And the minister and King himself went in search of that beggar and it was not so difficult for them to find where she lived, Minister went towards that beggar and ordered that she should meet the King not asking her opinion they dragged her and made her stand in front of the King. King came towards her not saying another word he called his servants and told them to take her and make ready like a Queen. the servants after few while made her dressed like a Queen, and the King went towards her and said he loves her and she should marry him, to that the beggar lady said “My lord whom did you Loved? the women in this Queen dress or the beggar women you saw yesterday”.
