Once upon a time, there was a king who had seven daughters. Among them, the youngest daughter was dearly loved by her father. One day, the king called all seven daughters and asked, "Dear daughters, tell me honestly, by whose fortune do you live and eat?" The six daughters replied, "Father, we live and eat by your fortune." When the youngest princess was asked, she said, "I live and eat by my own fortune!" The king was filled with great sorrow. He thought to himself that he would marry the six daughters into royal families, but he would immediately marry the youngest daughter into a poor household! With this thought, the king married the six daughters into royal families and gave the youngest daughter to a poor man. All the daughters went to their respective in-laws and began to live happily.

The youngest daughter married a poor man. He would gather some grains from here and there every day so that they could light the stove at home and somehow manage to have food. One day, the poor man came home ringing two yellow stones. His wife saw the stones and asked, "Where did you get these stones? They look like gold pieces!" The poor man replied, "I found these pieces with a saint. The saint told me to take them home!" Hearing this, the poor man's wife said, "Go, bring four or five more pieces like this!"

The poor man brought several such pieces and gave them to his wife. She sold all those gold pieces and built a magnificent palace right there. When the palace was completed, she held a grand feast and invited all the great kings and emperors. She prepared a variety of dishes and seated all the kings at the same table. Among them sat her own father. The servants were serving the food, but the youngest daughter kept going around, serving her father with her own hands.

The king began to wonder who this princess was. He couldn't find out why the princess kept coming to serve him. He asked the princess, "Dear princess! Won't you meet your king? I would like to know where this king is from, and which great king this is!" The princess replied, "Father, don't you know me? I am your youngest daughter, and this poor man is your son-in-law, the king!" The king realized that he was indeed the same poor man. However, now he looked like a very handsome prince! The king felt immense joy. He said, "Dear daughter! You were right when you said everyone lives by their own fortune." He regretted his earlier mistake, and he took his daughter and son-in-law to introduce them to everyone in his palace with great respect. Then they all began to live happily together.
