The next morning the court sat to judge him; and when all was heard, it sentenced him to die, unless he should bring the king the golden horse which could run as swiftly as the wind; and if he did this, he was to have the golden bird given him for his own.

Na manhã seguinte o tribunal se reuniu para julgá-lo; e quando tudo foi ouvido, condenou-o à morte, a menos que ele trouxesse ao rei o cavalo dourado que podia correr tão velozmente quanto o vento; e se fizesse isso, a ave dourada lhe seria dada como sua.

So he set out once more on his journey, sighing, and in great despair, when on a sudden his friend the fox met him, and said, 'You see now what has happened on account of your not listening to my counsel.

Então ele partiu mais uma vez em sua jornada, suspirando e em grande desespero, quando de repente seu amigo a raposa o encontrou e disse: 'Você vê agora o que aconteceu por não ter escutado meu conselho.

I will still, however, tell you how to find the golden horse, if you will do as I bid you.

No entanto, ainda lhe direi como encontrar o cavalo dourado, se você fizer como eu mandar.

You must go straight on till you come to the castle where the horse stands in his stall: by his side will lie the groom fast asleep and snoring: take away the horse quietly, but be sure to put the old leathern saddle upon him, and not the golden one that is close by it.'

Você deve seguir em frente até chegar ao castelo onde o cavalo está em sua baia: ao seu lado estará o cavalariço dormindo profundamente e roncando: leve o cavalo em silêncio, mas certifique-se de colocar nele a velha sela de couro, e não a dourada que está bem ao lado.'

Then the son sat down on the fox's tail, and away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled in the wind.

Então o filho sentou-se sobre a cauda da raposa, e lá se foram por sobre troncos e pedras até que seus cabelos assobiaram no vento.

All went right, and the groom lay snoring with his hand upon the golden saddle.

Tudo correu bem, e o cavalariço estava roncando com a mão sobre a sela dourada.

But when the son looked at the horse, he thought it a great pity to put the leathern saddle upon it.

Mas quando o filho olhou para o cavalo, achou uma grande pena colocar nele a sela de couro.

'I will give him the good one,' said he; 'I am sure he deserves it.

'Eu lhe darei a boa,' disse ele; 'Tenho certeza de que ele a merece.
