made his way to the castle on his way he met lanky old lady who looked very poor my dear child i'm very hungry would you be kind enough to give me piece of bread the young man gave all the food he had in his bag to the old lady she was very happy because the previous men who had passed didn't give anything the old woman knew that this one was different than the others so in return she gave him magic cape take this magic cape when you wear it you will be invisible when it strikes 12 o'clock at night put the cape on be invisible and get in the princess's room this way you can solve the mystery of the shoes but be aware do not drink what the princesses give you no those nasty princesses the young man took the magic cape and went to the castle and when he arrived he said that he was there to solve the mystery of the shoes first day when he was keeping guard in front of the princess's room the oldest princess came out with glass of lemonade you must be thirsty we have prepared some lemonade for you please have some the young man forgot about the old lady's morning and drank it soon after he was very sleepy he fell asleep snoring all night in the room that they had prepared for him when it was morning the young man stood up in panic was supposed to wear the magic cape and get in the princess's room on the second night the young man once again kept guard in front of the princess's room this time another princess came out with glass of juice in her hand the young man was so thirsty while keeping god and waiting for the nightfall without thinking he drank all the juice that had been given to him and of course dozed off once again the next morning when he woke up he finally remembered the old lady's words but be aware do not drink what the princesses give you there must be sleeping pill in the drinks the princesses give me at that moment the king came next to him two days have gone by and you still haven't solved the mystery of the shoes if you cannot do it today you will end up in prison and stay there for the rest of your life the king finished his talk and went away the young man had to solve this mystery today that night for the last time the young man kept guard in front of the princess's door this time the youngest princess came out with an orange juice in her hand but the young man was aware now he took the glass thanking the princess and when the princess left he poured the orange juice in pot next to him this time round he was standing tall the night fell and soon it was midnight the young man put his cape on and that that moment became invisible slowly he opened the door and could not believe what he was seeing all of the princesses were wearing their most beautiful ball gowns hair and makeup done with their very new shoes let's see if the young man at the door has fallen asleep one of the princesses opened the door and looked outside and another princess put her ear on the wall at that moment the young man knew that he had to make some snoring noises the oldest princess pushed her bed aside and clapped her hands three times secret passage opened in the place of the bed the young man could not believe his eyes one by one all the princesses walked inside and of course the young man followed the secret passage was opening to stairway which had hundreds of steps going down when they were going down the stairs at one point the young man accidentally stepped on one of the princess's skirts somebody stepped on my skirt nonsense it was probably you the stairs had finished they came into forest they went past tall trees with beautiful silver branches the young man took branch and kept following the princesses after another long walk they stopped on the edge of river in the river there were 12 boats in the shape of swans and in them there were 12 princes waiting for the princesses they got on the boats and the young man got on the last one the boat seems heavier than usual today as if another person is on it strange come on stop dreaming when they crossed the river they came across big shiny castle and they could hear music coming from inside when he looked through the window the young man saw many people dancing as soon as they entered the castle the princesses started to dance they would never get tired and just kept on dancing of course their shoes started to wear out the young man could not bear his hunger anymore so he took slice of cake on the table and started to eat the youngest princess saw this hey my cake my cake is floating as if someone invisible is eating it come on stop it with this nonsense the young man took golden cup from the table without anyone noticing the princesses danced till the morning then they got on the boots across the river walk through the forest walked up the very long staircase and finally they came back to their castle but their shoes were all worn out once again the young man was very happy that he had finally solved the mystery of the worn out shoes while later the king came next to the young man our time is up today did you solve the mystery of the shoes yes your highness did and so he told him everything the king didn't believe him at first but when the young man showed him the silver branch from the forest and the golden cup from the shining castle the king knew he was telling the truth and so he kept his promise and granted him the right to marry whichever princess he chose the young man said that he wanted to marry the youngest one the twelve dancing princesses were clearly not happy because their secret was out now but the young man and the youngest princess got married and lived happily ever after
