wine　like　that　which　was　drunk　by　the　king。　　The　lion　said；　I　will　go
  with　him；　and　see　that　I　get　the　right　wine。　　Then　he　went　down　with
  the　cup…bearer；　and　when　they　were　below；　the　cup…bearer　wanted　to
  draw　him　some　of　the　common　wine　that　was　drunk　by　the　king's
  servants；　but　the　lion　said；　stop；　I　will　taste　the　wine　first；　and
  he　drew　half　a　measure；　and　swallowed　it　down　at　one　draught。　　No；
  said　he；　that　is　not　right。　　The　cup…bearer　looked　at　him　askance；
  but　went　on；　and　was　about　to　give　him　some　out　of　another　barrel
  which　was　for　the　king's　marshal。　　The　lion　said；　stop；　let　me　taste
  the　wine　first；　and　drew　half　a　measure　and　drank　it。　　That　is
  better；　but　still　not　right；　said　he。　　Then　the　cup…bearer　grew　angry
  and　said；　how　can　a　stupid　animal　like　you　understand　wine。　　But　the
  lion　gave　him　a　blow　behind　the　ears；　which　made　him　fall　down　by　no
  means　gently；　and　when　he　had　got　up　again；　he　conducted　the　lion
  quite　silently　into　a　little　cellar　apart；　where　the　king's　wine　lay；
  from　which　no　one　ever　drank。　　The　lion　first　drew　half　a　measure　and
  tried　the　wine；　and　then　he　said；　that　may　possibly　be　the　right
  sort；　and　bade　the　cup…bearer　fill　six　bottles　of　it。　　And　now　they
  went　upstairs　again；　but　when　the　lion　came　out　of　the　cellar　into
  the　open　air；　he　reeled　here　and　there；　and　was　rather　drunk；　and　the
  cup…bearer　was　forced　to　carry　the　wine　as　far　as　the　door　for　him；
  and　then　the　lion　took　the　handle　of　the　basket　in　his　mouth；　and
  took　it　to　his　master。　　The　huntsman　said；　behold；　sir　host；　here
  have　I　bread；　meat；　vegetables；　confectionery　and　wine　such　as　the
  king　has；　and　now　I　will　dine　with　my　animals；　and　he　sat　down　and
  ate　and　drank；　and　gave　the　hare；　the　fox；　the　wolf；　the　bear；　and
  the　lion　also　to　eat　and　to　drink；　and　was　joyful；　for　he　saw　that
  the　king's　daughter　still　loved　him。　　And　when　he　had　finished　his
  dinner；　he　said；　sir　host；　now　have　I　eaten　and　drunk；　as　the　king
  eats　and　drinks；　and　now　I　will　go　to　the　king's　court　and　marry　the
  king's　daughter。
  Said　the　host；　how　can　that　be；　when　she　already　has　a　betrothed
  husband；　and　when　the　wedding　is　to　be　solemnized　to…day。　　Then　the
  huntsman　drew　forth　the　handerchief　which　the　king's　daughter　had
  given　him　on　the　dragon's　hill；　and　in　which　were　folded　the
  monster's　seven　tongues；　and　said；　that　which　I　hold　in　my　hand　shall
  help　me　to　do　it。　　Then　the　innkeeper　looked　at　the　handkerchief；　and
  said；　whatever　I　believe；　I　do　not　believe　that；　and　I　am　willing　to
  stake　my　house　and　courtyard　on　it。　　The　huntsman；　however；　took　a
  bag　with　a　thousand　gold　pieces；　put　it　on　the　table；　and　said；　I
  stake　that　on　it。
  Now　the　king　said　to　his　daughter；　at　the　royal　table；　what　did　all
  the　wild　animals　want；　which　have　been　coming　to　you；　and　going　in
  and　out　of　my　palace。　　She　replied；　I　may　not　tell　you；　but　send　and
  have　the　master　of　these　animals　brought；　and　you　will　do　well。　　The
  king　sent　a　servant　to　the　inn；　and　invited　the　stranger；　and　the
  servant　came　just　as　the　huntsman　had　laid　his　wager　with　the
  innkeeper。　　Then　said　he；　behold；　sir　host；　now　the　king　sends　his
  servant　and　invites　me；　but　I　do　not　go　in　this　way。
  And　he　said　to　the　servant；　I　request　the　lord　king　to　send　me　royal
  clothing；　and　a　carriage　with　six　horses；　and　servants　to　attend　me。
  When　the　king　heard　the　answer；　he　said　to　his　daughter；　what　shall　I
  do。　　She　said；　cause　him　to　be　fetched　as　he　desires　to　be；　and　you
  will　do　well。　　Then　the　king　sent　royal　apparel；　a　carriage　with　six
  horses；　and　servants　to　wait　on　him。　　When　the　huntsman　saw　them
  coming；　he　said；　behold；　sir　host；　now　I　am　fetched　as　I　desired　to
  be；　and　he　put　on　the　royal　garments；　took　the　handerchief　with　the
  dragon's　tongues　with　him；　and　drove　off　to　the　king。　　When　the　king
  saw　him　coming；　he　said　to　his　daughter；　how　shall　I　receive　him。
  She　answered；　go　to　meet　him　and　you　will　do　well。　　Then　the　king
  went　to　meet　him　and　led　him　in；　and　his　animals　followed。　　The　king
  gave　him　a　seat　near　himself　and　his　daughter；　and　the　marshal；　as
  bridegroom；　sat　on　the　other　side；　but　no　longer　knew　the　huntsman。
  And　now　at　this　very　moment；　the　seven　heads　of　the　dragon　were
  brought　in　as　a　spectacle；　and　the　king　said；　the　seven　heads　were
  cut　off　the　dragon　by　the　marshal；　wherefore　to…day　I　give　him　my
  daughter　to　wife。　　The　the　huntsman　stood　up；　opened　the　seven
  mouths；　and　said；　where　are　the　seven　tongues　of　the　dragon。　　Then
  was　the　marshal　terrified；　and　grew　pale　and　knew　not　what　answer　he
  should　make；　and　at　length　in　his　anguish　he　said；　dragons　have　no
  tongues。　　The　huntsman　said；　liars　ought　to　have　none；　but　the
  dragon's　tongues　are　the　tokens　of　the　victor；　and　he　unfolded　the
  handerchief；　and　there　lay　all　seven　inside　it。　　And　he　put　each
  tongue　in　the　mouth　to　which　it　belonged；　and　it　fitted　exactly。
  Then　he　took　the　handkerchief　on　which　the　name　of　the　princess　was
  embroidered；　and　showed　it　to　the　maiden；　and　asked　to　whom　she　had
  given　it；　and　she　replied；　to　him　who　killed　the　dragon。　And　then　he
  called　his　animals；　and　took　the　collar　off　each　of　them　and　the
  golden　clasp　from　the　lion；　and　showed　them　to　the　maiden　and　asked
  to　whom　they　belonged。　　She　answered；　the　necklace　and　golden　clasp
  were　mine；　but　I　divided　them　among　the　animals　who　helped　to　conquer
  the　dragon。　　Then　spoke　the　huntsman；　when　I；　tired　of　the　fight；　was
  resting　and　sleeping；　the　marshal　came　and　cut　off　my　head。　　Then　he
  carried　away　the　king's　daughter；　and　gave　out　that　it　was　he　who　had
  killed　the　dragon；　but　that　he　lied　I　prove　with　the　tongues；　the
  handkerchief；　and　the　necklace。
  And　then　he　related　how　his　animals　had　healed　him　by　means　of　a
  wonderful　root；　and　how　he　had　traveled　about　with　them　for　one　year；
  and　had　at　length　come　there　and　had　learnt　the　treachery　of　the
  marshal　by　the　inn…keeper's　story。　　Then　the　king　asked　his　daughter；
  is　it　true　that　this　man　killed　the　dragon。
  And　she　answered；　yes；　it　is　true。　　Now　can　I　reveal　the　wicked　deed
  of　the　marshal；　as　it　has　come　to　light　without　my　connivance；　for　he
  wrung　from　me　a　promise　to　be　silent。　　For　this　reason；　however；　did
  I　make　the　condition　that　the　marriage　should　not　be　solemnized　for　a
  year　and　a　day。　　Then　the　king　bade　twelve　councillors　be　summoned
  who　were　to　pronounce　judgment　on　the　marshal；　and　they　sentenced　him
  to　be　torn　to　pieces　by　four　bulls。
  The　marshal　was　therefore　executed；　but　the　king　gave　his　daughter　to
  the　huntsman；　and　named　him　his　viceroy　over　the　whole　kingdom。　　The
  wedding　was　celebrated　with　great　joy；　and　the　young　king　caused　his
  father　and　his　foster…father　to　be　brought；　and　loaded　them　with
  treasures。　　Neither　did　he　forget　the　inn…keeper；　but　sent　for　him
  and　said；　behold；　sir　host；　I　have　married　the　king's　daughter；　and
  your　house　and　yard　are　mine。
  The　host　said；　yes；　according　to　justice　it　is　so。　　But　the　young
  king　said；　it　shall　be　done　according　to　mercy；　and　told　him　that　he
  should　keep　his　house　and　yard；　and　gave　him　the　thousand　pieces　of
  gold　as　well。
  And　now　the　young　king　and　queen　were　thoroughly　happy；　and　lived　in
  gladness　together。　　He　often　went　out　hunting　because　it　was　a
  delight　to　him；　and　the　faithful　animals　had　to　accompany　him。　　In
  the　neighborhood；　however；　there　was　a　forest　of　which　it　was
  reported　that　it　was　haunted；　and　that　whosoever　did　but　enter　it　did
  not　easily　get　out　again。　　But　the　young　king　had　a　great　inclination
  to　hunt　in　it；　and　let　the　old　king　have　no　peace　until　he　allowed
  him　to　do　so。　　So　he　rode　forth　with　a　great　following；　and　when　he
  came　to　the　forest；　he　saw　a　snow…white　hind；　and　said　to　his　men；
  wait　here　until　I　return；　I　want　to　hunt　that　beautiful　creature；　and
  he　rode　into　the　forest　after　it；　followed　only　by　his　animals。　　The
  attendants　halted　and　waited　until　evening；　but　he　did　not　return；　so
  they　rode　home；　and　told　the　young　queen　that　the　young　king　had
  followed　a　white　hind　into　the　enchanted　forest；　and　had　not　come
  back　again。　　Then　she　was　in　the　greatest　concern　about　him。　　He；
  however；　had　still　continued　to　ride　on　and　on　after　the　beautiful
  wild　animal；　and　had　never　been　able　to　overtake　it；　when　he　thought
  he　was　near　enough　to　aim；　he　instantly　saw　it　bound　away　into　the
  far　distance；　and　at　length　it　vanished　altogether。　　And　now　he
  perceived　that　he　had　penetrated　deep　into　the　forest；　and　blew　his
  horn　but　he　received　no　answer；　for　his　attendants　could　not　hear　it。
  And　as　night　was　falling；　he　saw　that　he　could　not　get　home　that　day；
  so　he　dismounted　from　his　horse；　lighted　himself　a　fire　near　a　tree；
  and　resolved　to　spend　the　night　by　it。　　While　he　was　sitting　by　the
  fire；　and　his　animals　also　were　lying　down　beside　him；　it　seemed　to
  him　that　he　heard　a　human　voice。　　He　looked　round；　but　could
  perceived　nothing。　　Soon　afterwards；　he　again　heard　a　groan　as　if
  from　above；　and　then　he　looked　up；　and　saw　an　old　woman　sitting　in
  the　tree；　who　wailed　unceasingly；　oh；　oh；　oh；　how　cold　I　am。　　Said
  he；　come　down；　and　warm　yourself　if　you　are　cold。　　But　she　said；　no；
  your　animals　will　bite　me。　　He　answered；　they　will　do　you　no　harm；
  old　mother；　do　come　down。　　She；　however；　was　a　witch；　and　said；　I
  will　throw　down　a　wand　from　the　tree；　and　if　you　strike　them　on　the
  back　with　it；　they　will　do　me
