were six knights. There was one
knight in front of the throne who was
to be king.
Ellen had grown up all of sudden.
The twelve knights made them king
and queen. As they look their seats
on the throne the knights said they
would be queen and king forever and
that they would never die.

was the same size as the fairy, who
then led her through the fire until she
came to a palace.

She was taken into a room where all
the people were waiting for supper.

woman said, "Come, we must not lose
time"
They walked in with the rest of the

Gazing around and talking with some
of the people she had met when she
heard some beautiful music. She was
looking about to see where it was
coming from when she saw a lady
dressed in beautiful robe.
Ellen felt light touch on her
shoulder, and turning around saw the
old lady. They flew homeward and
finally reached the cold garret in which
Ellen slept and having bid the old
woman goodby she went to sleep only
to wake up to her old tasks again.
