 ASHIEPATTLE WHO MADE THE PRINCESS TELL THE TRUTH AT LAST. There was once upon a time a king, who had a daughter, and she was such an awful story-teller, that you couldn't find a greater anywhere. So the king made known, that if any one could outdo her in telling stories and make her tell the truth, he should have her for a wife and half the kingdom in the bargain. There were many who tried, for everybody would be glad to get the princess and half the kingdom, bi:t they all fared badly.
