00:00Bring the Queen to the secret room.

00:16Please return the prisoner. I will do as you request.

00:25Yeah!

00:30Once upon a time, there was a king and queen who lived happily and comfortably together.

00:35They were very fond of each other and had nothing to worry them.

00:38But at last, the king grew restless.

00:41He longed to go out into the world, to try his strength in battle against some enemy

00:45and to win all kinds of honor and glory.

00:47So he called his army together and gave orders to start for a distant country,

00:52where a heathen king ruled who ill-treated or tormented everyone he could lay his hands on.

00:56The king then gave his parting orders and wise advice to his ministers,

01:00took a tender leave of his wife and set off with his army across the seas.

01:04I cannot say whether the voyage was short or long.

01:11But at last, he reached the country of the heathen king and marched on,

01:14defeating all who came in his way.

01:26But this did not last long.

01:28For in time, he came to a mountain pass where a large army was waiting for him.

01:32Who put his soldiers to flight and took the king himself prisoner.

01:44He was carried off to the prison where the heathen king kept his captives.

01:48And now our poor friend had a very bad time indeed.

01:51All night long, the prisoners were chained up.

01:54And in the morning, they were yoked together like oxen and had to plow the land till it grew dark.

01:59This state of things went on for three years before the king found any means of sending news of himself to his dear queen.

02:05But at last, he contrived to send this letter.

02:08Sell all our castles and palaces and put all our treasures in pawn and come and deliver me out of this horrible prison.

02:15How can I deliver my dearest husband?

02:18If I go myself and the heathen king sees me, he will just take me to be one of his wives.

02:25If I were to send one of the ministers, but I hardly know if I can depend on them.

02:31And at last, an idea came into her head.

02:33She put on a wig and changed into men's clothes.

02:37Then she took her lute and without saying anything to anyone, she went forth into the wide world.

02:42She traveled through many lands and saw many cities and went through many hardships before she got to the town where the heathen king lived.

02:49When she got there, she walked all around the palace and at the back she saw the prison.

02:54Then she went into the great court in front of the palace.

02:57And taking her lute in her hand, she began to play so beautifully that one felt as though one could never hear enough.

03:03Her voice was sweeter than the lark's.

03:10I come from my own country far into this foreign land.

03:16Of all I own, I take alone my sweet lute in my hand.

03:21Oh, who will thank me for my song, reward my simple lay?

03:27Like lovers' sighs, it still shall rise to greet thee day by day.

03:32I sing of blooming flowers made sweet by sun and rain.

03:38Of all the bliss of love's first kiss and parting's cruel pain.

03:43Of the sad captive's longing within his prison wall of hearts that sigh when none are nigh to answer to their call.

03:53My song begs for your pity and gifts from out your store.

03:58And as I play my gentle lay, I linger near your door.

04:03And if you hear my singing within your palace, I err.

04:09Oh, give, I pray this happy day.

04:14To me, my heart's desire.

04:17No sooner had the heathen king heard this touching song sung by such a lovely voice

04:22than he had the singer brought before him.

04:24Welcome, oh lute player.

04:26Where do you come from?

04:28My country, sire, is far away across many seas.

04:31For years I have been wandering about the world and gaining my living by my music.

04:36Stay here then a few days.

04:38And when you wish to leave, I will give you what you ask for in your song, your heart's desire.

04:43So the lute player stayed on in the palace and sang and played almost all day long to the king.

04:49Who could never tire of listening and almost forgot to eat or drink or to torment people.

04:54He cared for nothing but the music and nodded his head as he declared.

04:58That's something like playing and singing.

05:00It makes me feel as if some gentle hand had lifted every care and sorrow from me.

05:05After three days, the lute player came to take leave of the king.

05:08Well, what do you desire as your reward?

05:11Sire, give me one of your prisoners.

05:14You have so many in your prison and I should be glad of a companion on my journeys.

05:19When I hear his happy voice as I travel along, I shall think of you and thank you.

05:23Come along then. Choose whom you will.

05:26He took the lute player through the prison himself.

05:29The queen walked about amongst the prisoners and at length she picked out her husband and took him with her on her journey.

05:35They were long on their way, but he never found out who she was, and she led him nearer and nearer to his own country.

05:45When they reached the frontier, the prisoner said,

05:48Let me go now, kind lad. I am no common prisoner, but the king of this country.

05:53Let me go free and ask what you will as your reward.

05:56Do not speak of reward. Go in peace.

05:59Then come with me, dear boy, and be my guest.

06:01When the proper time comes, I shall be at your palace, was the reply, and so they parted.

06:07The queen took a short way home, got there before the king and changed her dress.

06:11An hour later, all the people in the palace were running to and fro and crying out,

06:16Our king has come back. Our king has returned to us.

06:20The king greeted everyone very kindly, but he would not so much as look at the queen.

06:25Then he called all his council and ministers together and said to them,

06:29See what sort of a wife I have. Here she has fallen on my neck.

06:33But when I was pining in prison and sent her word of it, she did nothing to help me.

06:38And his council answered with one voice,

06:40Sire, when news was brought from you, the queen disappeared and no one knew where she went.

06:46She only returned today.

06:49Then the king was very angry and cried,

06:51Judge my faithless wife!

06:53Never would you have seen your king again if a young lute player had not delivered him.

06:58I shall remember him with love and gratitude as long as I live.

07:02Whilst the king was sitting with his council, the queen found time to disguise herself.

07:06She took her lute, and slipping into the court in front of the palace, she sang clear and sweet.

07:11My song begs for your pity, and gifts from out your store.

07:17And as I play my gentle lay, I linger near your door.

07:22And if you hear my singing within your palace, I urge.

07:28Oh, give, I pray, this happy day, to me my heart's desire.

07:38Sing, I pray that I, this happy day, to me my heart's desire.

07:53As soon as the king heard this song, he ran out to meet the lute player.

07:59Took him by the hand and led him into the palace.

08:02Here's the boy who released me from my prison.

08:04And now, my true friend, I will indeed give you your heart's desire.

08:08I am sure you will not be less generous than the heathen king was, Sire.

08:13I ask of you what I asked and obtained from him.

08:16But this time, I don't mean to give up what I get. I want you yourself.

08:20And as she spoke, she threw off her long cloak, and everyone saw it was the queen.

08:25Who can tell how happy the king was?

08:27In the joy of his heart, he gave a great feast to the whole world.

08:31And the whole world came and rejoiced with him for a whole week.

08:34I was there too, and ate and drank many good things.

08:38I shan't forget that feast as long as I live.

08:41I was there too, and ate and drank many good things.

08:44I didn't lose.

08:46I can't even taste it.

08:48I was there too.

08:50I am still sure what I did to all my dog's work.

08:53And I'm still good at all.

08:55I'm out of my pocket.

08:56I was a friend.

08:58I was just not sure what I thought.

08:59I was a friend.

09:00I was waiter and I came up for a while.

09:01And I'm a parent.

09:02And I'm a friend that loved him.

09:04I'm a friend.

09:07This was a friend & I love you.
