The Enchanted Pig · page 31 2 3201Next morning they set out early to return to his father’s kingdom.202Great was the rejoicing of all the people when they saw him and his wife; his father and his mother embraced them both, and there was feasting in the palace for three days and three nights.203Then they set out to see her father.204The old King nearly went out of his mind with joy at beholding his daughter again.205When she had told him all her adventures, he said to her:206‘Did not I tell you that I was quite sure that that creature who wooed and won you as his wife had not been born a Pig?207You see, my child, how wise you were in doing what I told you.’208And as the King was old and had no heirs, he put them on the throne in his place.209And they ruled as only kings rule who have suffered many things.210And if they are not dead they are still living and ruling happily.211[8]212[8] Rumänische Märchen übersetzt von Nite Kremnitz.1 2 3← previousPrincess Rosettenext →The Norka↑ back to The Red Fairy BookThis page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg540/12/page/3/
