This plan worked, well and the
fairies gave him two ears of corn

daughter and they loved her very
dearly. and she was very happy.
On this island lived a witch and
an Orge, who lived together, and
their powers were very wonderful.
They had stolen all of the maids of
the island but they could not get
the Princess.
One day when the Princess was
playing in the courtyard. the witch,
who was looking around there,
CHANGED to see the princess, and by
means of an invisible rod. made
the princess fall. Then she ran
In and picked her up and held her
so tight that she could not see
where she was going or who she
was with only that she was going.
When they came to the cave, the
Orge snatched her up and said.

ther try to hide you? mo, we've
got you now" with that he
snatched up his great club and beat
and beat her.
Poor princess was made to work
