After a year or so had passed, the Queen brought a son into the world. Thereupon the Virgin Mary appeared to her in the night when she lay in her bed alone, and said, "If thou wilt tell the truth and confess that thou didst unlock the forbidden door, I will open thy mouth and give thee back thy speech, but if thou perseverest in thy sin, and deniest obstinately, I will take thy new-born child away with me." Then the queen was permitted to answer, but she remained hard, and said, "No, I did not open the forbidden door;" and the Virgin Mary took the new-born child from her arms, and vanished with it. Next morning when the child was not to be found, it was whispered among the people that the Queen was a man-eater, and had killed her own child. She heard all this and could say nothing to the contrary, but the King would not believe it, for he loved her so much.

大约过了一年，这位王后生下了一个儿子。当天夜里，当她一个人躺在床上时，圣母玛利亚出现在她的面前，并且对她说：“要是你说实话，承认自己打开过那扇禁止打开的门，我就打开你的嘴，让你能开口说话；可要是你顽固不化，继续否认自己的罪孽，我就把你的初生婴儿带走。”圣母这时允许王后说话，可王后固执地说：“不，我没有打开那扇禁止打开的门。”圣母玛利亚便从她怀里夺过初生的婴儿，带着他消失了。第二天早晨，看到孩子不见了，人们便在私下里议论，说王后是吃人的恶魔，竟然杀死了自己的孩子。这些话她全听到了，却没法说什么。好在国王非常爱她，所以也不相信大家所说的话。

When a year had gone by the Queen again bore a son, and in the night the Virgin Mary again came to her, and said, "If thou wilt confess that thou openedst the forbidden door, I will give thee thy child back and untie thy tongue; but if you continuest in sin and deniest it, I will take away with me this new child also." Then the Queen again said, "No, I did not open the forbidden door;" and the Virgin took the child out of her arms, and away with her to heaven. Next morning, when this child also had disappeared, the people declared quite loudly that the Queen had devoured it, and the King's councillors demanded that she should be brought to justice. The King, however, loved her so dearly that he would not believe it, and commanded the councillors under pain of death not to say any more about it.

一年过后，王后又生了一个儿子。夜里圣母玛利亚又来到了她的面前，对她说：“要是你承认打开过那扇禁止打开的门，我就把你的孩子还给你，并且让你开口说话；可要是你继续否认，我就把你这个初生的孩子也带走。”王后仍然回答：“没有，我没有打开那扇门。”圣母只好又从她怀里夺过孩子，带着他回天国去了。第二天早晨，人们看到这个孩子又不见了，便公开地说孩子肯定是被王后吞吃掉了。国王的大臣们要求审判她，但国王因为深爱着王后，不但不肯相信别人的话，而且还禁止大臣们谈及这件事，违者一律处死。
