The Princess, who was sitting on the roof, taking the air, bade her servant ask what sort of wood it was to make it so expensive. 'It is only firewood, answered the disguised Carpenter, but it was cut with this sharp bright sword! Hearing these words, the Princess, with a beating heart, peered through the parapet, and recognised Prince Lionheart's sword.
And as he spun his wheel, the burns and scars disappeared likewise from Prince Lionheart's body, until at last the Prince sat up alive, as handsome as before. 'Where is my Princess? he cried, the very first thing, and then told his friends of all that had passed. 'It is my turn now! quoth the Carpenter king gleefully; 'give me your sword, and I will fetch the Princess back in no time.
This order they obeyed, for Prince Lionheart's fame had been noised abroad, and they feared his displeasure; so when the marriage was over, and the Carpenter duly established as king, Prince Lionheart went forth on his journey alone, after giving a barley plant, as he had done before, by which his prosperity or misfortune might be known.
