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. In the morning came the fox

again and met him as he was beginning his journey, and said, 'Go

straight forward, till you come to a castle, before which lie a

whole troop of soldiers fast asleep and snoring: take no notice

of them, but go into the castle and pass on and on till you come

to a room, where the golden bird sits in a wooden cage; close by

it stands a beautiful golden cage; but do not try to take the

bird out of the shabby cage and put it into the handsome one,

otherwise you will repent it.' Then the fox stretched out his

tail again, and the young man sat himself down, and away they

went over stock and stone till their hair whistled in the wind.
