Once upon a tme there was a great king of a land far away in the East. He had a very beutiful daughter who was so proud, naughty, and conceited. She liked to make fun of any prince who asked her to be his wife.
One day the old king held a great feast and invited all his daughter's suitors. They all sat in a row, according to their ranking and princes and dukes and earls and count and barons and knights. When the princess came in, she said something spiteful to each one as she passed them by. To a king who was there she said, " Look at him. His bread is like an old mop, He shall be called grisly-beard. "
The old king was very angry to this daughter, for she behaved very badly, towards his guest. He vowed that willing or unwilling, she would marry the first man that came to his door.
Two days later, a travelling fiddler came by the castle. He began to play under the window and begged for money, The king asked him to come in and sing. After singing, the fiddler begged for a gift. The king said, " You have sung so well that I will give you my daughter to take as your wife. " The pincess refused but the old king said, " I have sworn to give you to the first man who came to the door, and I will keep my word. "

Thus, the fiddler left the castle, and took the princess with him as his wife. The lived poorly in a small cottage. The fiddler pushed his wife to do household work but she knew nothing about it. Then, he set her up in a trade in pots and pans. Again, it was all in vain. Finally, the fiddler found a job as a kitchen maid for his wife in a king's palace. She helped the cook to do all the dirties work. She was allowed to carry home some of the meat that was left over, and they lived on that.
One day, as she was leaving the court of home, the king's son in his golden clothes come in. Seeing such a beutiful woman at the door, he took her by the hand and said that she should be his partner as the dance. She was suprised and trembled with fear because she saw that it was King Grisley-beard, who was making fun her. She tired to run away but King Grisley-beard overtook her, brought her back and said, " Fear me not! I am the fiddler who has lived with you in the hut. I brought you there because I truly loved you. I have done all this only to cure you of your silly pride and to show you the folly of your ill treatment if me. Now, it's all over! You have learnt wisdom and it's time to hold marriage feast. "
