Grimms' Fairy Tales — Page 10
' said the young man, 'that would be a great thing, but how can you contrive it?'
' disse o jovem, 'isso seria uma grande coisa, mas como você pode conseguir isso?'
'If you will only listen,' said the fox, 'it can be done.
'Se você apenas ouvir,' disse a raposa, 'isso pode ser feito.
When you come to the king, and he asks for the beautiful princess, you must say, "Here she is!"
Quando você chegar ao rei, e ele pedir pela bela princesa, você deve dizer, "Aqui está ela!"
Then he will be very joyful; and you will mount the golden horse that they are to give you, and put out your hand to take leave of them; but shake hands with the princess last.
Então ele ficará muito alegre; e você montará o cavalo dourado que eles devem lhe dar, e estenderá a mão para se despedir deles; mas aperte a mão da princesa por último.
Then lift her quickly on to the horse behind you; clap your spurs to his side, and gallop away as fast as you can.'
Então levante-a rapidamente para o cavalo atrás de você; esporeie o animal nos flancos, e galope tão rápido quanto puder.'
All went right: then the fox said, 'When you come to the castle where the bird is, I will stay with the princess at the door, and you will ride in and speak to the king; and when he sees that it is the right horse, he will bring out the bird; but you must sit still, and say that you want to look at it, to see whether it is the true golden bird; and when you get it into your hand, ride away.'
Tudo correu bem: então a raposa disse, 'Quando você chegar ao castelo onde está o pássaro, eu ficarei com a princesa na porta, e você entrará a cavalo e falará com o rei; e quando ele ver que é o cavalo certo, ele trará o pássaro; mas você deve ficar quieto, e dizer que quer olhá-lo, para ver se é o verdadeiro pássaro dourado; e quando você o tiver na mão, galope para longe.'
This, too, happened as the fox said; they carried off the bird, the princess mounted again, and they rode on to a great wood.
Isso também aconteceu como a raposa disse; eles levaram o pássaro, a princesa montou novamente, e eles cavalgaram até uma grande floresta.
Then the fox came, and said, 'Pray kill me, and cut off my head and my feet.
Então a raposa veio, e disse, 'Peço-lhe que me mate, e corte minha cabeça e meus pés.
