    that can bring me a pure white bird will have me in marriage"
    Joe went back to his cows and saw herding them a beautiful young man.
    Joe asked him who he was. He told him he was brother to the Lady of the Golden Palace.
    Then Joe told him what he was in search of. Then the farmer told him to go back to the same place the next day. Joe went to the crossroads and there he found the white bird. He brought it with him to the lady's palace.
    Next day the pair got married and had a splendid marriage.
