The boy walked and walked north for miles, and came at last to a city where a tall watchman at the gate asked him who he was and what his trade.
" I have no trade, " the boy admitted, for a prince has none.
" But I have good fortune in all I do. "
" Then child of fortune, " said the watchman, " perhaps you can help us with ours, for it is all bad. Our market fountain, which once flowed with both water and wine, has dried up.
Now not even water comes out. "
" I will have an answer for you when I have been to get the there golden hairs from the Devil, the boy said.
Off he went again to the north and came to another town, where a short gatekeeper asked him who he was and what his trade.
" I have no trade, " the boy admitted.
" But I have good fortune I all I do. "
" Then child of fortune, " said the gatekeeper, " perhaps you can help us with ours, for it is all bad. Tell us ehy the tree in our town square, which once bore golden apples, now doesn't even have leaves. "
" I will have an answer for you when I have been to get the three golden hairs from the Devil, " the boy told him.
