Part 5/9:
In her new life, the princess is untrained, helpless, and wholly unfamiliar with the work required to sustain oneself. She tries to weave, spin, and sell goods in the market—efforts met with struggle and failure. The story emphasizes her inability to handle life's basic tasks, highlighting her spoiled nature and lack of character.
Her downfall culminates when a drunk soldier destroys her wares, leaving her despairing. Her husband then takes her to the king's court, where she witnesses grand festivities and begins to reflect on her previous arrogance and pride.
