Write an end to the fairy tale "The Great Iron Chest".

Now read the real end of this story and compare it with your own. Write five things
that are different or the same in these stories.

A. In my story the Prince waits for the Princess in the

forest but in the real story the Wicked Witch takes him
to a faraway land.
B. In both stories the Prince and Princess get married.
The Princess told the P rince she would do ev ery th in g he had
asked h er b u t when she got home, w ith o u t th in k in g , she spoke more
than th re e words to her old fa th e r, and (though she was not th ere
to see) no sooner had she spoken th e fo u rth word, than the Chest
and the P rince were gone. W hen th e P rincess came back to th e
place where they had been, she couldn’t find them . So now, the poor
girl walked and walked in th e forest looking fo r h er Prince. A t last
she came to a little cottage. She looked th ro u g h th e window and
saw a clean room w ith a large table set fo r dinner. There were no
people inside only a whole company of frogs. The Princess knocked
and th e frogs let her in. She was kind to them and they told her
th a t th e W icked W itch had taken th e Prince to a faraw ay land.
They said th a t the way there was long and dangerous. They d id n ’t
w ant th e Princess to go on her journey b u t th e girl said she would
go. So she did. She found the P rince over th e glass m ountain on
the shore of a deep lake. He was sleeping. She told him she had set
him free when he was in the iron C hest, she had climbed a glass
m ountain and had swum over a g re a t deep lake before she found
him . The P rince opened his eyes, looked a t th e Princess. He was so
happy she had come! Both of them s ta rte d on th e ir journey back,
 th a t long dangerous journey. A fte r nine days of w alking they found
they were in the fo rest w here everything had begun. They saw the
fro g s’ cottage b u t suddenly it changed. There were b eau tifu l flow ­
ers and tall trees everyw here. In the place w here th e old little co t­
tage had stood there was a huge palace. The P rince and P rincess
got m arried. H er old fa th e r came to live w ith them . So they had
tw o kingdom s between them , and they ruled long and happily over
them both.
