    advice, no step-mother would have enchanted you," said the king.
    "If I'm bad," said the prince, "she is worse, as she and the old henwoman have been enchanted to the top of your tower never to be released until I come back." So away went the prince and when he came to his destination, to the king's gate where his intended wife was, he pulled out his horn and blew it three times. Then he got married to the king's daughter. After years and years he came back to his father's palace but there was no palace to be seen, and his father was dead.
