A small prince breaks a pitcher wherein an ogress had carefully caught the last of an oil fountain (built in honor his birth). She {{curse}}s him to be unable to marry anyone but Snow-White-Fire-Red.

When he grows up, he remembers this and goes in search of her. He finds a tower, where an ogress arrives and calls Snow-White-Fire-Red to let down her hair. As soon as the ogress leaves, he does the same, and wooes the girl. She hides him and when the ogress, whom she calls her mother, returns, asks her how she could escape if she ever wanted to. The ogress, believing her just curious, explains.

This is not a form of "Literature/SnowWhite" (or "Literature/SnowWhiteAndRoseRed", either), of course, but related to "Literature/{{Rapunzel}}". It appears to be an older form, still more closely related to the fairy tale types "The girl helps the hero flee" (such as "Literature/TheWhiteDove") and "the forsaken fiancee" (such as the ending of "Literature/TheLoveOfThreeOranges"). While in "Rapunzel" the heroine is kidnapped young, and in "the girl helps the hero flee", the heroine often is actually the witch/ogress/other villain's child, here it is ambiguous. Compare to the ChildBallad "Literature/YoungBeichan" and "Literature/{{Prunella}}".
