The Goose Girl A big shout out to Abby for requesting today's story.

Once upon a time, there lived an old queen whose husband had been dead for many years.

She had a beautiful daughter, a princess.

When the princess grew up,

she was promised in marriage to a prince who lived far away.

When the time came for her to be married and leave for his distant kingdom,

the old queen packed up many expensive gifts for her daughter.

vessels and utensils of gold and silver,

jewelry, cups and other treasures fit for a royal dowry,

for she loved her daughter deeply.

She also assigned a chambermaid to travel with the princess and deliver her safely into the prince's hands.

Each of them received a horse for the journey.

The princess's horse was named Falada, and he could speak.

When the moment of departure came,

the old queen went into her chamber,

pricked her finger with a knife until it bled,

then handed the cloth to her daughter,

saying, Take good care of these,

for they will be of service to you on your way. May.

With tears they said goodbye to each other.

The princess tucked the cloth into her bosom,

mounted her horse, and began her journey to her bridegroom.

After riding for a while, she became terribly thirsty.

She asked her chambermaid to fetch her some water from a nearby brook.

Dismount, and take my cup which you have brought with you for me,

and get me some water from the brook,

for I would like a drink.

If you are thirsty, get off your horse yourself,

and lie down near the water and drink.

I won't be your servant.

The princess was humble and said nothing.

She dismounted, bent over the brook, and drank.

Oh Lord!

If this your mother knew,

her heart would break in two.

Later, when the day grew hotter and she became thirsty again,

they came to another stream.

Once more, she asked her chambermaid to bring her some water.

Dismount, and take my cup which you have brought with you for me,

and get me some water from the stream,

for I would like a drink.

If you want a drink, get it yourself.

I won't be your servant.

The princess got down to drink, leaning over the street.

And as she did, the claw with the three drops of blood slipped from her bosom and floated away without her noticing.

The chambermaid saw what happened and rejoiced,

for now the princess had lost her mother's protection and had become powerless.

I belong on Falada.

You belong on my nag.

With harsh words, the chambermaid ordered the princess to take off her royal clothes and put on her maid's shabby garments.

Take off your royal gown and give it to me now.

Swear before heaven you will tell no one at the royal court, or you die.

I swear, I will tell no one.

Falada saw everything and remembered it well.

Then the false bride, the chambermaid,

mounted for Lada, while the true princess had to ride the maid's poor horse.

They continued their journey until they finally reached the royal palace.

There was great celebration upon their arrival.

The prince hurried to meet them,

lifted the false bride from her horse,

and took her upstairs, thinking she was his promised bride.

The true princess was left standing below in the courtyard.

The old king looked out of his window,

saw the girl waiting there,

and noticed how fine and beautiful she was.

Curious, he went to the bride's chamber and asked who the girl was.

Forgive my curiosity, princess, but who is the fair maiden that you rode in with?

I picked her up on my way for a companion.

Give the girl some work to do so she won't stand idly by.

I have a little boy who tends the geese.

She can help him.

The false bride feared that Falada might reveal her secret,

so she demanded that the talking horse be killed.

Dearest husband, I beg you to do me a favor.

I will do so gladly.

Then sent for the knacker,

and have the head of the horse which I rod here cut off,

for it angered me on the way.

Most certainly.

And so it happened that Falada had to die.

The true princess heard about this,

and secretly promised the knacker a piece of gold if he would do her a small favor.

There was a large dark gateway in town,

through which she had to pass every morning and evening while driving the geese.

She asked the Naka's helper to nail Falada's head beneath the gateway so she could see him each day.

The man agreed, cut off Valada's head and nailed it firmly beneath the archway.

The next morning when she and Conrad the goose boy drove the flock beneath the gate,

she said sadly...

Alas, Valada, hanging there!

Alas, young queen passing by!

If this your mother knew,

her heart would break in two.

Then they went out to the meadow with their geese.

When they sat down, the princess unbound her golden hair.

Conrad was amazed by how it shone and wanted to pluck a few strands.

Blow, wind, blow!

Take Conrad's hat and make him chase it.

Until I have braided my hair.

And tied it up again.

100

Suddenly, a strong wind blew,

101

snatching his hat away so that he had to chase it.

102

When he came back, she had already finished braiding her hair,

103

and he couldn't get a single strand.

104

Angry, he refused to speak to her for the rest of the day.

105

That evening they returned home.

106

The next morning they again passed beneath the dark gateway.

107

Alas, Falada, hanging there.

108

Alas, young queen passing by,

109

if this your mother knew,

110

her heart would break in two.

111

In the meadow she sat down once more and began to comb her hair.

112

Conrad tried again to grab some.

113

Blow, wind, blow.

114

Take Conrad's hat and make him chase it.

115

Until I have braided my hair and tied it up again.

116

The wind immediately blew off his hat,

117

and Conrad had to run after it.

118

By the time he returned, she had finished.

119

That evening, Conrad went up to the old king.

120

I won't tend geese with that girl any longer.

121

Tell me, boy, what does she do to anger you so?

122

He narrated everything that had happened, including Falada's talking head.

123

See?

124

That is why I cannot bear her.

125

The old king told him to take out the flock again the next day.

126

Early the next morning, the king hid behind the gateway and saw the girl speak to Falada's head.

127

Then he followed her out to the field and hid in a thicket,

128

watching her as she sat down and combed her shining hair.

129

When she said the rhyme,

130

the wind blew Conrad's hat away just as before.

131

The king saw and heard everything, then quietly returned home.

132

That evening when the girl came back,

133

he called her aside and gently questioned her.

134

Why do you do these things?

135

I am not allowed to tell you,

136

nor reveal my sorrows to any human being,

137

for I have sworn under the open heaven.

138

He pressed her again and again, but she remained silent.

139

Come with me.

140

If you will not tell me anything,

141

then tell your sorrows to the iron stove there.

142

Here I sit, abandoned by the whole world,

143

although I am the daughter of a king.

144

A chambermaid forced me to take off my royal clothes,

145

and she has taken my place with my bridegroom.

146

Now I have to do common work as a goose girl.

147

If my mother knew this,

148

her heart would break in two.

149

The old king was listening outside the stovepipe and heard every word.

150

You may come out now.

151

Then he had her dressed in royal clothes,

152

and she looked breathtakingly beautiful.

153

The king summoned his son and revealed the truth.

154

My son, the bride you thought was yours is but a false chambermaid.

155

Behold, here stands your true bride,

156

the one who has been tending geese.

157

At last, my true bride.

158

A grand feast was held,

159

and all the court and their friends were invited.

160

The prince sat at the head of the table,

161

with the true princess on one side and the false bride on the other.

162

The chambermaid didn't recognize the princess in her royal attire.

163

After they had eaten and drunk,

164

the old king posed a riddle to the false bride.

165

He described the whole story as if it were about someone else.

166

Tell me, daughter-in-law, what punishment does one deserve who deceives her master in this manner?

167

Arrogantly, the chambermaid answered, She deserves no better fate than to be stripped naked,

168

placed in a barrel studdened with sharp nails,

169

and dragged by two white horses until she is dead.

170

You are the one, and you have pronounced your own sentence.

171

so shall it be done to you.

172

No, please, I beg you!

173

After her punishment was carried out,

174

the young king married his true bride,

175

and together they ruled their kingdom in peace and happiness.
