They soon reached home, and Old Black-Cap was very pleased to have them back safe and sound.
“My dear sons,” said he, taking them in his arms, “the kingdom is yours. Rule it well together, as together you have found the Feather. I am an old man now, and shall be glad to see you on the throne.”
Old Black-Cap and his sons gave a mushroom feast to celebrate the goblins' safe return. They invited the rat, the rabbit, the pukeko, and Rowley the frog, and they all enjoyed it very much and lived happily ever after.
