Rashen Coatie (4)

Rashen Coatie (4)

" Ask the king for a dress, with the colors of all the fish of the sea, " said the calf.

But again the king produced just such a dress, and still he wanted to marry Rashen Coatie.

Finally the girl could find no more excuses, and the wedding day arrived.

When she got to church, Rashen Coatie tried one last objection.
" I must have the ring my mother wore when she was married, " she said.

Then she put on her dress of rushes, and ran away from her father's kingdom.

After long wandering, Rashen Coatie came to a prince's hunting lodge and collapsed in a deep sleep on the prince's bed.

Later, the prince himself arrived and found Rashen Coatie on his bed.

He asked her what she was doing there. 

" I am far from home, tired and lost. Is there somewhere I maight find work ? "

So the prince took Rashen Coatie home and put her to work in the palace kitchen.
