The stranger was escorted to the princess' bedchamber and stood before her. The princess was resting in her bed, covered with warm clothes. The man explained why he was there and that she would probably soon be his wife. Even though the princess wanted to be cured she didn't want to marry a dark, filthy, cruel man.
"Have you ever felt warm?" asked the stranger mischievously.
The princess found the stranger rather disrespectful. She answered with an immediate "no."
The stranger then asked how cold she felt.
She replied by saying colder than a frozen ocean sea. He stood and thought for a moment then he rushed out of the room. The princess was relieved because she had finally got rid of the man. Before she could even say a single 'few' the man came back in the room. Held tight in his hands was nothing but some kind of ocean blanket.
How mysterious, thought the princess, an ocean blanket?
The man threw the blanket on the princess and asked how she felt. Sharks, squids, jellyfish and more scary sea creatures were swimming in mucky blue and green water. The princess was lying down in the blanket for a while then answered "I feel sick!"
