He eventually falls in love with the picture of a beautiful woman and demands to see the original. She is the most beautiful Princess in the world and has many suitors.

In this case the King, whose unfaithful wife has embittered him against a second marriage, is taught to love by the Princess. The third story, "The Descent of the Sun,' is a fairy tale.
