"ah," cried he, "how can i have acted so unfaithfully; but the kiss which in the joy of my heart i gave my parents, on the right cheek, that is to blame for it all, that is what stupefied me!" he sprang up, took the king’s daughter by the hand, and led her to his parents’ bed. "this is my true bride," said he; "if i marry the other, i shall do a great wrong." the parents, when they heard how everything had happened, gave their consent. then the lights in the hall were lighted again, drums and trumpets were brought, friends and relations were invited to come, and the real wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing. the first bride received the beautiful dresses as a compensation, and declared herself satisfied.
