The story of Iron John contd. Chapter 3.

Then the king s son left the forest, and walked by beaten and unbeaten paths ever onwards until at last he reached a great city. There he looked for work, but could find none, and he had learned nothing by which he could help himself. At length he went to the palace, and asked if they would take him in. The people about court did not know what use they could make of him, but theyliked him and told him to stay. At length took him into his service, and said he might carry wood and water, and rake the cinders together.

Chapter 4.

Once when it happened that no one else was at hand, the cook ordered the boy to carry food to the royal table, but because the boy did not want his golden hair to be seen, he kept his tarboosh on. Such a thing as that had never happened in the king s presence and he said "When you come to the royal table you must take your tarboosh off." He answered: "Ah Lord, I cannot, I have a sore place in my head". The king called the cook up. scolded him, and demanded how he could have taken such a boy as that into his service, and told him to fire the boy, and get him out of his castle.
