‘Can I please marry the Prince now?’ said Isabella.

‘Ah,’ said the King. ‘Ah. Now, all the best things come in threes, my dear. That makes them true. And just to make sure you haven’t been lucky twice … do it again tonight! And then you shall marry my son.’

And they locked her in … with a pile of straw so big it almost filled the room!

That night a terrible storm shook the palace. Thunder boomed and bellowed, lightning zig-zagged down the sky. But Isabella kept the window open, hoping the little man would come again.

And he did, sliding right into the room down a ladder of lightning.

‘I’ve nothing to give you this time,’ cried Isabella, ‘nothing at all!’

‘But you will have, little maiden. Oh, you will have.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘You will marry your handsome Prince.’

‘How do you know?’

‘I know everything. And after a time your first child will be born. But …’

And the little man gave a rasping laugh from his knobbly potato head.

‘You won’t have it for long. You’ll give it to me!’
