I. Read the story King Grisly-Beard by Brothers Grimm.

A great king of a land far away in the East had a daughter who was very beautiful, but so
proud and haughty*, that none of the princes who came to ask for her hand in marriage was
good enough for her. All she ever did was make fun of them.

Once upon a time the king held a great feast and invited all her suitors*. They all sat in a
row, ranged according to their rank -- kings and princes and dukes and earls* and barons
and knights. When the princess came in, as she passed by them, she had something spiteful*
to say to each one.

The first was too fat: 'He's as round as a tub,' she said.
The next was too tall: 'What a monument!' she said.
The next was too short: 'What a dumpling*!' she said.
The fourth was too pale, and she called him 'Wallface.'

But she laughed most of all at a good king who was there. 'Look at him,' she said; 'his
beard is like an old mop; he shall be called Grisly*-beard.' So the king got the nickname of
Grisly-beard.

But the old king was very angry when he saw how his daughter behaved and how badly
she treated all his guests. He vowed* that she would marry the first man that came to the
door.
