The Prince put on a disguise, walked out of the castle, and went to the wise woman in his kingdom and asked her to tell his fortune. She could see that under his disguise that he was really the Prince, so she said, "No one can tell the fortune of someone as wise as you are. You will have to see for yourself. " So she poured water into a silver bowl and below the surface of the water this is what he saw:
Pure white flowers on long fragile stems growing high on a mountain.
A tower struck by lightening in a storm.
A falcon returning to its master's glove.
He rose from the table, gave two gold coins to the wise woman, and suggested she get a new bowl--because this one didn't know anything very useful.
