ugly infant part 11 conclusion

ugly infant 11

until now ugly ricky, who had been blessed with wisdom, discussed Allah with the woman he wished to marry. now she was getting cold feet so she walked in the forest and saw preparations for a meal

:

Prettib was surprised at what she saw, many people cooking and singing as they worked so she asked them, "What are you cooking for?" but they were too busy bringing food and ingredients and also tasting. so she asked those holding musical instruments and they explained that Prince Riqy's wedding is today in the evening

Suddenly she realized that this day was the date she had promised to marry Prince Ricky. 

Princess Prettib did not remember that she had been a fool before that day on which the prince had given wit and sense yet forgot that she was stupid.
She walked away but saw Riqy she saw he "appeared brave and beautiful. He was dressed as a "prince who is getting married"-

ricky's smile grew when she saw she had come to the wedding in the forest and had kept her word. "I came to keep my word" he explained, "and I do not doubt that you came here to do as you said. you will make me the happiest of all men"

She said that she regretted her decision, she looked at ugly ricky and continued i cannot marry you as you are and despite your desire.

At that moment the commitment to marry riqy was broken and the magic was transferred back for ricky to grant to the one he would marry. 

Ricky saw she was very pretty and wanted to marry her so he tried to convince her to keep her word saying, "You astonish me, madam"

princess prettib tried to explain herself, "if I had to deal with a simple man i would feel embarrassed to break my word and he would say to me that every true cultured princess is honest so you must marry me, as promised, yet you have sense to here my reason.

despite ricky's magical wisdom he could not comprehend her excuse for surely there is no difference all expect this? only a fool would speak this way yet he expected her to have a good explanation so he asked why she thought he would be different than the simple man.

prettib tried to explain that because he was ugly he would not marry him and that was final. rick was shocked that she broke her commitment yet comforted a bit that he would not marry someone who was not honest and not straight.

so the prince felt bad to waste all the preparations and hurried to ask her sister who had been known to be wise and maybe she would agree to marry him. this princess was delighted at the idea for she felt ignored and she also knew that marrying a smart man was important even if he was ugly and she agreed and this princess and her parents hurried to the forest party and celebrated the wedding! the happy ending!

note: the french original of "riquet with the tuft" has a different ending but i have adapted the story.
