' said the young man, 'that would be a great thing, but how can you contrive it?'

年轻人说，"那将是一件好事，但你怎么能安排好呢？"

'If you will only listen,' said the fox, 'it can be done.

狐狸说，"你只要听我说，这件事是可以做到的。

When you come to the king, and he asks for the beautiful princess, you must say, "Here she is!"

当你来到国王面前，他要求你交出美丽的公主时，你必须说，"她在这里！"

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.

然后他会非常高兴；你将骑上他们要赠给你的金马，伸出手与他们告别；但最后要与公主握手。

Then lift her quickly on to the horse behind you; clap your spurs to his side, and gallop away as fast as you can.'

然后迅速将她抱上马，坐在你身后；用马刺夹紧马腹，尽快策马奔驰。"

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.'

一切都顺利进行；然后狐狸说，"当你来到关着鸟的城堡时，我将与公主留在门口，你骑马进去与国王交谈；当他看到那是正确的马时，他会把鸟拿出来；但你必须保持镇定，说你想看看它，以确认它是否是真正的金鸟；当你把它拿到手中时，立刻骑马离开。"

This, too, happened as the fox said; they carried off the bird, the princess mounted again, and they rode on to a great wood.

这件事也如狐狸所说的那样发生了；他们带走了鸟，公主再次骑上马，他们向一片大树林骑去。

Then the fox came, and said, 'Pray kill me, and cut off my head and my feet.

这时狐狸来了，说道，"请杀了我，砍掉我的头和我的脚。
