‘And in your third country what’s the news?’
‘In my country there is a princess sick.’
And then those three crows went to the lad, and then they asked him what he was doing under the gallows.
And he said, ‘My brothers brought me here.’
And then those three crows flew away. And that lad feels in the grass with his hands, then he put it on his eyes, then he moistened his eyes; forthwith he saw. And then that lad departed to the king. That lad was then the king’s servant, and went then to a city, and went up above the city, and saw there such a great rock, and struck that rock as with a rod; forthwith the water came from the rock. And then that water flowed into the city, where there was no water, there flowed that water, and the people were greatly [[116]]rejoiced. And then he, that lad, cried that the water will always flow; then were the people greatly rejoiced that that water was flowing.
And then that boy went to another city, and there was a sick princess. He went to that king, and asked him, ‘What’s this princess got?’
‘What’s she got! she’s sick.’
‘If you will give me her to wife, then I will help her,’ said that lad to the king.
‘Do but help her, then we will give you her to wife.’
When he had healed her, then he took her to wife; and then they held the bridal seven whole years. And then he became young king.
