IRON HANS
But when he was riding off with it, the king’s attendants pursued him, and one of them got so near him that he wounded the youth’s leg with the point of his sword.
The youth nevertheless escaped from them, but his horse leapt so violently that the helmet fell from the youth’s head, and they could see that he had golden hair.
They rode back and announced this to the king.
The following day the king’s daughter asked the gardener about his boy.
‘He is at work in the garden; the queer creature has been at the festival too, and only came home yesterday evening; he has likewise shown my children three golden apples which he has won.’
The king had him summoned into his presence, and he came and again had his little cap on his head.
But the king’s daughter went up to him and took it off, and then his golden hair fell down over his shoulders, and he was so handsome that all were amazed.
‘Are you the knight who came every day to the festival, always in different colours, and who caught the three golden apples?’ asked the king.
‘Yes,’ answered he, ‘and here the apples are,’ and he took them out of his pocket, and returned them to the king.
‘If you desire further proof, you may see the wound which your people gave me when they followed me.
But I am likewise the knight who helped you to your victory over your enemies.’
