But there was a problem. Everything the princess touched would melt. Nobody would dare marry her. The king despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted his wizards and magicians. One wizard told the king, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured."
The king was overjoyed and came up with a plan next day, he held a competition. Any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt would marry her and inherit the king's wealth.
THREE YOUNG PRINCES TOOK UP THE CHALLENGE. The first brought a sword of the finest steel
But alas, when the princess touched it, it melted, and t he prince went away sadly.
The second prince brought diamonds.
The third prince approached. He told the princess, "Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there."
