In this story, a king's daughter has three marks on her body, and she will only marry someone who can match those marks. Many kings and emperors try, but none can match them. One day, the princess meets a poor boy who gives her a piglet, and when she returns home, her parents love it. The next day, the boy gives her two more piglets, and each time she reveals a mark on her body. Eventually, the boy goes to the emperor's court to try to guess the marks of the princess, and a Turk also tries. When they both guess correctly, they spend the night with the princess, and the boy goes out to eat and drink while the Turk follows him. In the end, the boy wins the princess's heart, and they live happily ever after.
