The Ill-Fated Princess

The Ill-Fated Princess is a Greek fairy tale collected by Georgios A. Megas in Folktales of Greece.

The youngest daughter heard this, told her mother to sew her dowry into the hem of her skirt, dressed herself as a nun, and left, despite her mother's pleas.

She stayed at a cloth-dealer's, but her fate came and tore up the cloth, and they turned her out; she paid for the damage from her dowry and went on.

She stayed at a glass-merchant's, but her fate came and smashed the glass; she paid for the damage and went on.

A nearby king was marrying, and a quantity of silk was missing to sew the bride's dress.
