- (continued from previous page)father said to his daughter, "we ought to go into this palace to rest ourselves." The two of them went into the palace and they were walking about in it. For a long time they saw no one and they were wondering who owned it. At last they saw the prince with the cow's head and the were afraid of him but he spoke to them kindly. He also got a meal for them and then he asked the girl to marry him She did not like to marry him on account of his head. At last she said she would because she was afraid of him. Then she said she would and the prince flew up in the air. When he came down he had his own head and he was a a beautiful young prince and then the girl married him.
