Before dawn (黎明), 12 very tired girls in worn-out slippers (破拖鞋) went back to bed. Tramper hurried in front of them and lay down on the sofa. There the King found him, circled by worn-out slippers, sound asleep.

“Well?” the King asked. You might think that Tramper told the King about what he had seen, but no. He had enjoyed the salmon (三文鱼) so much that he was hoping for a second supper.

“Two more tries,” said the King. “That’s all!”

The next night, the princesses brought Tramper turkey and a cup of tea for his supper. He ate up the turkey but drank no tea. Instead, he gave the palace parrot his tea and it fell off its sleeping place, sound asleep.

The princesses and Tramper fell asleep, too—or so it seemed. Later that night … the distant sound of silvery music began. The 12 princesses jumped out of bed, into the wardrobe (衣柜), and ran across the garden of ruby roses, through the orchard (果园) of diamond fruit and up the glass steps into the castle. Tramper followed them with the magic scarf over his head.

Again the elves (精灵小矮人) were waiting. Again the princesses danced and danced until their slippers were worn out. Before dawn, the tired princesses made their way home. Tramper hurried ahead of them and lay down on the sofa.

There the King found him, circled by worn-out slippers, sound asleep. “Well?” You might think that Tramper told the King about what he had seen, but no. He had enjoyed the turkey so much that he was hoping for a third supper.

“One more night,” said the King, “… and what’s wrong with the parrot?”
