Summary

Fair Helena is set task after terrible task by her stepmother, which she accomplished with her fairy godmother's help.

When word of her beauty gets out, she is courted by, and falls in love with Prince Fickle, who soon leaves her to get his father's blessing for marriage. He fails to return for quite some time, and Helena journeys out in search of him. Unsuccessful, she takes work as a cow-herd.

Time passes and she learns that the princess of the land is set to marry a certain Prince Fickle.

Helena dons her finery and attends the celebratory feasts. Completely taken with her, and gripped by a sense of familiarity, Prince Fickle begs to know her identity. It is revealed with a kiss on his cheek. Immediately he remembers and begs her forgiveness. Now joyfully reunited, they are married and return to Helena's castle where they happily live out the rest of their days.
