The Prince, as Princes often do in these tales, would
disguise himself as a commoner and go among his people. And, as often happens,
he fell in love, with a beautiful, if unrefined, young lady who worked in an
inn. For months the two were madly in love, until The Prince could lie to her
no more, and revealed who he was to her. In shock, she laughed and made a joke
about wanting him to leave for lying to her. Heartbroken, he left before she
could stop him. He never came back.
“Be careful what you say in jest.”
