    As the five were trudging along they arrived at a city, where reigned a king who had an only daughter no one could make her laugh. The king proclaimed to all the world, that whoever could make her laugh would have her for his wife. When the young boy heard this, he went to her with his goose and the four people after him; As soon as she saw this five all hanging together trending on each others she could nots help laughing. Then Stephen claimed her for his wife.
