In the morning came the fox again and met him as he was beginning his journey, and said, 'Go straight forward, till you come to a castle, before which lie a whole troop of soldiers fast asleep and snoring: take no notice of them, but go into the castle and pass on and on till you come to a room, where the golden bird sits in a wooden cage; close by it stands a beautiful golden cage; but do not try to take the bird out of the shabby cage and put it into the handsome one, otherwise you will repent it.'

De manhã veio a raposa novamente e encontrou-o quando ele estava começando sua jornada, e disse: 'Vá sempre em frente, até chegar a um castelo, diante do qual está um batalhão inteiro de soldados profundamente adormecidos e roncando: não lhes preste atenção, mas entre no castelo e siga em frente até chegar a um quarto, onde o pássaro dourado está sentado em uma gaiola de madeira; bem ao lado dele está uma bela gaiola dourada; mas não tente tirar o pássaro da gaiola surrada e colocá-lo na bonita, caso contrário você se arrependerá.'

Then the fox stretched out his tail again, and the young man sat himself down, and away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled in the wind.

Então a raposa estendeu novamente sua cauda, e o jovem sentou-se, e lá foram eles por sobre troncos e pedras até que seus cabelos assobiaram no vento.

Before the castle gate all was as the fox had said: so the son went in and found the chamber where the golden bird hung in a wooden cage, and below stood the golden cage, and the three golden apples that had been lost were lying close by it.

Diante do portão do castelo tudo estava como a raposa havia dito: então o filho entrou e encontrou o quarto onde o pássaro dourado estava pendurado em uma gaiola de madeira, e abaixo estava a gaiola dourada, e as três maçãs douradas que tinham sido perdidas estavam deitadas bem ao lado dela.

Then thought he to himself, 'It will be a very droll thing to bring away such a fine bird in this shabby cage'; so he opened the door and took hold of it and put it into the golden cage.

Então pensou consigo mesmo: 'Será uma coisa muito ridícula levar embora um pássaro tão belo nesta gaiola surrada'; então ele abriu a porta, pegou-o e colocou-o na gaiola dourada.

But the bird set up such a loud scream that all the soldiers awoke, and they took him prisoner and carried him before the king.

Mas o pássaro soltou um grito tão alto que todos os soldados acordaram, e eles o fizeram prisioneiro e o levaram diante do rei.
