The family wanted to pay her back for her kindness so they invited her to stay for dinner. They let her take a bath and the mother cleaned and fixed her dress while the daughter made dinner. Of course, when they got home was when she got to meet their very handsome son. He had stayed home to look after the cows while his family went to the market.
Well, the princess was very taken with the son and they sat by the fire and talked while she waited for dinner to be cooked and for her dress to be finished. She ended up staying there talking with him for hours. They talked through dinner, even after her dress was done, the two were still talking. And before long, the princess noticed that the sun was starting to come up. She was so impressed with the handsome young man that she hadn't even noticed they'd been talking all night.
Even though the princess really didn't want to go, she knew that she had to. She had to go back to the palace and let her parents know that she was okay. That she hadn't been hurt or kidnapped. And she wanted to tell her mother about the kind family and the amazing young man that had managed to steal her heart in only a matter of hours.
