There was no one to be seen, not a sound but the dropping of the fountains and the soft chatter of the birds.

The Princess admired it all exceedingly, but she was very hungry, and as her long sleep had completely refreshed her, she felt no longer inclined to lie still.

So she crossed the room to where a curtain was hanging, which she thought perhaps concealed a door.

She drew aside the curtain, the door behind was already open; she found herself in a second room, almost as beautiful as the first, and lighted in the same way with coloured lamps hanging from the roof.

And to her great delight, before her was a table already laid for supper with every kind of delicious fruit and bread, and cakes, and everything that a young Princess could desire.
