00:00The Goose Girl
00:01Once upon a time, a queen and her daughter were living together in the most beautiful castle in the country.
00:12The princess had a fairy she loved very much.
00:17This fairy always protected her.
00:21One day, when the princess reached the age of marriage, she decided to set out to meet the prince of another country.
00:30The queen gave her daughter a box of jewels to take with her.
00:42If anyone realizes that you are a princess on the way, bad things can happen to you, my dear daughter.
00:49So you will be accompanied by my assistant rather than a soldier.
00:55The good fairy also had gifts for the princess.
00:58She gave her a talking horse named Falada.
01:02Hey, I'm happy to hit the road, my princess.
01:07There is one more thing I want to give you, my princess.
01:12The fairy gave the princess a handkerchief.
01:16This is a magical handkerchief for my princess.
01:19Keep it always with you and use it when you need it.
01:23The princess said goodbye and got on Falada, and her assistant was on a donkey.
01:31Hours later, the princess, walking along the forest road, was very tired and stopped to get some rest.
01:39Oh, I'm so thirsty.
01:43We have water with us.
01:44Could you please give me some?
01:46The assistant girl drank from the water.
01:50Sorry, princess, but I was so thirsty too, so I drank it all.
01:54Find yourself another water.
01:56I'm not your servant.
01:56The princess was surprised at the servant's lack of respect, but she didn't say anything.
02:04They continued on the road.
02:06After some time passed, the princess stopped.
02:11Royal assistant, could you please get me some water from the fountain, please?
02:16Sorry, princess, but I'm not your maid.
02:18I told you, you can get off your horse and get your own water.
02:24The princess and Falada made eye contact.
02:28You know, I'm starting to have second thoughts about this assistant girl.
02:32You'd better be careful around her.
02:35The princess got off her horse, and she got down and drank some water with her palm.
02:41The magic handkerchief in her pocket suddenly started talking.
02:46Be careful, my princess.
02:48This assistant girl is dangerous.
02:51But as the princess bowed down to drink, her magic handkerchief fell into the water.
02:59Oh, no!
03:02Seeing the magic handkerchief flowing in the water, the assistant girl saw her opportunity.
03:10You have no more power left.
03:13From now on, I am giving all the orders.
03:18You will do exactly what I say.
03:22Now, take off the princess clothes and give them to me.
03:28If you tell anyone the truth, I'll get you jailed.
03:35The assistant girl did not only wear the princess's clothes, she also got on her horse, Falada, and started to move forward.
03:46The real princess, on the other hand, got on the donkey and slowly followed.
03:52After a while, they both arrived at the prince's palace.
03:56When the prince welcomed them, he thought the assistant girl was a princess and invited her in.
04:03But he also noticed the servant girl, who was actually the real princess.
04:07Well, my prince, she doesn't need to come inside the palace with us.
04:16It would be best if you gave her a job and remind her of her place as my servant.
04:22So the prince did so and introduced her to a boy named Conrad, who was the keeper of the geese.
04:29By helping Conrad, you can be a goose shepherd, too.
04:34My prince, I have one more request from you.
04:37Could you tie up this grumpy horse?
04:39Better yet, lock him in chains.
04:41He almost threw me off on the way here.
04:43So, the prince summoned an assistant and ordered him to chain the horse to a barn.
04:50The assistant girl was trying to make sure her deception stayed a secret and fooled the prince.
04:57The real princess was sad and wept that her horse, Falada, had been chained up.
05:03She immediately went to the barn to see him.
05:06Poor Falada was just standing there in chains.
05:11Oh, Falada, what have they done to you?
05:16If your queen mother had heard what had happened, she would be very upset, my princess.
05:22Sadly, the princess left her horse, Falada, and started herding geese in the meadow with Conrad.
05:32After a while, she sat down on a stone to rest and unfastened the gold hair clips that held her beautiful hair.
05:41When Conrad saw these shiny hair clips, he immediately approached the princess's hair and wanted to take them.
05:52Golden hair clips? I want these golden hair clips.
05:56Ah! Leave my hair alone!
05:59Blow, crazy wind. Blow fast and straight.
06:02Take Conrad's hat and take it away.
06:05At that moment, such a crazy wind blew that Conrad's hat flew off his head.
06:14After pursuing the hat flying up the mountains, Conrad finally caught his hat.
06:22The princess, who had retied her hair, hid her golden hair clips.
06:31After herding the geese together until sunset, Conrad and the princess finally returned to the palace.
06:40Conrad was immediately before the king.
06:43I don't want to work with the stranger you've given me.
06:48Why, Conrad?
06:50She's crazy!
06:51She talks to her horse and is blowing off my hat and making fun of me.
06:55She doesn't work at all!
06:57After these words, doubts fell into the mind of the king.
07:01The next day, the king followed the princess in secret.
07:05The princess first went to the barn and talked to her chained horse, Falata, again.
07:14Seeing the horse talking, the king could not believe his eyes.
07:19He then went to the meadow where Conrad and the princess were herding the geese.
07:24And he hid behind the bush.
07:28After a while, he noticed the golden hair clips in the princess's hair.
07:35Blow, crazy wind!
07:40Blow right away!
07:42Take Conrad's hat and take it away!
07:45After these words of the princess, a very crazy wind started to blow.
07:51And the hat flew again!
07:55Conrad ran after his hat up to the mountains.
08:00Meanwhile, the princess hid her golden hair clips again in her hair.
08:05Seeing this, the king was very surprised and secretly returned to the palace immediately.
08:14In the evening, the king summoned the princess to his presence.
08:19He asked her about her talking horse, Falata, golden hair clips, and the wild wind.
08:27At that moment, the princess started to cry.
08:30I cannot tell you, your highness.
08:36If I did, I would go to jail.
08:39Don't be afraid to tell the truth, young girl.
08:42Tell me.
08:44The princess told the king everything, one by one, starting from the very beginning.
08:51So, you are the real princess.
08:56Don't worry.
08:57No harm will come to you.
08:59Now go and get ready, like a princess.
09:02The king immediately summoned his son, the prince, and told him everything.
09:08That same evening, without saying anything to the fake princess, the prince arranged a feast at the palace.
09:18The real princess was sitting on one side of the prince, and the fake one on the other.
09:26The beauty of the real princess was dazzling.
09:29But the fake princess did not recognize her.
09:35Who is this girl?
09:37What is she doing at the feast?
09:39Where did she find those shiny jewelry?
09:41That beautiful dress!
09:44Oh, palace nobles, I have a story for you.
09:48Listen to me now.
09:50The king started telling what happened to the princess, as if it was someone else's story.
09:56In the end, he asked everyone how someone who deceives people with lying should be punished.
10:07The heaviest punishment must be given to that liar, my king.
10:11Her feet must be chained, and she must be imprisoned forever.
10:15Is that so?
10:17But it is you who are the liar in this story.
10:20You have given yourself your own punishment.
10:26Soldiers, take this liar out of my presence now.
10:32The assistant girl thus suffered the punishment for ruining the princess's life by lying.
10:42The prince proposed to the real princess that night.
10:50Then, the princess and the prince went to the barn, and rescued the talking horse, Falada.
10:59The truth finally came out, my princess.
11:02If your queen mother saw this moment, she would cry with happiness.
11:06The princess and the prince have started a new life, in which they are very happy now.
11:13And the princess's good-hearted fairy was always with them, protecting them from all evil forever.
