00:00The Goose Girl
00:07Once upon a time, a queen and her daughter were living together in the most beautiful castle in the country.
00:18The princess had a fairy she loved very much.
00:22This fairy always protected her.
00:25One day, when the princess reached the age of marriage, she decided to set out to meet the prince of another country.
00:38The queen gave her daughter a box of jewels to take with her.
00:47If anyone realizes that you are a princess on the way, bad things can happen to you, my dear daughter.
00:55So, you will be accompanied by my assistant, rather than a soldier.
01:00The good fairy also had gifts for the princess.
01:04She gave her a talking horse named Falada.
01:08Hey, I'm happy to hit the road, my princess.
01:12There is one more thing I want to give you, my princess.
01:17The fairy gave the princess a handkerchief.
01:22This is a magical handkerchief for my princess.
01:25Keep it always with you, and use it when you need it.
01:29The princess said goodbye and got on Falada, and her assistant was on a donkey.
01:35Hours later, the princess, walking along the forest road, was very tired, and stopped to get some rest.
01:46Oh, I'm so thirsty.
01:49We have water with us.
01:50Could you please give me some?
01:52The assistant girl drank from the water.
01:56Sorry, princess, but I was so thirsty, too.
01:59So, I drank it all.
02:00Find yourself another water.
02:01I'm not your servant.
02:03The princess was surprised at the servant's lack of respect, but she didn't say anything.
02:09They continued on the road.
02:12After some time passed, the princess stopped.
02:17Royal assistant, could you please get me some water from the fountain, please?
02:22Sorry, princess, but I'm not your maid.
02:24I told you.
02:25You can get off your horse and get your own water.
02:28The princess and Falada made eye contact.
02:34You know, I'm starting to have second thoughts about this assistant girl.
02:38You'd better be careful around her.
02:41The princess got off her horse, and she got down and drank some water with her palm.
02:47The magic handkerchief in her pocket suddenly started talking.
02:52Be careful, my princess.
02:54This assistant girl is dangerous.
02:56But as the princess bowed down to drink, her magic handkerchief fell into the water.
03:05Oh, no!
03:08Seeing the magic handkerchief flowing in the water, the assistant girl saw her opportunity.
03:13You have no more power left.
03:19From now on, I am giving all the orders.
03:24You will do exactly what I say.
03:28Now, take off the princess clothes and give them to me.
03:34If you tell anyone the truth, I'll get you jailed.
03:41The assistant girl did not only wear the princess's clothes,
03:46she also got on her horse, Falada, and started to move forward.
03:52The real princess, on the other hand, got on the donkey and slowly followed.
03:59After a while, they both arrived at the prince's palace.
04:03When the prince welcomed them, he thought the assistant girl was a princess and invited her in.
04:09But he also noticed the servant girl, who was actually the real princess.
04:13Well, my prince, she's just a servant.
04:18She doesn't need to come inside the palace with us.
04:22It would be best if you gave her a job and remind her of her place as my servant.
04:28So the prince did so and introduced her to a boy named Comrade,
04:32who was the keeper of the geese.
04:35By helping Comrade, you can be a goose shepherd too.
04:39My prince, I have one more request from you.
04:43Could you tie up this grumpy horse?
04:45Better yet, lock him in chains.
04:47He almost threw me off on the way here.
04:50So the prince summoned an assistant and ordered him to chain the horse to a barn.
04:55The assistant girl was trying to make sure her deception stayed a secret and fooled the prince.
05:03The real princess was sad and wept that her horse, Falada, had been chained up.
05:09She immediately went to the barn to see him.
05:12Poor Falada was just standing there in chains.
05:17Oh, Falada, what have they done to you?
05:21If your queen mother had heard what had happened, she would be very upset, my princess.
05:28Sadly, the princess left her horse, Falada, and started herding geese in the meadow with Conrad.
05:34After a while, she sat down on a stone to rest and unfastened the gold hair clips that held her beautiful hair.
05:47When Conrad saw these shiny hair clips, he immediately approached the princess's hair and wanted to take them.
05:57Golden hair clips? I want these golden hair clips.
06:02Ah, leave my hair alone.
06:04Blow, crazy wind. Blow fast and straight.
06:08Take Conrad's hat and take it away.
06:12At that moment, such a crazy wind blew that Conrad's hat flew off his head.
06:20After pursuing the hat flying up the mountains, Conrad finally caught his hat.
06:28The princess, who had retied her hair, hid her golden hair clips.
06:37After herding the geese together until sunset, Conrad and the princess finally returned to the palace.
06:44Conrad was immediately before the king.
06:50I don't want to work with the stranger you've given me.
06:54Why, Conrad?
06:55She's crazy. She talks to her horse and is blowing off my hat and making fun of me.
07:01She doesn't work at all.
07:02After these words, doubts fell into the mind of the king.
07:07The next day, the king followed the princess in secret.
07:11The princess first went to the barn and talked to her chained horse, Falata, again.
07:20Seeing the horse talking, the king could not believe his eyes.
07:24He then went to the meadow where Conrad and the princess were herding the geese.
07:29And he hid behind the bush.
07:34After a while, he noticed the golden hair clips in the princess's hair.
07:44Blow, crazy wind! Blow right away!
07:47Take Conrad's hat and take it away!
07:51After these words of the princess, a very crazy wind started to blow.
07:56And the hat flew again!
07:59Conrad ran after his hat up to the mountains.
08:05Meanwhile, the princess hid her golden hair clips again in her hair.
08:12Seeing this, the king was very surprised and secretly returned to the palace immediately.
08:20In the evening, the king summoned the princess to his presence.
08:25He asked her about her talking horse, Falata.
08:28Golden hair clips and the wild wind.
08:33At that moment, the princess started to cry.
08:39I cannot tell you, your highness.
08:41If I did, I would go to jail.
08:44Don't be afraid to tell the truth, young girl.
08:48Tell me.
08:48The princess told the king everything, one by one, starting from the very beginning.
08:57So, you are the real princess.
09:01Don't worry.
09:02No harm will come to you.
09:04Now go and get ready like a princess.
09:07The king immediately summoned his son, the prince, and told him everything.
09:14That same evening, without saying anything to the fake princess, the prince arranged a feast at the palace.
09:23The real princess was sitting on one side of the prince, and the fake one on the other.
09:31The beauty of the real princess was dazzling.
09:35But the fake princess did not recognize her.
09:41Who is this girl?
09:42What is she doing at the feast?
09:45Where did she find those shiny jewelry?
09:47That beautiful dress!
09:49Oh, palace nobles, I have a story for you.
09:54Listen to me now.
09:56The king started telling what happened to the princess, as if it was someone else's story.
10:03In the end, he asked everyone how someone who deceives people with lying should be punished.
10:12The heaviest punishment must be given to that liar, my king.
10:16Her feet must be chained, and she must be imprisoned forever.
10:21Is that so?
10:23But it is you who are the liar in this story.
10:28You have given yourself your own punishment.
10:31Soldiers, take this liar out of my presence now.
10:37The assistant girl thus suffered the punishment for ruining the princess's life by lying.
10:46The prince proposed to the real princess that night.
10:58Then, the princess and the prince went to the barn and rescued the talking horse, Falada.
11:05The truth finally came out, my princess.
11:08If your queen mother saw this moment, she would cry with happiness.
11:12The princess and the prince have started a new life, in which they are very happy now.
11:19And the princess's good-hearted fairy was always with them, protecting them from all evil forever.
