322:; "Golden Snail"), a king has no sons, until his wife Chanthewi gives birth to a snail. One of the king's courtiers, a devious man, interprets the birth as a bad omen and recommends the queen is banished. She is banished with the golden snail shell and takes shelter with a poor old couple. One day, the queen leaves home with the old couple, and, when they return, the food is made and the house is tidy. Chanthewi decides to discover the mysterious housekeeper: she pretends to leave and hides behind the house; a youth comes out of the snail shell to clean the house. Chanthewi cracks the snail shell; the youth recognizes her as his mother and is named Sang Thoong. Back at the palace, the devious courtier learns of the youth and lies to the king that he is an evil spirit. The king orders his execution and, after the executioner's axe is useless against Sang Thoong, ties a rock to his feet and throws him into the river. However, Sang Thoong is saved by a beautiful, but evil sorceress named Phanthurak, who welcomes him as son. One day, Phanthurak has to go on a journey, and tells Sang Thoong not to sneak into her belongings. After she leaves, the youth opens a door and sees human skulls and bones; he opens a chest and finds a jug with golden water; another with silver water, a spear and shoes. He dips his finger into the just with the golden liquid and it turns gold; he wears the shoes and discovers they can fly. The next day Phanthurak leaves, Sang Thoong drops the golden liquid on himself, steals the spear and shoes and flies away beyond the mountains. When Phanthurak returns, she discovers her things were stolen by the boy and tries to follow him, but stops at the foot of the mountain, since she has no magic equipment to climb it. Feeling that she is dying, Phanthurak inscribes into a stone a spell to learn the
263:, where the country's king's seven daughters will choose their husbands from the assembled people. When it is the youngest princess's turn, who is on a platform, she sees him as a beautiful youth, then gives him the wreath, marking her choice. The king learns of this and banishes the couple to live in the forest, while the elder princesses plot to kill their brother-in-law. Later, the king sends his seven daughters to bring fishes for him, and whoever arrives last shall have their husband executed. The seventh princess cries over this, but her husband beats the magic stick on the ground and produces the fishes for her, then goes to the forest to play a trick on his sisters-in-law: he takes off the ugly garments and creates a throne to sit on, summons every fish to his location, and waits for the elder princesses. The girls find no fish in the forest, but meet the boy, whom they do not recognize and think him a divine nat. The unknown promises them fishes, in exchange for the girls cutting off the tips of their noses. The next day, they try a similar tactic: this time, they have to bring a stag to the king. The boy tricks the princesses again and asks for the tip of their ears as payment for some stags. The last time, the princesses must each build a road of jewels from their houses to the palace in seven days. On the sixth day, the youngest princess's husband prays and the task is fulfilled. He then takes his wife and both walk the splendid road to the king's palace, accompanied by divine nats, and there he tells how he was the one to fulfill the hunting tasks. The king reprimands his daughters, and their brother-in-law forgives them, restoring their noses and ears. At the end of the tale, the boy returns to his home country, brings the dragon-princess and the giantess foster mother to live with them.
210:, "Принц-улитка" ("Prince-Snail"), a king has seven queens. One night, the first queen has a strange dream she interprets as a sign she will soon become pregnant. Nine months later, she gives birth to a snail shell. The king casts the shell into the water, and the river washes it away to distant margins. A childless old couple finds the shell and takes it home. A youth comes out of the shell, does the chores and returns to it, after the couple goes to work. The old man discovers the youth and adopts him. One day, the snail youth finds human remains under the couple's house, and escapes by using a pair of magical shoes the couple owned. He flies to a distant kingdom. He dons a disguise as a poor man and goes to a celebration, where the princess is standing on a built platform from where she will throw flower garlands at her prospective husband. A garland falls on Prince-Snail's neck and he marries the princess, but, seeing the youth's sorry state, the people feel sorry for her. The princess and her husband move out to a hut in the outskirts of town, where they work hard. One day, the snail prince takes off the poor man's disguise and shows his true self at the princess's house, who does not recognize him. He tests her by saying that, if she is a princess, she must be paired off with a youth such as him. However, the princess rebuffs him by saying she is already married. Content at the fact that the princess is loyal and faithful, the snail prince reveals himself to her, and they live together. At the end of the tale, the king learns of his son-in-law's true form and nominates him as his heir.
306:: a raja is married to a queen, daughter of the King of the Sea Dragons, and she gives birth to a triton shell. For this, she is banished with the shell and takes shelter with a hermit. While the queen is away, a boy emerges of the triton shell and grows in the next days as a youth. After a situation with his birth father's cock-trapper, the Raja imprisons him and tries to kill him, but a sword cannot harm his skin, nor an elephant can trample the boy. The boy is thrown in the sea, in the domains of his maternal grandfather, who rescues him and puts him in contact with the Ogre king named Raja Gurgasi. The shell youth discovers skeletons of Raja Gergasi's previous victims, and tricks the Ogre into teaching him an invisibility spell, then destroys the Ogre's external soul. The youth also finds an ape-skin he can put it on, and journeys to another kingdom. In this kingdom, its seven princesses are collecting flowers for their upcoming betrothals, and the shell youth, seen by the seventh and youngest princess, convinces her to marry him. The king banishes her, but is threatened by a man in ape-skin, and consents to their marriage. Later, the king sets tests for his seven sons-in-law, the ape-skin man included, hoping that the latter fails, but he is the one to prevail in every attempt. At last, the king concedes defeat and makes the Shell Prince his successor.

She puts a garland of flowers around his neck and announces her decision. Believing that his daughter made a poor choice, the king banishes his daughter to a humble hut, but Rochana cannot be happier. One day, Sang Thoong is taken by his brothers-in-law to take part in a hunt. The six brothers-in-law cannot find any good game, but see Sang Thoong surround by animals of the forest and ask if he can share some with them. Sang Thoong agrees to share, if they cut a part of their nostrils in return. The next time, they take Sang Thoong on a fishing trip. The same bad luck assails them, until Sang Thoong agrees to share some of his catches in return for them cutting their earlobes. The third time, war erupts near the kingdom, and princess Rochana tells that her father is summoning Sang Thoong to join in the fray to protect her kingdom. Sang Thoong rides a horse and uses the stolen spear from Phanthurak to defeat the enemy army.

In this kingdom, the ruler has an only daughter, a beautiful princess, who many princes have come to court. The king decides to build a high tower and place his daughter there, then assemble a crowd of suitors for her to throw a hood (a turban, in another translation) to her suitor of choice, instead of a garland. The human snail boy goes joins the assemblage, but, due to his smell, he drives people away. The princess says a prayer and throws the hood, which falls on the snail boy. The king is furious at her choice, but the princess considers it her karma, and is banished to the outskirts of town with her lowly husband. In poverty, the snail boy builds a hut of

The pot is then found by a giantess from the kingdom of giants, and out comes a boy. The giantess and her maids, metamorphosed as humans, raise the boy, but keep him from climbing to the rooftop of her house.
