The Firebird (11)
The wolf told him to jump quickly on to his back behind Helen-the-beautiful and they set off at once in the direction of King Afron's palace.
During the journey, Prince Ivan and Princess Helen fell in love with each other.
When they arrived at the king's palace, Ivan burst into tears !
" Why are you crying ? " asked the wolf.
" Why shouldn't I cry, grey wolf, my dear friend ? I love Helen-the-beautiful, and now I have to give her to King Afron in exchange for the horse with the golden mane. "
" I have helped you through many difficulties and I will help you again, " said the wolf.
" I will change into the princess. You will take me to the King and receive the horse with the golden mane. When I know you are far enough away, think of me so I can turn back into a wolf and rejoin you. "
Having said this, the wolf took the form of the beautiful princess.
