His son did not go to the wedding, but walked in the garden, where he heard a voice saying that the man was happy who was kissed by the fair Fiorita.
The middle one gave him feathers, and the youngest a human bone and told him that an old woman could give him more directions about Fiorita.
He fell in love at once, but the old woman warned him that the king would marry her only to a man who found her in a hidden place, and many princes had already died, trying.
She told him that the rose would let him find her first in her hiding place, then among a hundred maidens, but that her father would set other tasks afterwards, more terrible.
The king gave his son-in-law his crown and held a great feast for their wedding, to which his sisters and their husbands, and the prince's father came.
