Brother Fox came out of the satchel promptly, and worked so well at his trade that of all the fowls he found there, not one remained alive.
At break of day the servant-girl, whose business it was to attend to the poultry-yard, opened the door of the henhouse, and was astounded to see Teenchy Duck come out, singing the same old song:
"Quack! quack! Give me back my beautiful money!"
The astonished girl immediately told her master, the Prince, what had happened, and the wife of the Prince, who had at that moment learned all, said to her husband:
"This Duck is a witch. Give her the money, or it will bring us bad luck."
The Prince of the Seven Golden Cows refused to listen. He believed that the fox had only happened to enter his henhouse by accident.
Teenchy Duck made herself heard all day, and at night the Prince said to his servants:
"Take this squaller and throw her into the stable under the feet of the mules and horses. We will see in the morning what she will say."
The servants obeyed, and Teenchy Duck immediately cried:
"Brother Wolf, if you do not come quickly to my aid I shall be killed."
