But he knew what to do， and spat out once or twice behind the carriage some of the seawater which he had drunk， and a great lake arose in which the warriors were caught and drowned.

在离王子的宫殿半小时路程的地方，有一座村子，村外正好有个牧人在放一群猪。到了村里，新郎便对新娘说：“你真知道我是谁吗？我不是什么王子，而是一个牧猪人。在那儿放猪的是我父亲，我们也必须干这个，必须当他的帮手。”随后，他带她住进旅店，并悄悄吩咐店主，在夜里拿走他们王室的华丽衣服。第二天早上公主醒来，就没有衣服可穿了。这时老板娘送来一件旧长袍和几双旧羊毛袜，还做出一副慷慨施舍的样子，说：“不是看在你丈夫份上，我才不给你啦！”这一来，她真相信丈夫是个牧猪人了，只好和他一起放猪，心里想：“我以前太傲慢自大，真是活该！”这样过了八天，她再也受不了啦，因为双脚受了伤。这时走来几个人，问她知不知道她丈夫是谁。“知道，”她回答，“他是个猪倌呗，刚刚出门做带子丝线的小买卖去了。”那几个人却讲：“跟我们走吧，我们领你见他去。”说罢带她进了王宫。她一跨进大厅，她的丈夫浑身穿着华服，出现在面前。她却没认出来，直到他搂住她，吻她，对她说：“我为你受了许多苦，所以也让你体会体会这份艰辛。”之后，他们举行了隆重的婚礼。那位讲这个童话的先生，自称也是婚礼的来宾。
