He had seen Princess Alicia sitting at the palace window and fallen in love with her. He decided that he would have to find some way to win the princess’s hand.
That day, he bought a new coat. The shopkeeper returned some coins that had the princess’ face on them!
The soldier got a hundred coins from the market and went to the palace.
“I have seen the princess’ face a hundred times!” he announced.
The king happily gave the princess’s hand to the clever soldier!
The Happy Ending!!
