1A certain king had a beautiful garden, and in the garden stood a tree which bore golden apples. These apples were always
2counted, and about the time when they began to grow ripe it was found that every night one of them was gone. The king
3became very angry at this, and ordered the gardener to keep watch all night under the tree. The gardener set his eldest
4son to watch; but about twelve o'clock he fell asleep, and in the morning another of the apples was missing. Then the
5second son was ordered to watch; and at midnight he too fell asleep, and in the morning another apple was gone. Then the
6third son offered to keep watch; but the gardener at first would not let him, for fear some harm should come to him:
7however, at last he consented, and the young man laid himself under the tree to watch. As the clock struck twelve he
8heard a rustling noise in the air, and a bird came flying that was of pure gold; and as it was snapping at one of the
9apples with its beak, the gardener's son jumped up and shot an arrow at it. But the arrow did the bird no harm; only it
10dropped a golden feather from its tail, and then flew away. The golden feather was brought to the king in the morning,
11and all the council was called together. Everyone agreed that it was worth more than all the wealth of the kingdom: but
12the king said, 'One feather is of no use to me, I must have the whole bird.' Then the gardener's eldest son set out and
13thought to find the golden bird very easily; and when he had gone but a little way, he came to a wood, and by the side
14of the wood he saw a fox sitting; so he took his bow and made ready to shoot at it. Then the fox said, 'Do not shoot me,
15for I will give you good counsel; I know what your business is, and that you want to find the golden bird. You will
16reach a village in the evening; and when you get there, you will see two inns opposite to each other, one of which is
17very pleasant and beautiful to look at: go not in there, but rest for the night in the other, though it may appear to
18you to be very poor and mean.' But the son thought to himself, 'What can such a beast as this know about the matter?' So
19he shot his arrow at the fox; but he missed it, and it set up its tail above its back and ran into the wood. Then he
20went his way, and in the evening came to the village where the two inns were; and in one of these were people singing,
21and dancing, and feasting; but the other looked very dirty, and poor. 'I should be very silly,' said he, 'if I went to
22that shabby house, and left this charming place'; so he went into the smart house, and ate and drank at his ease, and
23forgot the bird, and his country too. Time passed on; and as the eldest son did not come back, and no tidings were heard
24of him, the second son set out, and the same thing happened to him. He met the fox, who gave him the good advice: but
25when he came to the two inns, his eldest brother was standing at the window where the merrymaking was, and called to him
26to come in; and he could not withstand the temptation, but went in, and forgot the golden bird and his country in the
27same manner. Time passed on again, and the youngest son too wished to set out into the wide world to seek for the golden
28bird; but his father would not listen to it for a long while, for he was very fond of his son, and was afraid that some
29ill luck might happen to him also, and prevent his coming back. However, at last it was agreed he should go, for he
30would not rest at home; and as he came to the wood, he met the fox, and heard the same good counsel. But he was thankful
31to the fox, and did not attempt his life as his brothers had done; so the fox said, 'Sit upon my tail, and you will
32travel faster.' So he sat down, and the fox began to run, and away they went over stock and stone so quick that their
33hair whistled in the wind. When they came to the village, the son followed the fox's counsel, and without looking about
34him went to the shabby inn and rested there all night at his ease. In the morning came the fox again and met him as he
35was beginning his journey, and said, 'Go straight forward, till you come to a castle, before which lie a whole troop of
36soldiers fast asleep and snoring: take no notice of them, but go into the castle and pass on and on till you come to a
37room, where the golden bird sits in a wooden cage; close by it stands a beautiful golden cage; but do not try to take
38the bird out of the shabby cage and put it into the handsome one, otherwise you will repent it.' Then the fox stretched
39out his tail again, and the young man sat himself down, and away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled
40in the wind. Before the castle gate all was as the fox had said: so the son went in and found the chamber where the
41golden bird hung in a wooden cage, and below stood the golden cage, and the three golden apples that had been lost were
42lying close by it. Then thought he to himself, 'It will be a very droll thing to bring away such a fine bird in this
43shabby cage'; so he opened the door and took hold of it and put it into the golden cage. But the bird set up such a loud
44scream that all the soldiers awoke, and they took him prisoner and carried him before the king. The next morning the
45court sat to judge him; and when all was heard, it sentenced him to die, unless he should bring the king the golden
46horse which could run as swiftly as the wind; and if he did this, he was to have the golden bird given him for his own.
47So he set out once more on his journey, sighing, and in great despair, when on a sudden his friend the fox met him, and
48said, 'You see now what has happened on account of your not listening to my counsel. I will still, however, tell you how
49to find the golden horse, if you will do as I bid you. You must go straight on till you come to the castle where the
50horse stands in his stall: by his side will lie the groom fast asleep and snoring: take away the horse quietly, but be
51sure to put the old leathern saddle upon him, and not the golden one that is close by it.' Then the son sat down on the
52fox's tail, and away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled in the wind. All went right, and the groom
53lay snoring with his hand upon the golden saddle. But when the son looked at the horse, he thought it a great pity to
54put the leathern saddle upon it. 'I will give him the good one,' said he; 'I am sure he deserves it.' As he took up the
55golden saddle the groom awoke and cried out so loud, that all the guards ran in and took him prisoner, and in the
56morning he was again brought before the court to be judged, and was sentenced to die. But it was agreed, that, if he
57could bring thither the beautiful princess, he should live, and have the bird and the horse given him for his own. Then
58he went his way very sorrowful; but the old fox came and said, 'Why did not you listen to me? If you had, you would have
59carried away both the bird and the horse; yet will I once more give you counsel. Go straight on, and in the evening you
60will arrive at a castle. At twelve o'clock at night the princess goes to the bathing-house: go up to her and give her a
61kiss, and she will let you lead her away; but take care you do not suffer her to go and take leave of her father and
62mother.' Then the fox stretched out his tail, and so away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled again.
