+
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+
+<p>Once upon a time there were three Princesses, named Roussette, Brunette,
+and Blondine, who lived in retirement with their mother, a Princess who
+had lost all her former grandeur. One day an old woman called and asked
+for a dinner, as this Princess was an excellent cook. After the meal was
+over, the old woman, who was a fairy, promised that their kindness
+should be rewarded, and immediately disappeared.</p>
+
+<p>Shortly after, the King came that way, with his brother and the Lord
+Admiral. They were all so struck with the beauty of the three
+Princesses, that the King married the youngest, Blondine, his brother
+married Brunette, and the Lord Admiral married Roussette.</p>
+
+<p>The good Fairy, who had brought all this about, also caused the young
+Queen Blondine to have three lovely children, two boys and a girl, out
+of whose hair fell fine jewels. Each had a brilliant star on the
+forehead, and a rich chain of gold around the neck. At the same time
+Brunette, her sister, gave birth to a handsome boy. Now the young Queen
+and Brunette were much attached to each other, but Roussette was jealous
+of both, and the old Queen, the King's mother, hated them. Brunette died
+soon after the birth of her son, and the King was absent on a warlike
+expedition, so Roussette joined the wicked old Queen in forming plans to
+injure Blondine. They ordered Feintise, the old Queen's waiting-woman,
+to strangle the Queen's three children and the son of Princess Brunette,
+and bury them secretly. But as she was about to execute this wicked
+order, she was so struck by their beauty, and the appearance of the
+sparkling stars on their foreheads, that she shrank from the deed.</p>
+
+<p>So she had a boat brought round to the beach, and put the four babes,
+with some strings of jewels, into a cradle, which she placed in the
+boat, and then set it adrift. The boat was soon far out at sea. The
+waves rose, the rain poured in torrents, and the thunder roared.
+Feintise could not doubt that the boat would be swamped, and felt
+relieved by the thought that the poor little innocents would perish, for
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[Pg 2]</a></span>she would otherwise always be haunted by the fear that something
+would occur to betray the share she had had in their preservation.</p>
+

+
+<div class="figcenter"><img src="images/i001.jpg" alt="" /></div>

+
+<p>But the good Fairy protected them, and after floating at sea for seven
+days they were picked up by a Corsair. He was so struck by their beauty
+that he altered his course, and took them home to his wife, who had no
+children. She was transported with joy when he placed them in her hands.
+They admired together the wonderful stars, the chains of gold that could
+not be taken off their necks, and their long ringlets. Much greater was
+the woman's astonishment when she combed them, for at every instant
+there rolled out of their hair pearls, rubies, diamonds, and emeralds.
+She told her husband of it, who was not less surprised than herself.</p>
+
+<p>"I am very tired," said he, "of a Corsair's life, and if the locks of
+those little children continue to supply us with such treasures, I will
+give up roaming the seas." The Corsair's wife, whose name was Corsine,
+was enchanted at this, and loved the four infants so much the more for
+it. She named the Princess, Belle-Etoile, her eldest brother,
+Petit-Soleil, the second, Heureux, and the son of Brunette, Cheri.</p>
+
+<p>As they grew older, the Corsair applied himself seriously to their
+education, as he felt convinced there was some great mystery attached to
+their birth.</p>
+
+<p>The Corsair and his wife had never told the story of the four children,
+who passed for their own. They were exceedingly united, but Prince Cheri
+entertained for Princess Belle-Etoile a greater affection than the other
+two. The moment she expressed a wish for anything, he would attempt even
+impossibilities to gratify her.</p>
+
+<p>One day Belle-Etoile overheard the Corsair and his wife talking. "When I
+fell in with them," said the Corsair, "I saw nothing that could give me
+any idea of their birth." "I suspect," said Corsine, "that Cheri is not
+their brother, he has neither star nor neck-chain." Belle-Etoile
+immediately ran and told this to the three Princes, who resolved to
+speak to the Corsair and his wife, and ask them to let them set out to
+discover the secret of their birth. After some remonstrance they gained
+their consent. A beautiful vessel was prepared, and the young Princess
+and the three Princes set out. They determined to sail to the very spot
+where the Corsair had found them, and made preparations for a grand
+sacrifice to the fairies, for their protection and guidance. They were
+about to immolate a turtle-dove, but the Princess saved its life, and
+let it fly. At this moment a syren issued from the water, and said,
+"Cease your anxiety, let your vessel go where it will; land where it
+stops." The vessel now sailed more quickly. Suddenly they came in sight<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</a></span>
+of a city so beautiful that they were anxious their vessel should enter
+the port. Their wishes were accomplished; they landed, and the shore in
+a moment was crowded with people, who had observed the magnificence of
+their ship. They ran and told the King the news, and as the grand
+terrace of the Palace looked out upon the sea-shore, he speedily
+repaired thither. The Princes, hearing the people say, "There is the
+King," looked up, and made a profound obeisance. He looked earnestly at
+them, and was as much charmed by the Princess's beauty, as by the
+handsome mien of the young Princes. He ordered his equerry to offer them
+his protection, and everything that they might require.</p>
+
+<p>The King was so interested about these four children, that he went into
+the chamber of the Queen, his mother, to tell her of the wonderful stars
+which shone upon their foreheads, and everything that he admired in
+them. She was thunderstruck at it, and was terribly afraid that Feintise
+had betrayed her, and sent her secretary to enquire about them. What he
+told her of their ages confirmed her suspicions. She sent for Feintise,
+and threatened to kill her. Feintise, half dead with terror, confessed
+all; but promised, if she spared her, that she would still find means to
+do away with them. The Queen was appeased; and, indeed, old Feintise did
+all she could for her own sake. Taking a guitar, she went and sat down
+opposite the Princess's window, and sang a song which Belle-Etoile
+thought so pretty that she invited her into her chamber. "My fair
+child," said Feintise, "Heaven has made you very lovely, but you yet
+want one thing&mdash;the dancing-water. If I had possessed it, you would not
+have seen a white hair upon my head, nor a wrinkle on my face. Alas! I
+knew this secret too late; my charms had already faded." "But where
+shall I find this dancing-water?" asked Belle-Etoile. "It is in the
+luminous forest," said Feintise. "You have three brothers; does not any
+one of them love you sufficiently to go and fetch some?" "My brothers
+all love me," said the Princess, "but there is one of them who would not
+refuse me anything." The perfidious old woman retired, delighted at
+having been so successful. The Princes, returning from the chase, found
+Belle-Etoile engrossed by the advice of Feintise. Her anxiety about it
+was so apparent, that Cheri, who thought of nothing but pleasing her,
+soon found out the cause of it, and, in spite of her entreaties, he
+mounted his white horse, and set out in search of the dancing-water.
+When supper-time arrived, and the Princess did not see her brother
+Cheri, she could neither eat nor drink; and desired he might be sought
+for everywhere, and sent messengers to find him and bring him back.</p>

+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span>The wicked Feintise was very anxious to know the result of her advice;
+and when she heard that Cheri had already set out, she was delighted,
+and reported to the Queen-Mother all that had passed. "I admit, Madam,"
+said she, "that I can no longer doubt that they are the same four
+children: but one of the Princes is already gone to seek the
+dancing-water, and will no doubt perish in the attempt, and I shall find
+similar means to do away with all of them."</p>
+
+<p>The plan she had adopted with regard to Prince Cheri was one of the most
+certain, for the dancing-water was not easily to be obtained; it was so
+notorious from the misfortunes which occurred to all who sought it, that
+every one knew the road to it. He was eight days without taking any
+repose but in the woods. At the end of this period he began to suffer
+very much from the heat; but it was not the heat of the sun, and he did
+not know the cause of it, until from the top of a mountain he perceived
+the luminous forest; all the trees were burning without being consumed,
+and casting out flames to such a distance that the country around was a
+dry desert.</p>
+
+<p>At this terrible scene he descended, and more than once gave himself up
+for lost. As he approached this great fire he was ready to die with
+thirst; and perceiving a spring falling into a marble basin, he alighted
+from his horse, approached it, and stooped to take up some water in the
+little golden vase which he had brought with him, when he saw a
+turtle-dove drowning in the fountain. Cheri took pity on it, and saved
+it. "My Lord Cheri," she said, "I am not ungrateful; I can guide you to
+the dancing-water, which, without me, you could never obtain, as it
+rises in the middle of the forest, and can only be reached by going
+underground." The Dove then flew away, and summoned a number of foxes,
+badgers, moles, snails, ants, and all sorts of creatures that burrow in
+the earth. Cheri got off his horse at the entrance of the subterranean
+passage they made for him, and groped his way after the kind Dove, which
+safely conducted him to the fountain. The Prince filled his golden vase;
+and returned the same way he came.</p>
+
+<p>He found Belle-Etoile sorrowfully seated under some trees, but when she
+saw him she was so pleased that she scarcely knew how to welcome him.</p>
+
+<p>Old Feintise learned from her spies that Cheri had returned, and that
+the Princess, having washed her face with the dancing-water, had become
+more lovely than ever. Finding this, she lost no time in artfully making
+the Princess sigh for the wonderful singing-apple. Prince Cheri again
+found her unhappy, and again found out the cause, and once more set out
+on his white horse, leaving a letter for Belle-Etoile.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span>In the meanwhile, the King did not forget the lovely children, and
+reproached them for never going to the Palace. They excused themselves
+by saying that their brother's absence prevented them.</p>
+
+<p>Prince Cheri at break of day perceived a handsome young man, from whom
+he learned where the singing-apple was to be found: but after travelling
+some time without seeing any sign of it, he saw a poor turtle-dove fall
+at his feet almost dead. He took pity on it, and restored it, when it
+said, "Good-day, handsome Cheri, you are destined to save my life, and I
+to do you signal service. You are come to seek for the singing-apple: it
+is guarded by a terrible dragon." The Dove then led him to a place where
+he found a suit of armour, all of glass: and by her advice he put it on,
+and boldly went to meet the dragon. The two-headed monster came bounding
+along, fire issuing from his throat; but when he saw his alarming figure
+multiplied in the Prince's mirrors he was frightened in his turn. He
+stopped, and looking fiercely at the Prince, apparently laden with
+dragons, he took flight and threw himself into a deep chasm. The Prince
+then found the tree, which was surrounded with human bones, and breaking
+off an apple, prepared to return to the Princess. She had never slept
+during his absence, and ran to meet him eagerly.</p>
+
+<p>When the wicked Feintise heard the sweet singing of the apple, her grief
+was excessive, for instead of doing harm to these lovely children, she
+only did them good by her perfidious counsels. She allowed some days to
+pass by without showing herself; and then once more made the Princess
+unhappy by saying that the dancing-water and the singing-apple were
+useless without the little green bird that tells everything.</p>
+
+<p>Cheri again set out, and after some trouble learnt that this bird was to
+be found on the top of a frightful rock, in a frozen climate. At length,
+at dawn of day, he perceived the rock, which was very high and very
+steep, and upon the summit of it was the bird, speaking like an oracle,
+telling wonderful things. He thought that with a little dexterity it
+would be easy to catch it, for it seemed very tame. He got off his
+horse, and climbed up very quietly. He was so close to the green bird
+that he thought he could lay hands on it, when suddenly the rock opened
+and he fell into a spacious hall, and became as motionless as a statue;
+he could neither stir, nor utter a complaint at his deplorable
+situation. Three hundred knights, who had made the same attempt, were in
+the same state. To look at each other was the only thing permitted them.</p>
+
+<hr style="width: 65%;" />
+
+<div class="figcenter"><img src="images/i006.jpg" alt="" /></div>
+
+<hr style="width: 65%;" />
+
+<p>The time seemed so long to Belle-Etoile, and still no signs of her
+beloved<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span> Cheri, that she fell dangerously ill; and in the hopes of
+curing her, Petit-Soleil resolved to seek him.</p>
+
+<p>But he too was swallowed up by the rock and fell into the great hall.
+The first person he saw was Cheri, but he could not speak to him; and
+Prince Heureux, following soon after, met with the same fate as the
+other two.</p>
+
+<p>When Feintise was aware that the third Prince was gone, she was
+exceedingly delighted at the success of her plan; and when Belle-Etoile,
+inconsolable at finding not one of her brothers return, reproached
+herself for their loss, and resolved to follow them, she was quite
+overjoyed.</p>
+
+<p>The Princess was disguised as a cavalier, but had no other armour than
+her helmet. She was dreadfully cold as she drew near the rock, but
+seeing a turtle-dove lying on the snow, she took it up, warmed it, and
+restored it to life: and the dove reviving, gaily said, "I know you, in
+spite of your disguise; follow my advice: when you arrive at the rock,
+remain at the bottom and begin to sing the sweetest song you know; the
+green bird will listen to you; you must then pretend to go to sleep;
+when it sees me, it will come down to peck me, and at that moment you
+will be able to seize it."</p>
+
+<p>All this fell out as the Dove foretold. The green bird begged for
+liberty. "First," said Belle-Etoile, "I wish that thou wouldst restore
+my three brothers to me."</p>
+
+<p>"Under my left wing there is a red feather," said the bird: "pull it
+out, and touch the rock with it."</p>
+
+<p>The Princess hastened to do as she was instructed; the rock split from
+the top to the bottom: she entered with a victorious air the hall in
+which stood the three Princes with many others; she ran towards Cheri,
+who did not know her in her helmet and male attire, and could neither
+speak nor move. The green bird then told the Princess she must rub the
+eyes and mouth of all those she wished to disenchant with the red
+feather, which good office she did to all.</p>
+
+<p>The three Princes and Belle-Etoile hastened to present themselves to the
+King; and when Belle-Etoile showed her treasures, the little green bird
+told him that the Princes Petit-Soleil and Heureux and the Princess
+Belle-Etoile were his children, and that Prince Cheri was his nephew.
+Queen Blondine, who had mourned for them all these years, embraced them,
+and the wicked Queen-Mother and old Feintise were justly punished. And
+the King, who thought his nephew Cheri the handsomest man at Court,
+consented to his marriage with Belle-Etoile. And lastly, to make
+everyone happy, the King sent for the Corsair and his wife, who gladly
+came.</p>

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
