He met the fox, who gave him the good advice: but when he came to the two inns, his eldest brother was standing at the window where the merrymaking was, and called to him to come in; and he could not withstand the temptation, but went in, and forgot the golden bird and his country in the same manner.

Anh ta gặp con cáo, con cáo đã cho anh ta lời khuyên tốt: nhưng khi anh ta đến hai quán trọ, người anh cả đang đứng ở cửa sổ nơi có tiệc vui, và gọi anh ta vào; anh ta không thể cưỡng lại cám dỗ, liền bước vào, và quên mất con chim vàng cùng quê hương mình theo cách tương tự.

Time passed on again, and the youngest son too wished to set out into the wide world to seek for the golden bird; but his father would not listen to it for a long while, for he was very fond of his son, and was afraid that some ill luck might happen to him also, and prevent his coming back.

Thời gian lại trôi qua, và người con út cũng muốn lên đường ra thế giới rộng lớn để tìm kiếm con chim vàng; nhưng cha anh không chịu nghe trong một thời gian dài, vì ông rất yêu quý con trai mình, và lo sợ rằng vận rủi nào đó cũng có thể xảy ra với anh, và khiến anh không thể trở về.

However, at last it was agreed he should go, for he would not rest at home; and as he came to the wood, he met the fox, and heard the same good counsel.

Tuy nhiên, cuối cùng mọi người đồng ý để anh đi, vì anh không chịu ở yên ở nhà; và khi anh đến khu rừng, anh gặp con cáo, và nghe được lời khuyên tốt tương tự.

But he was thankful to the fox, and did not attempt his life as his brothers had done; so the fox said, 'Sit upon my tail, and you will travel faster.'

Nhưng anh biết ơn con cáo, và không toan hại mạng nó như các anh của mình đã làm; vì vậy con cáo nói, 'Hãy ngồi lên đuôi ta, và ngươi sẽ đi nhanh hơn.'

So he sat down, and the fox began to run, and away they went over stock and stone so quick that their hair whistled in the wind.

Vậy là anh ngồi xuống, và con cáo bắt đầu chạy, và họ lao đi qua gốc cây và đá cuội nhanh đến mức tóc tai họ rít lên trong gió.

When they came to the village, the son followed the fox's counsel, and without looking about him went to the shabby inn and rested there all night at his ease.

Khi họ đến làng, người con trai làm theo lời khuyên của con cáo, và không nhìn ngó xung quanh, đi thẳng đến quán trọ tồi tàn và nghỉ ngơi thoải mái ở đó suốt đêm.
