This thistle was covered by beautiful flowers but nobody liked him and nobody looked at him except the old ass. The old donkey told to a thistle that he was beautiful and he wanted to eat him. There was a great company at the manor-house. At this company there was a young lady who came from a long distance. She came from Scotland.
