1. Narative Text
Once upon a time there was a king who had three daughters. Because they were good and
beautiful he loved them all sincerely. He did not know which one he should appoint as queen.
As his birthday approached he summoned his daughters and said to them, "My dear children,
I love all three of you sincerely, and for a long time have not known which one of you I
should name to be the heir to my throne. But I have now decided that the one of you shall
become queen who brings to me a birthday present that is most necessary in human life. Go
and make your plans accordingly and with utmost diligence."
The old king's birthday arrived, and the two oldest daughters brought him presents that were
very necessary, but at the same time extremely expensive. However, the youngest daughter
brought him nothing more than a little pile of salt in a decorated container. When the king
saw her present, he became very angry, and he drove his daughter out of the castle,
forbidding her ever again to let herself be seen by him.
With deep sorrow the rejected daughter went out into the unknown world, comforted only by
her faith in her own good sense. After walking a good while she came to an inn. There she
found a female innkeeper who thoroughly understood cooking. She entered an apprenticeship
with her and soon exceeded even the innkeeper in the art of cooking.
News spread far and wide of the excellent cook in this inn, and everyone who came this way
and who still had a few Kreutzer left in his pocket stopped to be served a roast or something
even more elegant.
The king heard of the cook's reputation, and he hired her as court cook. Now it came to pass
that the oldest princess was getting married, and the famous cook was assigned the
preparation of the wedding feast, with no expenses to be spared.
Thus on the wedding day one elegant dish after the other was served until the table almost
cracked. Everything was excellently prepared, and everyone praised the cook. Finally the
king's favorite dish arrived. Quickly taking a spoon he tasted it. "This has not been salted!" he
cried out angrily. "Have the cook brought before me!"
They quickly ran for the cook, who entered the hall undaunted.
"Why did you forget to salt my favorite dish, you careless girl?" snapped the king at her.
The cook answered, "You drove away your youngest daughter because she thought that salt
was so necessary. Perhaps you can now see that your child was not so wrong."
When the king heard these words he recognized his daughter, begged her for forgiveness,
asked her to be seated at his side, and accepted her once again as his dear child. Then the
wedding became doubly joyful.
The king lived happily with his children for many years thereafter.
