A poor merchant had to sell his pearl necklace. But when he went out to sell it, he was arrested and taken to the king. The soldiers said that he had stolen princesses necklace! The merchant's wife heard about her husband's arrest and ran to the palace. "He hasn't stolen anything" she said "that was my necklace!". She was called before the court where the princess also sat near the king and queen. "How do you know it is yours?" asked the king. "Your Highness, please tell me what kind of clasp the princesses necklace had?". "I had a diamond clasp" said the princess. Mine had a pearl clasp said the merchant's wife. The necklace was examined. It had a pearl clasp. The king apologized and set the merchant free and gave him many gifts. Later the real thief was caught. It was a bird who had hidden the necklace in her nest.
