' So he said, 'Yes,' and forgot the fox's counsel, and sat down on the side of the river; and while he suspected nothing, they came behind, and threw him down the bank, and took the princess, the horse, and the bird, and went home to the king their master, and said.

Então ele disse 'Sim', e esqueceu o conselho da raposa, e sentou-se à beira do rio; e enquanto nada suspeitava, eles vieram por trás, e o jogaram abaixo da margem, e tomaram a princesa, o cavalo e o pássaro, e foram para casa ao rei, seu senhor, e disseram.

'All this have we won by our labour.'

'Tudo isso conquistamos com o nosso trabalho.'

Then there was great rejoicing made; but the horse would not eat, the bird would not sing, and the princess wept.

Então houve grande regozijo; mas o cavalo não queria comer, o pássaro não queria cantar, e a princesa chorava.

The youngest son fell to the bottom of the river's bed: luckily it was nearly dry, but his bones were almost broken, and the bank was so steep that he could find no way to get out.

O filho mais novo caiu no fundo do leito do rio: felizmente estava quase seco, mas seus ossos quase se quebraram, e a margem era tão íngreme que ele não conseguia encontrar maneira alguma de sair.

Then the old fox came once more, and scolded him for not following his advice; otherwise no evil would have befallen him: 'Yet,' said he, 'I cannot leave you here, so lay hold of my tail and hold fast.'

Então a velha raposa veio mais uma vez, e o repreendeu por não ter seguido seu conselho; caso contrário, nenhum mal teria lhe acontecido: 'Ainda assim,' disse ela, 'não posso te deixar aqui, então agarre minha cauda e segure-se firme.'

Then he pulled him out of the river, and said to him, as he got upon the bank, 'Your brothers have set watch to kill you, if they find you in the kingdom.'

Então ela o puxou para fora do rio, e disse a ele, ao chegar à margem, 'Seus irmãos estão de vigia para te matar, se te encontrarem no reino.'

So he dressed himself as a poor man, and came secretly to the king's court, and was scarcely within the doors when the horse began to eat, and the bird to sing, and the princess left off weeping.

Então ele se vestiu como um homem pobre, e foi secretamente à corte do rei, e mal havia entrado pelas portas quando o cavalo começou a comer, e o pássaro a cantar, e a princesa parou de chorar.
