“She is not on the dry earth,” said Far Seer.
“Look into the sea,” said Kiss Miklos.
Far Seer surveyed the deep sea, and saw her hidden in the belly of a three-pound whale, near the opposite shore of the sea.
“Ah, I see where she is!”
“Where?” asked Miklos.
“Hidden in the belly of a three-pound whale.”
“Here, good friend Great Drinker,” said Miklos, “come hither, and drink up the water of this deep sea!”
Great Drinker was not slow. He lay face under by the sea, and with three draughts drank up all the water. The three-pound whale was lying then in a bay near the opposite shore.
“Now, good brother Swift Runner,” said Kiss Miklos, “step out and bring me that three-pound whale which is lying near the opposite shore.”
Swift Runner rushed in a moment across the bottom of the sea, and brought back the three-pound whale. Miklos opened the whale, took out its stomach, cut it carefully, and out fell the Green Daughter of the Green King. Then he seated her in the coach, and they drove on.
