The Truthful Shepherd (4)

The Truthful Shepherd (4)

The king of Prussia astonished and angry and ー if truth be told, as ever it should ー a bit worried as well.

He went back to his lodgings, and there his beautiful daughter, Helga, consoled him.

" Do not worry so, papa, " she said, " for I am certain that what money could not buy, love can. Love can trick even the most constant of young men. "

So when evening came, off she went with a trunk full of gold and a flask of golden wine.

" Shepherd, " she said, smiling prettily at him, " will you give me the golden fleece ? "
She tousled his hair and winked.

She gave him a kiss on both cheeks and on his brow.

He kissed her back, full on the lips.
