They flew on and on, they flew till they came to the eagle's uncle. And the eagle said to the archer:
"Go to my house, and when they ask thee: 'Hast thou not seen our poor child?' reply, 'Give me the magic egg, and I'll bring him before your eyes!'"
So he went to the house, and there they said to him:
"Hast thou heard of our poor child with thine ears, or seen him with thine eyes, and hast thou come hither willingly or unwillingly?"
And he answered:
"I have come hither willingly!"
Then they asked:
"Hast thou smelt out anything of our poor youngster? for it is three years now since he went to the wars, and there's neither sight nor sound of him more!"
And he answered:
"Give me the magic egg, and I'll bring him straightway before your eyes!"
