One day years later, when the girls were teenagers, the king and queen boarded a ship, intending to visit another kingdom. They hugged their daughters goodbye and left them at home, as they had many times before. But this time, the king and queen never returned. A storm engulfed the ship, and they were lost at sea. The kingdom mourned their rulers.
多年以後，姐妹倆長成了十幾歲的大姑娘。有一天，國王和王后打算乘船出使他國。和往常一樣，把姐妹倆留在了家裡。他們互相擁抱道別。但這一次，國王和王后再也沒有回來。暴風雨吞沒了他們的船隻，輪船失事了。聽到國王和王后意外崩逝的消息，舉國上下都陷入了哀傷之中。
