One is of Father Roquelaure, who tells how Prince Emilien's task of finding the princess will be hard.
He will have to rub the wheels with moss to cross a river with no bridge, which will create a bridge; he will have to offer the fairy a distaff with diamonds and then give her a sleeping potion; when he takes the princess, his horses will refuse to go on, and he will have to refuse offers from coachmen with horses and carriages and instead dash them to pieces; when the princess becomes thirsty and vendors offer to sell her drinks, the drinks will be poison and he will have to dash them to the ground; they will come upon a drowning man, and the prince will have to push him back into the water rather than rescue him; finally, he will have to rub the wheels with moss again.
Throughout their journey, Jean tells Emilien to trust him and implements Father Roquelaure's words.
After they return home and marry, Emilien demands that Jean explain his actions or be imprisoned.
A poor old woman comes to the christening feast, and so that no one will be unhappy there, he gives her a place and food to eat.
