1Then he laid himself down and slept off a little of his weariness; and when he awoke the next morning he broke off a
2head both of the good and the bad salad, and thought to himself, 'This will help me to my fortune again, and enable me
3to pay off some folks for their treachery.' So he went away to try and find the castle of his friends; and after
4wandering about a few days he luckily found it. Then he stained his face all over brown, so that even his mother would
5not have known him, and went into the castle and asked for a lodging; 'I am so tired,' said he, 'that I can go no
6farther.' 'Countryman,' said the witch, 'who are you? and what is your business?' 'I am,' said he, 'a messenger sent by
7the king to find the finest salad that grows under the sun. I have been lucky enough to find it, and have brought it
8with me; but the heat of the sun scorches so that it begins to wither, and I don't know that I can carry it farther.'
9When the witch and the young lady heard of his beautiful salad, they longed to taste it, and said, 'Dear countryman, let
10us just taste it.' 'To be sure,' answered he; 'I have two heads of it with me, and will give you one'; so he opened his
11bag and gave them the bad. Then the witch herself took it into the kitchen to be dressed; and when it was ready she
12could not wait till it was carried up, but took a few leaves immediately and put them in her mouth, and scarcely were
13they swallowed when she lost her own form and ran braying down into the court in the form of an ass. Now the
14servant-maid came into the kitchen, and seeing the salad ready, was going to carry it up; but on the way she too felt a
15wish to taste it as the old woman had done, and ate some leaves; so she also was turned into an ass and ran after the
16other, letting the dish with the salad fall on the ground. The messenger sat all this time with the beautiful young
17lady, and as nobody came with the salad and she longed to taste it, she said, 'I don't know where the salad can be.'
18Then he thought something must have happened, and said, 'I will go into the kitchen and see.' And as he went he saw two
19asses in the court running about, and the salad lying on the ground. 'All right!' said he; 'those two have had their
20share.' Then he took up the rest of the leaves, laid them on the dish and brought them to the young lady, saying, 'I
21bring you the dish myself that you may not wait any longer.' So she ate of it, and like the others ran off into the
22court braying away. Then the huntsman washed his face and went into the court that they might know him. 'Now you shall
23be paid for your roguery,' said he; and tied them all three to a rope and took them along with him till he came to a
24mill and knocked at the window. 'What's the matter?' said the miller. 'I have three tiresome beasts here,' said the
25other; 'if you will take them, give them food and room, and treat them as I tell you, I will pay you whatever you ask.'
26'With all my heart,' said the miller; 'but how shall I treat them?' Then the huntsman said, 'Give the old one stripes
27three times a day and hay once; give the next (who was the servant-maid) stripes once a day and hay three times; and
28give the youngest (who was the beautiful lady) hay three times a day and no stripes': for he could not find it in his
29heart to have her beaten. After this he went back to the castle, where he found everything he wanted. Some days after,
30the miller came to him and told him that the old ass was dead; 'The other two,' said he, 'are alive and eat, but are so
31sorrowful that they cannot last long.' Then the huntsman pitied them, and told the miller to drive them back to him, and
32when they came, he gave them some of the good salad to eat. And the beautiful young lady fell upon her knees before him,
33and said, 'O dearest huntsman! forgive me all the ill I have done you; my mother forced me to it, it was against my
34will, for I always loved you very much. Your wishing-cloak hangs up in the closet, and as for the bird's heart, I will
35give it you too.' But he said, 'Keep it, it will be just the same thing, for I mean to make you my wife.' So they were
36married, and lived together very happily till they died.
