Time ago there was a kingdom led by a queen. He had a daughter who is very charming. Let us refer to daughter Anne. As a princess, daughter of Anne's childhood was ditunangkan with a prince from the neighboring kingdom, Prince Henry. When it was time they should get married, the whole kingdom was busy preparing for the departure of daughter Anne. Because travel to the kingdom of Prince Henry's quite a distance, the queen prepares supplies sufficient for only daughter wayangnya. Do not miss the luxury items such as vases and trinkets made of gold and silver, crystal glasses and jewelry to be taken as a symbol of greatness.

Queen Aline choose a trusted servant who will keep and care for Anne's daughter during the trip and delivered it safely. Queen also chose the best horses for a riding princess Anne. Falada, the queen's favorite horse, not a horse at random. He's very loyal and can speak, that is why the queen chose to bring the princess. Arrive at departure. Queen Anne's daughter called to face. He took out a small knife and slicing his finger. Then three drops of blood dripping into a white handkerchief and gave it to her daughter.
"My son!" the queen said, "keep this handkerchief carefully, not to be lost or scattered. This will take care of you during the trip."

So sad gaze accompanied by the queen, the daughter of Anne and the maid Aline, went to the royal prince Henry.
After walking for a while, the daughter of Anne began to feel thirsty, so he called Aline.
"Aline! Fill the glass my gold with river water. I feel thirsty," said daughter Anne.
"If you're thirsty," said Aline, "come down from your horse and grab yourself minummu. I do not want to be a servant"
So the princess Anne, dismounted and bent over the edge of the river to drink, because he was not allowed to drink in gold glass. "Oh God," he complained. And the three drops of blood of the queen answered their complaint:

"If the Queen knew,
he would not hurt. "

But daughter Anne remain patient. He did not say anything and just patted Falada to continue the journey. They had walked a few miles away when the princess Anne back thirsty. It was pretty hot weather. So when passing through a river, the daughter of Anne again said to Aline:
"Aline! Fill the glass my gold with river water. I feel thirsty," said daughter Anne.
But Aline still responded sarcastically: "If you're thirsty," said Aline, "come down from your horse and grab yourself minummu. I do not want to be a servant"
So the princess Anne back down from his horse, bent down by the river to drink, because he was not allowed to drink in gold glass. "Oh God," he complained. And the three drops of blood of the queen answered their complaint:

"If the Queen knew,
he would not hurt. "

When he was bending, handkerchief containing three drops of blood fell into the river queen and wander without realizing it. This is seen by Aline. Aline know without a handkerchief was Anne's daughter does not have the strength anymore. Arising malice in his heart to rule over the princess Anne.

So when Anne was about to climb Falada daughter, Aline confronting and said:
"I'm more suited to ride Falada, give him to me. And you can use my horse."
The servant of evil daughter Anne was forced to exchange clothes with the clothes he was wearing his kingdom and threatened to kill the princess Anne if she says this incident in Prince Henry.

They went on, until finally arrived at the royal prince Henry. They were greeted with rousing. Prince Henry immediately came over to Aline that she thought was her fiance, and took him into the palace. Meanwhile, Anne's daughter stuck outside the palace. By chance the king was looking out the window and saw a girl standing outside the palace. The king saw that the girl is very graceful and beautiful even though she wore a dress look old.
"Who's that girl?" asked the king.
"Oh, I met her on the street and I invited him to accompany me. If his excellency is pleased, give him a job," said Aline.
King did not know what a suitable job for her daughter as beautiful as Anne, the king said:
"Maybe he can help Conrad to mengembalakan duck."

Although Aline satisfied because it could alienate the views of Prince Henry's daughter Anne, but she still feared the secret will be revealed to remember Falada, saddler's daughter Anne was able to speak and to divulge the secret. He find a way to get rid of the horse. He told the prince:
"The Prince, can I ask for help you?"
"With pleasure," replied the prince.
"Slay tungganganku horse, because when he has hurt me the way here," he said.

Prince then ordered an executioner to behead Falada to that poor dead horse. Falada obituaries until well into the ear's daughter Anne, who immediately went to the executioner and begged him:
"O hangman, allow me to exchange Falada head with a handful of gold."
"Well," replied the executioner. "What should I do with this horse's head?"
"Gantungkanlah at the gate of the palace, so that I can think of them every time I passed it," pleaded the daughter. Executioner agree and implement the request princess Anne.



Every morning when she and Conrad through the gates while herding the ducks he would say to head Falada: "Hello Falada!"
And the head Falada will answer:
"Hello princess, how pale you are. If the Queen knew, her heart would be hurt."

Every day of Princess Anne and Conrad herding ducks in the villages around the kingdom. When the ducks looking for food, daughter Anne unwind. He will release his long hair bonding and shining. So beautiful to the point that Conrad wanted to hold it. Whisper daughter Anne to the wind:

O wind blow breezy

Suddenly the wind that flew Conrad hat so she had to run after him. And when returning, daughter Anne had finished binding her hair. Conrad was disappointed because he could not hold the hair daughter Anne, the day that he did not want him to speak. And when evening came, they herded the ducks return to the palace. It lasted for days, until one day, Conrad could not bear it and complained to the king:
"I do not take it anymore herding ducks with the girl," he said.
"But why?" asked the king.
"Oh because he's pissing me off all day," said Conrad.
"What makes you annoyed?" asked the king.
"In the morning when we passed the gate, which depends on the head of a horse, he would greet her and the horse will respond:
"Hello princess, how pale you are. If the Queen knew, her heart would be hurt."

Then Conrad tells how daughter Anne whispered to the wind and the wind will obey his request. The king ordered Conrad to keep herding ducks with daughter Anne, while the king would investigate the truth of the story.

So the next morning the king was standing behind the gate waiting daughters Anne Conrad and passed. King heard how Anne's daughter greet Falada head and the horse's head to answer. King also saw his own daughter Anne whispers in the wind and the wind makes Conrad ran here and there the wind chasing his hat.
In the afternoon the king's daughter called Anne and asked her why she does that.
"I will not tell anyone, because I have sworn and perhaps my soul will be threatened," said daughter Anne.
Princess Anne continues to resist the king had forced him to tell though. Then the king said:
"Well, if you do not want to tell me. You can tell on the wall there, then you do not violate your oath and burdens will be reduced." Then the king left his own daughter Anne. But secretly the king went to the back wall.



Princess Anne then issue a sick heart to the wall, he said:
"In this strange place I was shipwrecked, but once I was the king's daughter, and maid robs crown, also my fiance. While I have to herding ducks all day. Oh, if my mother knew, her heart would be hurt."
King out of hiding and brought daughter Anne to the palace. The king sent some servants to dress the princess Anne to look very charming. Then the king sent the prince Henry and tells the incident.

At night, the king invited a few guests, the daughter of Aline and daughter Anne false for dinner. Princess Anne was sitting right next to Prince Henry, while Aline on her left side. But Aline did not notice the existence of daughter Anne. After eating and drinking, the king of the beta to Aline what the penalty for someone who betrayed and captured the right employer.
