Summary

The son of a poor man becomes a hero in the king's army and given great status as reward. He falls in love with the king's daughter and readily agrees to her marriage terms: to be buried together regardless of who perishes first.

When the time comes, true to his word, the young man is entombed with the princess. Inside the crypt he discovers magic snake-leaves which he uses to revive his wife. He then gives the leaves to a trusted servant for safe-keeping, just in case. This proves to have been a wise decision after his wife has a change of heart and has him thrown overboard.

Upon learning of his daughter's duplicity, the king punishes her and her accomplice with their just desserts.
