The two set out for the princes palace again and asked what was the matter and they told him. So he gave her two grapes, and told her he would call again soon. So he did but the nose was a wee bit better and he said to her that she had stolen goods about her and that she must give them to the owners and her nose would be the same again. So the prince did and her nose was as good as ever and so at long last they got their magic gifts again and were as rich as ever.
