Are you not grieved that the prince
is ill and that the doctors have given
him up?"
And the other bird said to him, "The
doctors don't know it, but the prince
may yet be healed"

what medicine may he be healed?"
And his companion answered him:
"They must kill us, and take us and a
little water from that spring over there,
and make an ointment and annoint his
throat where he is wounded, and he will
be healed"
The maiden, when she heard these
words (for she knew the language of
doves from the golden wand) understood
what the birds said. Then she fired q
gun and killed both of them, and took a
little water from the spring they spoke
of and made the ointment, and went to
the palace and stood below and cried,
"A good physician! a good physician!
and good physic, tool" Then the king

cut off our heads"
But the "doctor" anointed the prince
with the ointment, and he got better;
and after two days he began to speak.
She applied the ointment many times,
and in eight days she had healed him
and sent him out to hunt. When his
father saw him he was very pleased, and
said to the doctor" "What good thing
do you wish me to do to you for the good
you have done to me?"
And the "doctor" said, II wish for
nothing else from your majesty except
that you should make feast for mo, and
call to it all the rulers of India"
Then the king said to him, "What you
ask for is nothing to me-" And he be.
gan to make ready for the feast, and call
ed all the rulers of India, and gave a
very great banquet. And when they
had eaten end drank, the "doctor" said
to the king, IBID them be still, for have
a tale to tell"
Then the king commanded silence, and
the "dostor" degan to tell his tale as we
know it. And when he told how the
maiden had turned doctor he declared
himself, and said, 81 am that maiden
and the bride of the prince, and it was
not I that wounded him, but my
sister,"
