The valiant little tailorC15

One night the young queen heard her husband talking in his sleep and saying, "Now boy, make me that waistcoat and patch me those breeches, or I will lay my yard measure about your shoulders!" And so, as she perceived of what low birth her husband was, she went to her father the next morning and told him all, and begged him to set her free from a man who was nothing better than a tailor. The king bade her be comforted, saying, "To-night leave your bedroom door open, my guard shall stand outside, and when he is asleep they shall come in and bind him and carry him off to a ship, and he shall be sent to the other side of the world." So the wife felt consoled, but the king's water-bearer, who had been listening all the while, went to the little tailor and disclosed to him the whole plan. "I shall put a stop to all this," said he.

不久，年轻的王后在一天夜里听见丈夫说梦话。 小裁缝在梦中大声地嚷嚷着："徒弟，快点儿把这件背心缝好，再把这条裤子补一补，不然我就让你的脑袋尝尝尺子的厉害。"这样一来，她便弄清了她的君主和丈夫是什么出身。 第二天一早就对父亲大发牢骚，抱怨国王给她选择的丈夫只不过是一个下贱的裁缝。
国王安慰她说："今天晚上，你打开化妆室的门，我派侍从守在外边，等他睡着了，我的侍从就悄悄地进去把他捆起来，然后放到一艘船上，把他送到天涯海角。"
当了国王的小裁缝有个男仆，听见了老国王说的话，就把这个阴谋禀报了主子。
