` No , ' said the man , ' I will not forget . ' When he got to the market , he received the three hundred dollars , but Farmer Weatherbeard treated him so handsomely that he quite forgot to take off the halter ; so Farmer Weatherbeard went away with the horse . When he had got some distance he had to go into an inn to get some more brandy ; so he set a barrel full of red-hot nails under his horse 's nose , and a trough filled with oats beneath its tail , and then he tied the halter fast to a hook and went away into the inn . So the horse stood there stamping , and kicking , and snorting , and rearing , and out came a girl who thought it a sin and a shame to treat a horse so ill . ` Ah , poor creature , what a master you must have to treat you thus ! ' she said , and pushed the halter off the hook so that the horse might turn round and eat the oats . ' I am here ! ' shrieked Farmer Weatherbeard , rushing out of doors . But the horse had already shaken off the halter and flung himself into a goose-pond , where he changed himself into a little fish . Farmer Weatherbeard went after him , and changed himself into a great pike . So Jack turned himself into a dove , and Farmer Weatherbeard turned himself into a hawk , and flew after the dove and struck it . But a Princess was standing at a window in the King 's palace watching the struggle . ` If thou didst but know as much as I know , thou wouldst fly in to me through the window , ' said the Princess to the dove . So the dove came flying in through the window and changed itself into Jack again , and told her all as it had happened . ` Change thyself into a gold ring , and set thyself on my finger , ' said the Princess . ` No , that will not do , ' said Jack , ` for then Farmer Weatherbeard will make the King fall sick , and there will be no one who can make him well again before Farmer Weatherbeard comes and cures him , and for that he will demand the gold ring . ' ' I will say that it was my mother 's , and that I will not part with it , ' said the Princess . So Jack changed himself into a gold ring , and set himself on the Princess 's finger , and Farmer Weatherbeard could not get at him there . But then all that the youth had foretold came to pass . The King became ill , and there was no doctor who could cure him till Farmer Weatherbeard arrived , and he demanded the ring which was on the Princess 's finger as a reward .
So the King sent a messenger to the Princess for the XXXXX .
