When the queen discovered this and, when the king returned, she feigned sickness and then bribed a doctor to say that she needed the flesh of the dun bull to be well again.

They passed through a forest made of copper trees and although the bull told her not to break off any branches, she broke off a leaf.

The bull won, though he was gravely injured, and the princess had to cure him with a horn of ointment that the troll carried on his person.

The bull gave her a wooden cloak and told her to ask for work at the castle as "Katie Woodencloak".

Wanting to find the woman, the king had all women in the kingdom try on the shoe, and it fit Katie's stepsister.
