There was once on a time a Queen to whom God had given no children...
The cook, however, thought to himself, 'If the child has the power of wishing, and I am here, he might very easily get me into trouble.'...
The King's son remained there a short while longer, and he thought of his mother, and wondered if she were still alive...
Now the King felt great joy at this, and commanded that his entire household should eat with him next day, and made a great feast...
And the King sent two waiting-maids and two attendants into the tower, to fetch the Queen and bring her to the royal table...
The aged King ordered the cook to be torn in four pieces, but grief consumed the King's own heart, and he soon died...
