She walked to him, and he was sleeping soundly. She shook him,

He could enjoy it at any time, as much as he could, and they would not decrease. Then she took a gold ring with her name engraved on it from her finger and put it on his finger. Finally, beside him, she put a letter, in which she wrote that what she gave him would never be diminished. She also wrote: "I know very well that you will never save me here. If you still want to, please go to the Golden Palace in Strongberg. I believe 100% that your power lies there."

After the man woke up, he realized that he had overslept again. He regretted it and said, "She must have been here, but I couldn't save her." He found the things around him, and after reading the letter, he understood The whole process of things. So he got up and started on the road, to go to the golden palace in Strandbourg, but he didn't know the way. He wandered around the world for a long time, and then he walked into a dark forest. After walking in it for fourteen days, he still couldn't find the way out. Another night fell, and he was so exhausted that he fell asleep with his head stuck in the bushes. The next day he continued on his way, and at night, just as he was about to lie down under a tree and go to sleep, a cry made him sleepless again. At this time someone lit a candle, and he saw a glimmer of candle light, so he got up and walked forward. He came to a house that looked very small, because there was a huge giant standing in front of the door. He thought to himself, "If I go in and let that big guy see me, maybe my life will be over."

Then he ventured in. The giant saw him and said to him, "It is very good of you to come, I have not eaten for a long time, and this is my supper." "I advise you not," replied the man, " I don't want to be eaten by others. If you are really hungry, I have enough to fill you up." "Is that true?" said the giant, "Don't be nervous, I have nothing to eat, so I am going to eat you. ’ They went in and sat down at the table, and the man brought out bread, wine, and meat that could never be eaten. "That's very nice," said the Giant happily, and devoured it. Then the man asked him: "Do you know where the Golden Palace of Strongburg is?" The giant replied: "I have to see my map, which shows all the towns, villages and houses." He found it in the house. Map, search for the Golden Palace, but can't find it. "It doesn't matter!" he said: "There is a bigger map in the cabinet upstairs, let's look for it again." But it was still in vain. The man was about to leave now, but the giant begged him to wait a few more days, saying that his brother had gone out to collect supplies and waited for him to come back. When his brother came home, they asked Strongborg where the golden palace was, and his brother replied, "Let me drink and eat before I look at the map." After dinner, they went to his bedroom together, Looked it up on his map, but couldn't find it. So he took out the older map and searched and searched until he found Strongborg's Golden Palace, but it was thousands of miles away. "How can I get there?" the man sighed. The giant said: "I can take you to that area in two hours, but when I get there, I have to go home and breastfeed our baby." So the giant took the man to a place a few miles away from the Golden Palace. He said: "It's almost here, you can easily go alone." After speaking, he turned and left. The man traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the Golden Palace in Strandbourg. The Golden Palace is located on a glass mountain, and the girl possessed by demons drove her carriage around the Golden Palace before entering the palace. He was very excited to see her and wanted to climb up to meet her, but he kept sliding down the glass and couldn't get up no matter what. He was very anxious because he was so close and could not get close. Finally, he had no choice but to make up his mind: "Live at the foot of the mountain and wait for her." So he built a shed and lived in it for a whole year, watching the king's life every day. My daughter was driving around in the mountains, but she just couldn't get close.

One day, in the shed, he saw three robbers fighting outside, and shouted, "God be with you!" They stopped after hearing the shout, but they found no one, so they fought each other again , beat you to death. He had no choice but to shout again: "God be with you!" They stopped their hands again, but they still didn't see anyone, and they beat each other again. The third time he called out again, "God be with you!" Then he thought, "I've got to see why they fight." So he went and asked them why they were fighting so hard. One of them said that he had found a stick with which he could knock on any door, and it would open instantly. The second said he had found a cloak which would make anyone invisible if he wore it, and the third said he had found a horse on which he could ride all over the world, and even climb the Glass Mountain. The problem now is that they don't know whether to share these things or give them to individuals. The man said, "I have no money, but I have something more valuable. I'll give you one thing in exchange for these three things. But first I have to do a test to see if you're telling the truth." Then they held him Mounted, put his cloak on, and handed him the stick, and when he had got them all they could see him no more. At this time, he beat them hard, and shouted as he beat them: "You rascals, you deserve it, are you satisfied?" After speaking, he rode up the glass mountain. When he reached the Golden Palace on the top of the hill, he found the door closed, so he knocked on the door with a stick, and the door opened immediately. He entered the palace and went up the stairs until he reached a hall, where he found the girl sitting with a golden goblet of wine in front of her. She could not see him, however, because he was wearing the cloak. He came up to her, took off the ring she had given him from his finger, and threw the ring into the wine glass with a jingle. "That is my ring," she cried, "and here is the man who is going to free me." They searched the palace and found him, but he went outside, mounted his horse, and threw off his cloak. When they came to the door at last and found him, they cried out with joy. He jumped off his horse and took the king's daughter in his arms, and she kissed him and said, "You have rescued me at last, and we will be married tomorrow."
