他遇见了狐狸，狐狸给了他好的建议；但当他来到两家客栈时，他的大哥正站在窗边，那里正在欢闹，大哥叫他进去；他经不住诱惑，就进去了，以同样的方式忘记了金鸟和自己的国家。
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.
时光又流逝了，最小的儿子也想出发去广阔的世界寻找金鸟；但他的父亲很长一段时间都不愿意答应，因为他非常疼爱这个儿子，害怕他也遭遇不幸，不能回来。
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.
然而，最终还是同意他出发了，因为他在家里坐不住；当他来到树林时，他遇见了狐狸，听到了同样的好建议。
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.
但他对狐狸心存感激，没有像他的哥哥们那样图谋伤害它；于是狐狸说：'坐在我的尾巴上，你走得会更快。'
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.'
于是他坐了下来，狐狸开始奔跑，他们越过树桩和石头飞速前进，快得头发在风中呼呼作响。
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.
当他们来到村子时，儿子遵从了狐狸的建议，没有四处张望，径直走进简陋的客栈，在那里舒舒服服地休息了一整夜。
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.
