The two princes were brought from their dungeons and given all
the wealth and honours the King had promised them, and when they
learned how he had been deceived, they could not but forgive him his
ill-treatment of them.
As for the old beggar-man, he was made rich for life.
The King and the princess were married, and lived in mutual love and
happiness to the end of their days; and as for Fifine, he slept on
satin cushions and ate the daintiest fare, and lived long enough to
play with Rosetta’s children and show them the hundred pretty tricks he
knew.
