Once upon a time there was a king, who had a wife with golden hair, and she was so beautiful that her equal was not to be found anywhere on earth.

It happened that she fell ill, and when she felt that she was about to die, she called the king to her and said,

"If you want to remarry after my death then do not take anyone who is not as beautiful as I am, and who does not have such golden hair as mine. That you must promise me."

After the king had promised her this, she closed her eyes and died.

For a long time the king could not be comforted, and he did not consider taking a second wife. Finally his councilors said,

"There is no other way. The king must remarry, so that we will have a queen."

Then messengers were sent out far and wide to seek a bride, who in beauty was entirely the equal of the deceased queen. However, no such bride could be found in the whole world.

And even if a bride this beautiful had been found, she would not have had such golden hair. Thus the messengers returned home without success.
