The eldest daughter replied, “Father, I love you more than all the diamonds and the rubies of this world.” The King became very proud and happy listening to this.

The second daughter replied,” Dear Father, I love you as much as all the precious gold and silver in the world and more.”

Now it was the youngest daughter’s turn. She said, “ Dear Father, I love you as much as all the salt in the world and more.”

He ordered the princess to leave the kingdom and never come back to the palace. The youngest princess hid in the woods. She started crying after being tired. 

A prince was passing nearby who heard her. He fell in love with the princess at first sight. He took her to his castle and asked her to marry him.
