When the king found out, he was furious and cut off the girl's fingers and drove her out of the palace. But later the girl lived happily and she married a wealthy businessman. One day a beggar came to her door to beg, and she prepared a rich meal for him. She told her husband that if he gave alms to the beggar, her hands would be restored to their original state.
