The king still would not give him the promised reward, and made a

third demand. Before the wedding the tailor was to catch him a

wild boar that made great havoc in the forest, and the huntsmen

should give him their help. 'Willingly,' said the tailor, 'that

is child's play!' He did not take the huntsmen with him into the

forest, and they were well pleased that he did not, for the wild

boar had several times received them in such a manner that they

had no inclination to lie in wait for him. When the boar

perceived the tailor, it ran on him with foaming mouth and

whetted tusks, and was about to throw him to the ground, but the

hero fled and sprang into a chapel which was near and up to the

window at once, and in one bound out again. The boar ran after

him, but the tailor ran round outside and shut the door behind

it, and then the raging beast, which was much too heavy and

awkward to leap out of the window, was caught.
