【1】
They came to the wood where the fox first met them.

【2】
It was so cool and pleasant that the two brothers said, “Let’s sit down by the side of the river and rest a while, to eat and drink.”

【3】
The young man nodded to them, forgetting the fox's counsel, and sat down on the side of the river.

【4】
While he suspected nothing, somebody came behind.

【5】
They threw him down the bank all at once and took the princess, the horse, and the bird, and went home to their king.

【6】
Two brothers said, “We have won all of them.”

【7】
Then there was great rejoicing, but the horse would not eat anything, the bird would not sing any songs, and the princess wept away.

【8】
The youngest son fell to the bottom of the river's bed.

【9】
Luckily it was nearly dry, but his bones were almost broken, and the bank was so steep that he could find no way to get out.

【10】
Then the old fox came once more, and scolded him for not following his advice; otherwise no suspicion would have befallen him.

【11】
The fox said, “Yet, I cannot leave you here, so lay hold of my tail and hold fast.”

【12】
Then the fox pulled him out of the river, and said to him, as he got upon the bank, 'Your brothers have set watch to kill you, if they find you in the kingdom.”

【13】
So he dressed himself as a poor man, and came secretly to the king's court.

【14】
When he was within the doors, the horse began to eat, the bird to sing, and the princess left off weeping.

【15】
Then he went to the king, and told the king his brothers’ rascality.

【16】
They were seized and punished, and he had the princess given to him again

【17】
After the king's death he was the heir to the kingdom.

【18】
A long while after, one day he went to walk in the wood.

【19】
The old fox met him, and appeal to him with tears in its eyes to kill it and cut off its head and feet.

【20】
At last he did so, and in a moment the fox was changed into a man, and turned out to be the brother of the princess, who had been lost for many years.
