as a midge here who can do you any harm！' and with that he
gave Minnikin such a blow that he rolled over on the grass。
‘Shame on you to strike me！' said Minnikin。 ‘First have I won
one Princess and half the kingdom； and then the other Princess
and the other half of the kingdom； and now； when I was just thinking
that I would give you one of the Princesses and one of the
halves of the kingdom； do you think you have any reason to give
me such a blow？'
When King Pippin heard that he begged his brother's pardon；
and they were reconciled at once and became good friends。
‘Now； as you know；' said Minnikin； ‘we are so like each other
that no one can tell one of us from the other； so just change clothes
with me and go up to the palace； and then the Princesses will think
that I am coming in； and the one who kisses you first shall be
yours； and I will have the other。' For he knew that the elder
Princess was the stronger； so he could very well guess how things
would go。
King Pippin at once agreed to this。 He changed clothes with
his brother； and went into the palace。 When he entered the
Princess's apartments they believed that he was Minnikin； and
both of them ran up to him at once； but the elder； who was bigger
and stronger； pushed her sister aside； and threw her arms round
King Pippin's neck and kissed him； so he got her to wife； and
Minnikin the younger sister。 It will be easy to understand that
two weddings took place； and they were so magnificent that they
were heard of and talked about all over seven kingdoms。＇27＇
