Now the wicked fairy had a magic
wand. Should the bewitched person
be touched with it he or she would
turn into their own shape again. So
the prince decided to get the wand.
First he had to find the witches cave.
While he was standing there he spied
a good fairy standing near him.
What is the trouble, q Prince?"
asked the fairy. Prince George ex-
planned his troubles and the fairy said:
go forth until you come 20 a little
green cottage, then go into the hills.
L cannot tell you where the cave is, so
go and find it,
Handing him a small paper contain
ing a magic powder she said: Throw
this on the witch and it will put her in
trance" and so saying she disap-
peared. The prince went to hunt for
the witch.
After several days search he found
her standing over a fire cooking her
supper. Stealing up behind her, he
threw the powder over her and she fell
on the ground in trance. Immediate
ly the prince reached for the wand
and hurried back to the owl. Touching
her with the wand she became the
beautiful princess again.
The prince was overjoyed at seeing
her and took her to his kingdom, where
he married her, amid great rejoicings
and they lived happily ever afterward.

The prince did not know what to do
and, although he tried in many ways to
free his princess, he could not.
After a while he sat down in despair
to think of something to do. Then he
thought of calling his godmother. He
did so and she came to him quickly.
Prince George told her of all that had
happened and of his efforts in trying
to free his princess.
His godmother was very angry and,
waving her wand, she quickly changed
the little brown owl back into the prin-
cess and placed her on the ground,
after which she changed the wicked
fairy into an owl and put her in the
tree of glass.
The prince was very happy and
thanked his godmother very much.
He led his princess through the forest
to his beautiful castle, where they
were married and lived happy ever
afterward. x The wicked fairy never
troubled anyone again and the whole
land was filled with joy.

The wicked fairy. as you know, flew
around and croaked;
"Ho, no, no! Say, do you know
How from a tree of glass a prince
can free a lass?" .
The prince looked around-north,
south, east and west-but he could see
nobody.
> So he called his fairy godmother. She
came and he told her of his plight. She
then told him to stay inside the circle
she was drawing. He said he would.
So the fairy flew off, and soon came
back. Then the fairy godmother blew
a whistle and there came six fairies.
One of the fairies who had wand blew
three times on a whistle, and the wick
ed fairy flew to the fairy with the wand
and asked what she wanted. The fairy
said: you have no right to punish a
prince who has done you no harm"
Then the fairy took her and put her
in the little cottage. The wicked fairy
tore her hair, in her wrath, and the
princess that was in the tree got down.
Prince George married her and they
lived happily till the end of theirAives.

eyes, yes, I'll tell you how
From a tree of glass
A prince can free a lass!"
sang a sweet voice.
"How? How?" said the prince, who
had recognized the voice of his god
mother.
ITO the silver mountain go
And murmur low
TO me give a silver thread
And a golden loaf of bread.
Then eat the bread
And bring the thread
To lay at the princess feet"
So the prince went and with many
hardships he reached the silver noun
tain. When he reached the mountain
he sang:
30 give me a silver thread
And a golden loaf of bread"
He brought them back to the princess
and then she was free
They reigned over a large estate
and were very kind to everyone.
