[email protected] clever Maria there was once a merchant who lived close to the royal palace and had
13:53
three daughters they were all pretty but Maria the youngest was the prettiest of the three one day the king sent for the
14:01
merchant who was a widowerower to give him directions about a journey he wished the good man to take the merchant would
14:07
rather not have gone as he did not like leaving his daughters at home but he could not refuse to obey the king's
14:13
commands and with a heavy heart he returned home to say farewell to them before he left he took three pots
14:22
of basil and gave one to each girl saying "I am going a journey but I leave
14:27
these pots." "You must let nobody into the house when I come back they will
14:32
tell me what has happened." "Nothing will have happened," said the girls the father went away and the following day
14:39
the king accompanied by two friends paid a visit to the three girls who were sitting at supper when they saw who was
14:45
there Maria said "Let us go and get a bottle of wine from the cellar i will carry the key my eldest sister can take
14:53
the light while the other brings the bottle." But the king replied "Oh do not trouble we are not thirsty." "Very well
15:01
we will not go," answered the two elder girls "but Maria merely said I shall go anyhow." She left the room and went to
15:08
the hall where she put out the light and putting down the key and the bottle ran to the house of a neighbor and knocked
15:15
at the door "who is there so late?" asked an old woman who thrusting her head out of the window "oh let me in,"
15:22
answered Maria "i have quarrelled with my eldest sister and as I do not want to fight anymore I have come to beg you to
15:28
allow me to sleep with you." So the old woman opened the door and Maria slept in her house the king
15:35
was very angry at her for playing truent but when she returned home the next day she found the plants of her sisters
15:41
withered away because they had disobeyed their father now the window in the room
15:47
of the eldest overlooked the gardens of the king and when she saw how fine and ripe the medlars were on the tree she
15:54
longed to eat some and begged Maria to scramble down by a rope and pick her a few and she would draw her up again
16:01
maria who was good-natured swung herself into the garden by the rope and got the medddlers and was just making the rope
16:08
fast under her arms so as to be held up when her sister cried "Oh there are such delicious lemons a little farther on you
16:16
might bring me one or two." Maria turned around to pluck them and found herself
16:21
face to face with the gardener who caught hold of her exclaiming "What are you doing here you little thief?" Don't
16:27
call me names she said or you will get the worst of it giving him as she spoke such a violent push that he fell panting
16:35
into the lemon bushes then she seized the cord and clambored up to the window
16:40
the next day the second sister had a fancy for bananas and begged so hard that though Maria had declared she would
16:47
never do such a thing again at last she consented and went down the rope into the king's garden this time she met the
16:54
king who said to her "Ah here you are again cunning one now she you shall pay
16:59
for your misdeeds." And he began to cross question her about what she had done."
17:06
Maria denied nothing and when she had finished the king said again "Follow me to the house and there you shall pay the
17:13
penalty." And as he spoke he started for the house looking back from time to time to make sure that Maria had not run away
17:21
all of a sudden when he glanced round he found she had vanished completely without leaving a trace of where she had
17:26
gone search was made all through the town and there was not a hole or corner which was not ransacked but there was no
17:33
sign of her anywhere this so enraged the king that he became quite ill and for
17:38
many months his life was despaed of meanwhile the two elder sisters had
17:43
married the two friends of the king and were the mothers of little daughters now
17:49
one day Maria stole secretly to the house where her eldest sister lived and
17:54
snatching up the children put them into a beautiful basket she had with her covered with flowers inside and out so
18:01
that no one would ever guess it held two babies then she dressed herself as a boy
18:06
and placing the basket on her head she walked slowly past the palace crying as
18:12
she went "Who will carry these flowers to the king who lies sick of love
18:18
and the king in his bed heard what she said and ordered one of his attendants to go out and buy the basket it was
18:26
brought to his bedside and as he raised the lid cries were heard and peeping in
18:31
he saw two little children he was furious at this new trick which he felt
18:36
had been played on him by Maria and was still looking at them wondering how he should pay her out when he was told that
18:44
the merchant Maria's father had finished the business on which he had been sent and returned home then the king
18:51
remembered how Maria had refused to receive his visit and how she had stolen his fruit and he determined to be
18:57
revenged on her so he sent a message by one of his pages that the merchant was
19:02
to come to see him the next day and bring with him a coat made of stone or else he would be
19:09
punished now the poor man had been very sad since he got home the evening before
19:14
for though his daughters had promised that nothing should happen while he was away he had found the two elder ones
19:20
married without asking his leave and now there was this fresh misfortune for how was he to make a coat of stone he rung
19:28
his hands and declared that the king would be the ruin of him when Maria suddenly entered do not grieve about the
19:34
code of stone dear father but take this bit of chalk and go to the palace and
19:39
say "You have come to measure the king." The old man did not see the use
19:44
of this but Maria had so often helped him before that he had confidence in her
19:49
so he put the chalk in his pocket and went to the palace that is no good said
19:55
the king when the merchant had told him what he had come for well I can't make
20:00
the coat you want replied he then if you would save your head hand
20:05
over to me your daughter Maria the merchant did not reply but went sorrowfully back to his house where
20:11
Maria sat waiting for him oh my dear child why was I born the king says that
20:17
instead of the coat I must deliver you up to him do not be unhappy dear father
20:23
but get a doll made exactly like me with a string attached to its head which I can pull for yes and no so the old man
20:30
went out at once to see about it the king remained patiently in his palace feeling sure that this time Maria could
20:37
not escape him and he said to his pages "If a gentleman should come here with his daughter and ask to be allowed to
20:44
speak with me put the young lady in my room and see she does not leave it."
20:50
When the door was shut on Maria who had concealed the doll under her cloak she hid herself under the couch keeping fast
20:56
hold of the string which was fastened to its head "senor Maria I hope you are well,"
21:03
said the king when he entered the room the doll nodded "now we will reckon up accounts," continued he and he began at
21:10
the beginning and ended up with a flower basket and at each fresh misdeed Maria
21:16
pulled the string so that the doll's head nodded a scent who so mocks at me merits death declared the king when he
21:21
had ended and drawing his sword cut off the doll's head it fell towards him and as he felt
21:29
the touch of a kiss he exclaimed "Ah Maria Maria so sweet in death so hard to
21:36
me in life." The man who could kill you deserves to die and he was about to turn
21:42
his sword on himself when the true Maria sprung out from under the bed and flung herself into his arms and the next day
21:49
they were married and lived happily for many years the
