Fair, Brown and Trembling

Other tales of this type include Cinderella, Finette Cendron, The Golden Slipper, Katie Woodencloak, Rushen Coatie, The Sharp Grey Sheep, The Story of Tam and Cam, and The Wonderful Birch.

Since Trembling was the most beautiful, her older sisters made her stay at home, for fear that she would marry before them.

After two more times, the son of the king of Emania forgot Fair for the woman who had come to church and ran after her, managing to get her shoe when she rode off.

The king's son said at once that she was the woman; Trembling went off and reappeared in the clothing she had worn to church, and everyone else agreed.

She told him that the whale would swallow and spit her back up three times, and she could not leave the beach.

Her sister gave the cowherd a drink that made him forget the first time, but the second, he told the prince.
