When Jorn asked for the maiden's name, the maiden said she did not know. The king decided that they would bring the maiden home (Thurber, 20-21). The Royal Recorder at the castle tried to get the princess to remember her father's name by reading aloud all the names in a book of recorded king's names, but the princess couldn't recognize any of the names (Thurber, 22-24). The Recorder took the princess to the royal clockmaker, called Tocko, since the Recorder would say that he was “ever a man of shrewd surmise and gifted guesses (Thurber, 26).” Tocko told the recorder to take the princess to a garden with silver fountains so they would observe her (Thurber, 26-27). Tocko told the Recorder a story of a deer from his father's time who was friends with a woods wizard. The woods wizard stumbled into a stream and was carried away until the deer rescued him. The wizard, to show his gratitude, gave the deer the ability to transform into a princess when it was cornered by hunters. The deer, after it was changed into a princess at one point, asked the wizard how one remains and lives as a maiden. The wizard enchanted the deer to remain a woman in physical appearance until love fails her three times. If love would fail her three times, she would go back to being a deer forever. Tocko said that the white deer never had a name and only remembered the fields and trees (Thurber, 27-29).
