How the waterman sent a wagon of pearls.

How the waterman Čepeček sent to the Countess for a water lily wreath. The Count's vanity cost the maid Katherine almost her life and the waterman Chepecek a few water lily flowers. Worse, however, is the Countess herself. He is so eager to show himself in the best light before the prince, but he can only manage a frog croak5. How the waterman Chepecek danced a dance with the fairy Markytka. In the last of the fairy tales about the waterman Chepeček, the Countess wants the fairy slippers, so the Count simply steals them. In fairy tales, however, nothing goes unpunished, so the shoes rightfully end up on the feet of the fairy Markytka and the Count and Countess in the pond.
