When they awoke the next morning the rounded chamber of the canyon was flooded with light. When the hundred years had passed away, the son of the King at that time upon the throne, and who was of a different family to that of the sleeping Princess, having been hunting in the neighbourhood, inquired what towers they were that he saw above the trees of a very thick wood.

He and his wife were very poor, and their seven children were a great burden to them, as not one of them was yet able to earn his livelihood.
