Though her siblings mock her and her mother forbids it, Mirabel's steadfast vision sees past the bird to a handsome prince, and she marries him One by one, the envious mother dispatches her other daughters to the green bird's palace to spy on who he really is. They are overcome with the beauty of their sister's palace, and by the power of a sleeping potion the prince has provided to Mirabel.
