​**__Katie Wooden Cloak By Peter Christian Asbojornsen and Jorgan Moe__**

=== Once on a time there was a king who had become a widow. He decided to remarry. His wife was not very nice to his daughter. The stepmother starved and beat Cinderella and made her do all the household work. One day when she was told to go herd the bulls she came out crying one bull asked why she was crying. She told him why and he said take the cloth off of my left ear and you can have all the food you want. The princess did this and the stepmother saw. She ordered the bull to be killed. The princess and the bull ran away. After they had traveled for a long time they approached a copper forest. The bull told the princess that she was not to touch anything for if she did he would have to fight a bull with 3 heads at the end of the forest. She walked very carefully but accidentally pulled of a leaf and the troll approached declaring a fight. The bull won the fight but was cut so they waited overnight to start their journey back up. After some time they approached a silver forest. The bull told her to be careful for if she touched anything the bull would have to fight a troll with 6 heads. She walked very carefully but eventually pulled of a leaf. The troll came up and declared a fight. After a day of fighting the bull won. He was hurt though and told the princess to take ointment from the troll and rub it on him. The princess did that and after 3 days they continued their journey. They walked some more and they reached the last forest, the gold forest. The bull said not to touch anything for if she did he would have to fight a troll with 9 heads. The same thing happened as did the other 2 forests; she pulled an apple of the tree. Then the troll came up and declared a fight they fought hard and finally after 3 days of fighting the bull won. He had the princess put the ointment on him and they continued their journey after a week. They finally approached a castle and the bull told the princess go take this wooden cloak and put it on. After you do this ask the people of the castle if you can have a place to stay. Tell them your name is Katie wooden cloak. Then after you do that take a knife and cut my head off. Take my hide and wrap it around the copper and silver leaves and the golden apple and if you ever need anything take a stick and bang it against the wall. Katie did as the bull said. The next day she asked if she could go to church they let her go. Before Katie went to church she banged the stick against the wall asking for something to wear and she got a dress made of copper. The next week the same thing happened only this time she got a sliver dress. Finally on the third week she got a golden dress and steed. When she went to church the prince saw her and she ran off. But not before she dropped her slipper. The prince sent a search for the girl whose shoe fit the slipper. Katie stepsister fit the shoe and on the day of their wedding a bird said to the prince Katie’s shoe is full of blood, and sure enough their was blood in the shoe. The prince made Katie try on the shoe and it fit and he married her. Snip snip snover, this story’s over! ===
