    palace.
    A tramp came and took the princess. Then she said, "I am sorry I did not marry the whiskered king."
    The tramp brought her to his cabin and told her to get ready his dinner. When she had the dinner cooked she sold delph in a nearby market. The princess did not get on so well with her wares.
    Her husband got her a job in a palace. The king of this was going to get married. All the maids went to the parlour to peep in at the king. When they came to the door the king came out. It was "Whiskers". He brought the princess into the parlour and danced with her.
    The king told her it was he who was the tramp, and her father gave the princess to him.
