When the king fulfills these impossible tasks, however, she demands one final gift: a cloak made of a thousand kinds of fur! But no sooner is this wish granted than she hides herself, wearing the fur cloak, unrecognized by the world and the king, as his kitchen maid. And so she puts his love to one final test!
