The Truthful Shepherd (5) [The Truthful Shepherd]

The Truthful Shepherd (5)

" I cannot give the golden fleece to you for money, " he said," for a man with no head has nowhere to spend. But if you will marry me, I will get you the sheep. "

For he thought, if I am married to a princess of Prussia, the king of Matyas surely cannot cut off my head.

" I will marry you this moment, " she told him.
" Only skin the sheep and eat the meat. I want only the fleece. "

So he did as she asked, and the minute he gave her the fleece, she ran off home.

" And when will we married ? " the shepherd called after her.

" When the sun and moon dance together in the sky ! " she cried over her shoulder ー and then she was gone.

For a moment the shepherd was distraught.
What could he tell his king ?

He knew he had to report that the golden sheep was missing.
But how to tell him the truth ?

Then he thought, A trickster can be tricked in turn.
He had a daring plan.
