When Allerleirauh came, the King said, "Who art thou?" - "I am a poor girl who no longer has any father or mother." He asked further, "Of what use art thou in my palace?" She answered, "I am good for nothing but to have boots thrown at my head." He continued, "Where didst thou get the ring which was in the soup?" She answered, "I know nothing about the ring." So the King could learn nothing, and had to send her away again.
After a while, there was another festival, and then, as before, Allerleirauh begged the cook for leave to go and look on. He answered, "Yes, but come back again in half-an-hour, and make the King the bread soup which he so much likes." Then she ran into her den, washed herself quickly, and took out of the nut the dress which was as silvery as the moon, and put it on. Then she went up and was like a princess, and the King stepped forward to meet her, and rejoiced to see her once more, and as the dance was just beginning they danced it together. But when it was ended, she again disappeared so quickly that the King could not observe where she went. She, however, sprang into her den, and once more made herself a hairy animal, and went into the kitchen to prepare the bread soup. When the cook had gone up-stairs, she fetched the little golden spinning-wheel, and put it in the bowl so that the soup covered it. Then it was taken to the King, who ate it, and liked it as much as before, and had the cook brought, who this time likewise was forced to confess that Allerleirauh had prepared the soup. Allerleirauh again came before the King, but she answered that she was good for nothing else but to have boots thrown at her head, and that she knew nothing at all about the little golden spinning-wheel.
When, for the third time, the King held a festival, all happened just as it had done before. The cook said, "Faith rough-skin, thou art a witch, and always puttest something in the soup which makes it so good that the King likes it better than that which I cook," but as she begged so hard, he lether go up at the appointed time. And now she put on the dress which shone like the stars, and thus entered the hall. Again the King danced with the beautiful maiden, and thought that she never yet had been so beautiful. And whilst she was dancing, he contrived, without her noticing it, to slip a golden ring on her finger, and he had given orders that the dance should last a very long time. When it was ended, he wanted to hold her fast by her hands, but she tore herself loose, and sprang away so quickly through the crowd that she vanished from his sight. She ran as fast as she could into her den beneath the stairs, but as she had been too long, and had stayed more than half-an-hour she could not take off her pretty dress, but only threw over it her fur-mantle, and in her haste she did not make herself quite black, but one finger remained white. Then Allerleirauh ran into the kitchen, and cooked the bread soup for the King, and as the cook was away, put her golden reel into it. When the King found the reel at the bottom of it, he caused Allerleirauh to be summoned, and then he espied the white finger, and saw the ring which he had put on it during the dance. Then he grasped her by the hand, and held her fast, and when she wanted to release herself and run away, her mantle of fur opened a little, and the star-dress shone forth. The King clutched the mantle and tore it off. Then her golden hair shone forth, and she stood there in full splendour, and could no longer hide herself. And when she had washed the soot and ashes from her face, she was more beautiful than anyone who had ever been seen on earth. But the King said, "Thou art my dear bride, and we will never more part from each other." Thereupon the marriage was solemnized, and they lived happily until their death.从前有个国王，他的妻子长着一头金发，她的美貌在世界上是绝无仅有的。可不幸的是她病倒了，而且很快就要死了。她将国王叫到跟前说："如果你想在我死后再娶，答应我一定要娶一个和我一样美、一样有一头金发的女人。"国王答应了，王后便闭上眼睛死了。
国王难过了很长时间，根本无心再娶。最后他的大臣们说："不能再这样下去了，国王一定要再娶一个，我们也好有个王后。"于是向四面八方派出使者，寻找和已故王后一样美丽的姑娘。可是全国都找遍了却没有找到，偶尔找到一个漂亮的，又没有王后那样的金发，使者们只好空手而归。
国王有个女儿，长得和母亲一模一样，而且也是一头金发，她一天一天长大了。国王看着她，觉得她无处不似已故的妻子，因而对她产生了强烈的爱。他对大臣们说："我要娶我女儿，她就是我前妻的再现。我再也找不到有谁更像她了。"大臣们大惊失色地说："上帝是禁止父亲娶女儿的。犯这样的罪不会有好结果，而且整个国家都会遭殃的。"
公主得知父亲的打算后更是震惊，可她希望能使父亲改变主意。于是她对父亲说："在我答应你的要求之前，我必须得到三件衣服：一件像太阳那样金光闪耀、一件像月亮那样银光四溢、一件像星星那样明亮闪烁。除此以外，我还要一件斗篷，必须是用上千种不同动物的皮毛缝制的。你国度里的每一种动物都必须献上一块皮毛。"公主想："这些都是不可能办到的。这样就可以让父亲改变主意了。然而国王没有放弃，他吩咐手艺最巧的姑娘织那三件衣服……一件像太阳般闪耀、一件像月亮般流银、一件像星星般璀灿;他还吩咐最优秀的猎人去捕捉每一种动物，然后取其皮毛缝制千兽皮斗篷。等一切准备停当，国王叫人在公主面前展开斗篷，说：
"我们明天就举行婚礼。"
公主一看没法让父亲回心转意，便决定远走他乡。晚上，当人们都睡熟之后，公主从珠宝盒里取出一个金戒指、一个金纺轮和一个金线轴，然后将阳光、月亮和星星三件衣服等物装进一只小匣子，用烟灰将手脚和脸涂得黑黑的，披上千兽皮斗篷出发了。她听天由命地走了一整夜，来到一座大森林里。她累极了，便爬进一个树洞睡着了。
太阳出来了，公主还没醒;中午了，她仍然熟睡着。这森林是一个国王的，那天他刚巧出来打猎，猎狗跑到树洞口嗅了又嗅，然后围着树"汪汪"直叫。国王对跟来的猎手说："去看看是什么野兽躲在那儿。"猎人去了之后回来说："有头奇怪的动物在树洞里睡觉，身上的皮是上千种兽皮拼起来的。我们以前还从没见过这种动物呢。"国王于是说："试试能不能活捉。如果能就捆好让我带回王宫去。"猎手抓住了公主，姑娘惊恐万状地喊道："我是个被父母遗弃的可怜的孩子，可怜可怜我，带我走吧。"猎手说："千皮兽，我看你在厨房里帮着扫扫炉灰还行。跟我来吧。"他们让公主上了马车，把她带回了王宫，指着楼梯底下一间不透光的衣帽间对她说："毛家伙，你住在这儿吧。"从此公主被派到厨房扛柴火、挑水、扫炉膛灰、拔鸡鸭毛、拣菜、掏炉膛……，干各种又脏又累的活儿。千皮兽在那里度过了很长一段时间的悲惨生活。啊，美丽的公主，你现在都成什么模样了!
