As they came to the castle, all was as the fox had said, and at twelve o'clock the young man met the princess going to the bath and gave her the kiss, and she agreed to run away with him, but begged with many tears that he would let her take leave of her father.

Khi họ đến lâu đài, mọi thứ đều đúng như con cáo đã nói, và vào lúc mười hai giờ chàng trai gặp công chúa đang đi tắm và trao cho nàng nụ hôn, và nàng đồng ý bỏ trốn cùng chàng, nhưng nài nỉ trong nước mắt rằng chàng hãy để nàng từ biệt cha nàng.

At first he refused, but she wept still more and more, and fell at his feet, till at last he consented; but the moment she came to her father's house the guards awoke and he was taken prisoner again.

Lúc đầu chàng từ chối, nhưng nàng càng khóc nhiều hơn, và quỳ xuống dưới chân chàng, cho đến khi cuối cùng chàng đồng ý; nhưng ngay khi nàng đến nhà cha nàng thì các lính gác thức dậy và chàng lại bị bắt làm tù nhân.

Then he was brought before the king, and the king said, 'You shall never have my daughter unless in eight days you dig away the hill that stops the view from my window.'

Sau đó chàng bị dẫn ra trước mặt nhà vua, và nhà vua nói, 'Ngươi sẽ không bao giờ lấy được con gái ta trừ khi trong tám ngày ngươi đào đi ngọn đồi che khuất tầm nhìn từ cửa sổ của ta.'

Now this hill was so big that the whole world could not take it away: and when he had worked for seven days, and had done very little, the fox came and said.

Ngọn đồi này to lớn đến nỗi cả thế giới cũng không thể dời đi được: và khi chàng đã làm việc suốt bảy ngày mà chỉ làm được rất ít, con cáo đến và nói.

'Lie down and go to sleep; I will work for you.'

'Hãy nằm xuống và ngủ đi; ta sẽ làm việc thay cho ngươi.'

And in the morning he awoke and the hill was gone; so he went merrily to the king, and told him that now that it was removed he must give him the princess.

Và vào buổi sáng chàng thức dậy thì ngọn đồi đã biến mất; vì vậy chàng vui vẻ đến gặp nhà vua, và nói với ông rằng nay ngọn đồi đã được dời đi thì ông phải trao công chúa cho chàng.

Then the king was obliged to keep his word, and away went the young man and the princess; and the fox came and said to him, 'We will have all three, the princess, the horse, and the bird.'

Rồi nhà vua buộc phải giữ lời hứa, và chàng trai cùng công chúa ra đi; và con cáo đến nói với chàng, 'Chúng ta sẽ có đủ cả ba, công chúa, con ngựa, và con chim.'

'Ah!

'Ồ!
