The Belgian version of the Hungarian story.
1. Once upon a time, in a country far far away, there was a water king. He lived in a magnificent castle.
The castle was decorated with flowers, you had to open the door with a wonderful shell … It was a beauty!
The bird whistled its song each day and the king enjoyed it thoroughly over and over again.
2. One day the king went for a swim in the pond.He did that more than once …
While he was standing in the water, he saw the sun king. He made sure the sun shined beautifully!
The water king greeted him by waving at him.
3. That the sun king actually was jealous of him already for a very long time, was what the water king didn’t know.
Therefore he came up with a ruse: the water king didn’t know it, but the sun king had taken away his power during the swimming party.
The sun king now ruled the water palace. He sat on the throne, talked to the water princesses and he even had the intention of
marrying one of them!
4. But … for this the sun king was punished after a while. He became ill and no matter what doctor stopped by: no one could cure him!
5. Eventually the sun king died of an excruciating bellyache. He was buried in the pond where the water king had swum.
Happily fairy tales always have a good end, because here too the fairy came along at thatmoment …
Using a magic spell the fairy saved the sun king from death.
All is well that ends well!!

Swedish version - The Princess and the Peasant
I saw a castle behind the forest. I tried to get up with the help of a stick. Meanwhile, in the castle a marriage proposal was happening. A prince from the Thousand Islands is trying to get the princess's heart. But she said no. But the king forces her to marry him for he is a prince. But suddenly someone knocks on the door. The princess opens and there a peasant stands.
Who is it? shouts the king from the living room.
- A farmer ! He seems damaged, cried the princess from the door.
The farmer tells the whole story. Then he borrowed a horse and some clothes and rode home .
¬ The princess was nervous before her wedding next week. She dreamed that she flew off to Dreamland.
The next morning the princess tried out a lot of bridal gowns. The peasant came the next day to return the horse he had borrowed. The princess and the farmer fell in love, but they could not be together.
The princess sneaked out at night with the peasant. One day when the king saw it his first thought was immediately to behead the peasant.
When the farmer was to be beheaded the princess came and said:
- Nooooo !
The king stopped it. Later it turned out that the prince just wanted all the riches and the kingdom for himself, so then he was beheaded. Instead the peasant and the princess were married and lived happily ever after.

The Hungarian tale – The magic stick
There was an old king and his three sons. The boys agreed to travel abroad, but they all wanted to go to different directions. The oldest said he wanted to go to the west where he can find golden trees to pick golden leaves. The middle said he wanted to go to the north to bring precious stones. The youngest said he didn’t want any treasure, he goes to the sea to learn.
The youngest took a ship to travel on the sea but the crew was close to die when they got to an island. The prince went to the island and fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw a fairy who took him to her mother. She gave him a magic cloth with roses and ordered the cloth to give food and drink. So everybody on the ship had enough to eat and the young prince fell in love with the fairy.
On the next island the young prince was eating when an old lady asked him to give her some food. He wasn’t jealous, he asked her to sit down to eat. She immediately turned into a fairy and gave him a gown. Where he shakes the gown there will be a garden, a lake and a castle.
The next time he met an old man who gave him a magic stick from which soldiers come out when he wants.The prince now decided to go back to his father but in his way home he picked up the fairy from the first island.
As the prince was heading to his home, he saw his father running to the seaside shouting that his empire is gone, the enemy took it.
But the prince took his magic stick and let the soldiers out, they destroyed the enemy. Then the prince took the gown and created a garden, a lake and a beautiful castle.
The old king was very happy and admitted that his youngest son brought the most expensive treasure. The others took him golden leaves and precious stones but they were all useless in the war. The little prince saved the country and the king was delighted. They asked for the priest and had a 7-days long wedding and the prince and the fairy lived happily ever after.
