1As they came to the castle, all was as the fox had said, and at twelve o'clock the young man met the princess going to
2the bath and gave her the kiss, and she agreed to run away with him, but begged with many tears that he would let her
3take leave of her father. At first he refused, but she wept still more and more, and fell at his feet, till at last he
4consented; but the moment she came to her father's house the guards awoke and he was taken prisoner again. Then he was
5brought before the king, and the king said, 'You shall never have my daughter unless in eight days you dig away the hill
6that stops the view from my window.' Now this hill was so big that the whole world could not take it away: and when he
7had worked for seven days, and had done very little, the fox came and said. 'Lie down and go to sleep; I will work for
8you.' And in the morning he awoke and the hill was gone; so he went merrily to the king, and told him that now that it
9was removed he must give him the princess. Then the king was obliged to keep his word, and away went the young man and
10the princess; and the fox came and said to him, 'We will have all three, the princess, the horse, and the bird.' 'Ah!'
11said the young man, 'that would be a great thing, but how can you contrive it?' 'If you will only listen,' said the fox,
12'it can be done. When you come to the king, and he asks for the beautiful princess, you must say, "Here she is!" Then he
13will be very joyful; and you will mount the golden horse that they are to give you, and put out your hand to take leave
14of them; but shake hands with the princess last. Then lift her quickly on to the horse behind you; clap your spurs to
15his side, and gallop away as fast as you can.' All went right: then the fox said, 'When you come to the castle where the
16bird is, I will stay with the princess at the door, and you will ride in and speak to the king; and when he sees that it
17is the right horse, he will bring out the bird; but you must sit still, and say that you want to look at it, to see
18whether it is the true golden bird; and when you get it into your hand, ride away.' This, too, happened as the fox said;
19they carried off the bird, the princess mounted again, and they rode on to a great wood. Then the fox came, and said,
20'Pray kill me, and cut off my head and my feet.' But the young man refused to do it: so the fox said, 'I will at any
21rate give you good counsel: beware of two things; ransom no one from the gallows, and sit down by the side of no river.'
22Then away he went. 'Well,' thought the young man, 'it is no hard matter to keep that advice.' He rode on with the
23princess, till at last he came to the village where he had left his two brothers. And there he heard a great noise and
24uproar; and when he asked what was the matter, the people said, 'Two men are going to be hanged.' As he came nearer, he
25saw that the two men were his brothers, who had turned robbers; so he said, 'Cannot they in any way be saved?' But the
26people said 'No,' unless he would bestow all his money upon the rascals and buy their liberty. Then he did not stay to
27think about the matter, but paid what was asked, and his brothers were given up, and went on with him towards their
28home. And as they came to the wood where the fox first met them, it was so cool and pleasant that the two brothers said,
29'Let us sit down by the side of the river, and rest a while, to eat and drink.' So he said, 'Yes,' and forgot the fox's
30counsel, and sat down on the side of the river; and while he suspected nothing, they came behind, and threw him down the
31bank, and took the princess, the horse, and the bird, and went home to the king their master, and said. 'All this have
32we won by our labour.' Then there was great rejoicing made; but the horse would not eat, the bird would not sing, and
33the princess wept. The youngest son fell to the bottom of the river's bed: luckily it was nearly dry, but his bones were
34almost broken, and the bank was so steep that he could find no way to get out. Then the old fox came once more, and
35scolded him for not following his advice; otherwise no evil would have befallen him: 'Yet,' said he, 'I cannot leave you
36here, so lay hold of my tail and hold fast.' Then he pulled him out of the river, and said to him, as he got upon the
37bank, 'Your brothers have set watch to kill you, if they find you in the kingdom.' So he dressed himself as a poor man,
38and came secretly to the king's court, and was scarcely within the doors when the horse began to eat, and the bird to
39sing, and the princess left off weeping. Then he went to the king, and told him all his brothers' roguery; and they were
40seized and punished, and he had the princess given to him again; and after the king's death he was heir to his kingdom.
41A long while after, he went to walk one day in the wood, and the old fox met him, and besought him with tears in his
42eyes to kill him, and cut off his head and feet. And at last he did so, and in a moment the fox was changed into a man,
43and turned out to be the brother of the princess, who had been lost a great many many years.
