Twelve Dancing Princesses (2) [Dancing Princesses]
Twelve Dancing Princesses (2)
The king was so puzzled, and so vexed, because he couldn't find out WHY it was happening that he issued a proclamation.
It said,
WHOMSOEVER SHALL DISCOVER WHY THE PRINCESS'S SHOES ARE FULL OF HOLES EVERY MORNING SHALL HAVE ONE OF THE PRINCESS FOR HIS WIFE AND SHALL INHERIT KINGDOM WHEN I DIE.
Princes came from far and wide to try find an answer to the mystery.
Not one of them succeeded.
The puzzled King was beginning to despair of ever finding an answer when a poor soldier came to the palace.
The proclamation had said nothing about being a prince if you wanted to solve the mystery, so he had decided to make an sttempt at it himself.
The king received the soldier as kindly, and as grandly, as any of the Prince, and that night he was taken to a room adjoining the princesses' bedroom so that he could keep watch.
