A fairy who was at his birth said, however, that he would be very amiable for all that, since he would have uncommon good sense. She even added that it would be in his power, by virtue of a gift she had just then given him, to bestow as much sense as he pleased on the person he loved the best. All this somewhat comforted the poor Queen. It is true that this child no sooner began to talk than he said a thousand pretty things, and in all his actions there was an intelligence that was quite charming. I forgot to tell you that he was born with a little tuft of hair upon his head, which made them call him Riquet1 with the Tuft, for Riquet was the family name.  \nSeven or eight years later the Queen of a neighboring kingdom had two daughters who were twins. The first born of these was more beautiful than the day; whereat the Queen was so very glad that those present were afraid that her excess of joy would do her harm. The same fairy who was present at the birth of little Riquet with the Tuft was here also, and, to moderate the Queen's gladness, she declared that this  \n1 Pronounced Rēkā (or Ree-kay) .  \nlittle Princess should have no sense at all, but should be as stupid as she was pretty. This mortified the Queen extremely; but afterward she had a far greater sorrow, for the second daughter proved to be very ugly.  \n\"Do not afflict yourself so much, madam,\" said the fairy. \"Your daughter shall have her recompense; she shall have so great a portion of sense that the want of beauty will hardly be perceived.\"  \n\"God grant it,\" replied the Queen;\"but is there no way to make the eldest, whois so pretty, have any sense?\"  \n\"I can do nothing for her, madam, as to sense,\" answered the fairy, \"but everything as to beauty; and as there is nothing I would not do for your satisfaction, I give her for gift that she shall have power to make handsome the person who shall best please her.\"  \nAs these princesses grew up, their perfections grew with them. All the public talk was of the beauty of the elder and the rare good sense of the younger. It is true also that their defects increased considerably with their age. The younger visibly grew uglier and uglier, and the elder became every day more and more stupid: she either made no answer at all to what was asked her, or said something very silly. She was with all this so unhandy that she could not place four pieces of china upon  \nFree Printables and More for K-12 Education [www.](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)[STUDENTHANDOUTS](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)[.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nthe mantelpiece without breaking one of them, nor drink a glass of water without spilling half of it upon her clothes.  \nAlthough beauty is a very great advantage in young people, the younger sister was always the more preferred in society. People would indeed go first to the Beauty to look upon and admire her, but turn aside soon after to the Wit to hear a thousand most entertaining and agreeable things; and it was amazing to see, in less than a quarter of an hour's time, the elder with not a soul near her, and the whole company crowding about the younger. The elder, dull as she was, could not fail to notice this; and without the slightest regret would have given all her beauty to have half her sister's wit. The Queen, prudent as she was, could not help reproaching her several times for her stupidity, which almost made the poor Princess die of grief.  \nOne day, as she had hidden herself in a wood to bewail her misfortune, she saw coming to her a very disagreeable little man, but most magnificently dressed. This was the young Prince Riquet with the Tuft, who having fallen in love with her upon seeing her picture—many of which were distributed ","cbCaifnHbDy0up34","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifnHbDy0up34","pdf",350315,"English","# Riquet with the Tuft\n## The Queen, the fairy, and the promise of sense\n## The twins: beauty, stupidity, and social preference\n## Riquet’s encounter with the unhappy princess\n## The offer to bestow good sense","[{\"question\":\"Who is the main character in “Riquet with the Tuft” and what trait distinguishes him at birth?\",\"answer\":\"Riquet is born ugly and misshapen, but he has a little tuft of hair on his head.
