THE SWINEHERD.
“Ask him,” said the princess, “if he will be satisfied with ten kisses from one of my ladies.”
“No, thank you,” said the swineherd: “ten kisses from the princess, or I will keep my pot.”
“That is tiresome,” said the princess. “But you must stand before me, so that nobody can see it.”
The ladies placed themselves in front of her and spread out their dresses, and she gave the swineherd ten kisses and received the pot.

Good grief! What was in that pot?
I was going to call the post “Ten Kisses for Pot,” but I decided against it.

Love the expression on the ladies’ faces.
She looks a bit surprised!
