The Necessity of Salt Once upon a time there was a king who had three daughters. Because they were good and beautiful, he loved them all sincerely. He did not know which one he should choose as queen. As his birthday approached, he summoned his daughters and said to them, "My dear children, I love all three of you sincerely, and for a long time have not known which one of you I should name to be the heir to my throne. But I have now decided that one of you shall become the queen who brings to me a birthday present that is most necessary in human life. Go and make your plans accordingly and diligently." On the old king's birthday, the two oldest daughters brought him presents that were very necessary, and at the same time extremely expensive. However, the youngest daughter brought him nothing but little pile of salt in a decorated container. When the king saw her present, he became very angry. He drove his youngest daughter out of the castle, forbidding her ever again to let herself be seen by him. With deep sorrow the rejected daughter went out into the unknown world, comforted only by her faith in her own good sense: After walking for a good while she came to an inn. There she met a female innkeeper who thoroughly understood cooking. There, the king's daughter learned how to cook from her and soon she could cook even better than the innkeeper in the art of cooking. News of the excellent cook in this inn spread fast, and everyone who came this way and who still had a few money left in his pocket stopped to be served a roast or something even more elegant. The king heard of the cook's reputation. He hired her as •a court cook. Now it came to pass that the oldest princess was getting married, and the new-hired cook was assigned the preparation of the wedding feast. Thus on the wedding day, one elegant dish after the other was served until the table almost cracked. Everything was excellently prepared, and everyone praised the cook. Finally, the king's favorite dish arrived. Quickly taking a spoon he tasted it. "This has not been salted!" he cried out angrily. "Have the cook brought before me!" They quickly ran for the cook, who entered the hall undaunted. "Why did you forget to salt my favorite dish, you careless girl?" snapped the king at her. The cook answered, "You drove away your youngest daughter because she thought that salt was so necessary. Perhaps you can now see that your child was not so wrong." When the king heard these words he recognized his daughter, begged her for forgiveness, asked her to be seated at his side, and accepted her once again as his dear child. Then the wedding became doubly joyful. The king lived happily with his children for many years thereafter. 38. The text is about ... A. A princess who wanted to celebrate her birthday. B.
