Sweetest Things in the World

A father one day asked his daughters, “What is the sweetest thing in the world?” “Sugar!” said the elder daughter. “Salt” said his younger daughter. Her father thought that she was making fun of him, but she stuck to her opinion. The father was obstinate, and so was his daughter. A quarrel broke out between them over this small matter, and he drove her out of the house, saying, “As you think that salt is sweeter than sugar, you better find another home the cooking is more to your taste.”

It was a beautiful summer night, and as the pretty maiden sat singing sadly in the forest around her father’s cottage, a young prince, who had lost his way while hunting the deer, heard her voice, and went up to her to ask her the way. Then struck by her beauty, he fell in love with her, took her home to his beautiful palace and married her.

The bride invited her father to the wedding feast, without telling him that she was his daughter, All the dishes were prepared without salt, and the guests began to complain as they ate the tasteless food. “There is no salt in the food!”, they said angrily.

“Ah,” said the bride’s father. “Salt is truly the sweetest thing in the world! But when my daughter said so, I turned her out of my house. If only I could see her again and tell her sorry I am!”

Drawing the bridal veil aside from her face, the happy girl went to her father and asked for his blessings. New properly salted dishes were brought in and all the guests were satisfied.
