- [101](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/6/101/) — The widow’s anger now turned into joy, and she came running to the splendid coach and kissed the king’s hand.
- [102](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/6/102/) — “I hope you will be more obedient to his Majesty than you were to me,” she said; and the boy shrank away half-frightened.

- [104](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/6/104/) — Then he climbed into the coach and was driven away.
- [105](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/6/105/) — After they had gone some distance the king said: “Why were you crying so bitterly in the garden just now?”
- [106](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/6/106/) — “Because my mother had been beating me,” replied the boy.

- [108](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/6/108/) — “Because I would not tell her my dream.”
- [109](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/6/109/) — “And why wouldn’t you tell it to her?”
- [110](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/6/110/) — “Because I will never tell it to anyone till it comes true,” answered the boy.
- [111](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg2435/6/111/) — “And won’t you tell it to me either?” asked the king in surprise.
