Once upon a time there was a king who had a daughter so sharp-tongued and contrary that no one could silence her. So he proclaimed that whoever could do so should have the princess for his wife, and half the kingdom besides. Three brothers who had heard of this decided to try their luck. The two eldest went first, for they thought themselves the cleverest; but they got nowhere with her, and were punished into the bargain. Then Askepot set off. When he had gone a little way, he found a willow hoop;

this he picked up. When he had gone a little farther, he found a piece of a broken bowl, and picked that up too. A little farther on he found a dead magpie, and not far from it a crooked goat’s horn. Soon afterwards he found another to match it, and just as he was crossing the fields by the royal palace, where manure had been spread, he found a worn-out shoe sole. He took all these things with him to the palace, and was shown in to the princess. “Good day,” he said. “Good day,” she said, squirming in her seat. “May I have my magpie roasted?” he asked. “I’m afraid it will burst,” answered the princess.

“Oh, there’s no fear of that. I’ll fasten this willow hoop round it,” said the lad, bringing it out. “The fat will run off it!” said the princess. “I’ll hold this underneath,” said the lad, showing her the piece of broken bowl. “What a crooked way you have with words,” said the princess. “No, I’m not crooked; but this is,” he said, taking out one of the horns. “Well, I’ve never seen its match!” cried the princess. “Here’s its match,” said the lad, bringing out the other goat’s horn. “So you’ve set out to silence me, have you?” said the princess.

“No, I’m not out, but this is worn out,” answered the lad, bringing out the shoe sole. To this the princess could think of nothing to say. “Now you’re mine,” said the lad, and so he won the princess and half the land and kingdom.

Izvirnik

Der var engang en Konge; han havde en Datter, som var saa slem og vrang i Ord, at Ingen kunde maalbinde hende. Han satte da ud, at den, der kunde gjøre dette, skulde faae Prindsessen til Ægte og det halve Kongerige til. Tre Brødre, som havde hørt dette, besluttede at prøve sin Lykke; først gikk de to ældste, som troede de vare klogest; men de kom ingen Vei med hende, og bleve straffede til. Saa gik da Askepot afsted. Da han var kommen et Stykke paa Veien fandt han en Vidiespænding; den tog han op. Da han hadde gaaet et Stykke til, fandt han et Skaalsbraat; det tog han ogsaa op. Da han var kommen lidt længere, fandt han en død Skjære, og lidt derfra et kroget Bukkehorn; om Lidt igjen fandt han Mage til det, og

just som han gik over Markerne ved Kongsgaarden, hvor der var bredt ud Gjødsel, fandt han en udgaaet Skosaale. Alle disse Ting tog han med sig til Kongsgaarden, og saa kom han ind for Prindsessen. „God Dag,“ sagde han. „God Dag,“ sagde hun og vred paa sig. „Faaer jeg stegt Skjæren min?“ spurgte han. „Jeg er bange, den sprækker,“ svarede Prindsessen. „Aa, det har ingen Nød, jeg slaaer om den en Vidiespænding,“ sagde Gutten og tog frem denne. „Fedtet rinder af den!“ sagde Prindsessen. „Jeg holder under dette,“ sagde Gutten og viste frem Skaalsbraattet. „Du er saa kroget i Ord, du,“ sagde Prindsessen. „Nei jeg er ikke kroget; men dette er kroget, det,“ sagde han, og tog op det ene Horn. „Nei nu har jeg aldrig seet Magen!“ raabte Prindsessen. „Her seer du Magen,“ sagde

Gutten og tog frem det andet Bukkehorn. „Jeg mener, du er udgaaet for at maalbinde mig du, jeg?“ sagde Prindsessen. „Nei, jeg er ikke udgaaet, men denne er udgaaet,“ svarede Gutten, og tog Skosaalen frem. Hertil vidste Prindsessen ikke Noget at svare. „Nu er du min,“ sagde Gutten, og saa fik han Prindsessen og det halve Land og Rige.
