The Greek Princess and the young Gardener (3) [Princess and Gardener]

The Greek Princess and the young Gardener (3)

The gardener's first son was out one day when he met a fox.

" If you want to find the golden bird, " said the fox, " go along this road and take lodging with the poor man and his wife. "

So the boy went along the road, but opposite the poor man's house was a house with people drinking and dancing, and the gardener's first son went there for some fun.

The same thing happened to the gardener's second son, and he joined his brother.

When the third son met the fox, the animal gave him the same advice.
Unlike his brothers, the young lad listened to what the fox had to say, and sought lodgings with the poor couple ; and the next morning went on his way.

Soon he met a fox once more.

" Well done for taking my advice, " said the fox.
" Do you know where to find the golden bird ? "

" I have no idea, " said the young man.

" She is in the palace of the King of Spain, some two hundred miles from here, " said the fox.

The gardener's son was sad to hear that the journey was to be so long.

" Do not despair, " said the fox.
" Hop on my tail, we shall soon be there. "

So off they went.
To the young gardener's surprise, they soon got to the King od Spain's palace.

The fox turned the lad again and told him where in the palace to find the golden bird.
" Get the bird out quickly, and do not look for the other treasure, " said the fox.
" Then you will be safe. "
