 6 -RRB- Ein Mohr . The old man went and did his errand . When he had brought the precious robes , the Crab put on the golden garment and then crept upon the golden cushion , and in this way the fisherman carried him to the castle , where the Crab presented the other garment to his bride . Now the ceremony took place , and when the married pair were alone together the Crab made himself known to his young wife , and told her how he was the son of the greatest king in the world , and how he was enchanted , so that he became a crab by day and was a man only at night ; and he could also change himself into an eagle as often as he wished . No sooner had he said this than he shook himself , and immediately became a handsome youth , but the next morning he was forced to creep back again into his crab-shell . And the same thing happened every day . But the Princess 's affection for the Crab , and the polite attention with which she behaved to him , surprised the royal family very much . They suspected some secret , but though they spied and spied , they could not discover it . Thus a year passed away , and the Princess had a son , whom she called Benjamin . But her mother still thought the whole matter very strange . At last she said to the King that he ought to ask his daughter whether she would not like to have another husband instead of the Crab ? But when the daughter was questioned she only answered : ' I am married to the Crab , and him only will I have . ' Then the King said to her , ' I will appoint a tournament in your honour , and I will invite all the princes in the world to it , and if any one of them pleases you , you shall marry him . ' In the evening the Princess told this to the Crab , who said to her , ` Take this rod , go to the garden gate and knock with it , then a black man will come out and say to you , '' Why have you called me , and what do you require of me ? '' Answer him thus : ` Your master the King has sent me hither to tell you to send him his golden armour and his steed and the silver apple . '' And bring them to me . ' The Princess did so , and brought him what he desired . The following evening the Prince dressed himself for the tournament .
Before he went he XXXXX to his wife , ` Now mind you do not say when you see me that I am the Crab .
