Once upon a time, a king had one son, and when he was old enough, he told his father he wished to marry the most beautiful woman in the world.
"I'm going to travel the world until I find her," said the prince. And he set off.
He traveled far that first day and came to a stream, where he stopped to drink. As he leaned over, he saw three oranges reflected in the water. He turned around and saw an orange tree. The fruit looked so tasty that the prince could not resist. So he climbed the tree and plucked three oranges.
When he cut open the first orange, a beautiful maiden stepped out from the inside. She said, "Give me bread," but the prince shook his head and said, "I have no bread." Before he could stop her, she stepped back inside and the orange became whole again.
Amazed, the prince cut open the second orange. This time a maiden even more beautiful than the first stepped out and said, "Give me bread."
"I can't," the prince said, "I have none." Once again, before he could say another word, she stepped inside and the orange became whole.
Now the prince decided he must find some bread, and as he was contemplating what to do, a gypsy happened to pass by in a cart.
"Hello, my friend," the prince called. "I will give you a sack of gold for a piece of bread."
Naturally, the gypsy gave the prince some bread, and they made their exchange. The prince quickly sliced open the third orange, and out stepped another beautiful maiden.
"Please give me bread," she said, and the prince handed her the bread.
The maiden ate it and smiled at the prince, who had fallen for her.
"Marry me," he said, and the maiden agreed.
The prince saw the maiden was wearing tattered clothing, and he could not take her to the palace as she was. He turned to the gypsy and said, "Let me borrow your cart to go get clothing for my beloved."
The gypsy said, "OK, but I must wake my daughter," and he reached down and shook the girl awake.
His daughter sat up, took one look at the prince and fell instantly in love. When the prince set off with the cart, the gypsy told his daughter the story. As he did, she concocted a plan to win over the prince.
She turned to the maiden and said, "Let me comb your hair. I will make you even more beautiful than you already are."
The maiden agreed, and the girl began to brush her hair. As she did, she pierced the maiden's head with a pin and she instantly turned into a dove and flew away.
The girl removed her own clothes and dressed in the maiden's tatters, and she sat in the spot where the maiden had been. When the prince returned from getting new clothes, he squinted at her. "You look different," he said. "What has changed?"
"The sun has burned me," she said.
"But your eyes were full of light," he said.
