'Ah, good woman, we have a heavy task before us, answered Bensurdatu, 'we are bound to carry the king's daughters back to the palace! 'Oh, unhappy creatures, cried she, 'you know not what you are doing! The king's daughters were covered by a thick cloud, and no one knows where they may now be.
And the generals above heard, and drew her gently up. They then unfastened the cord and threw it back into the river, and in a few moments the second princess stood beside her sister. So now there were left only Bensurdatu and the youngest princess. 'Dear Bensurdatu, said she, 'do me a kindness, and let them draw you up before me. I dread the treachery of the generals.
When the second princess saw them, she made a sign to them to hide themselves, for the giant was showing symptoms of waking. 'I smell man's flesh! murmured he, sleepily. 'Now, how could any man get down here? asked she; 'go to sleep again. And as soon as he closed his eyes, Bensurdatu stole out from his corner, and struck such a blow at his head that it flew far, far away.
Then Bensurdatu turned to her, and said: 'And if I were Bensurdatu, would you give the same answer to me? And as she stood silently gazing at him, he added: 'Yes, I am Bensurdatu; and this is my story.
And the wedding feast was ordered, and rejoicings were held for three days over the marriage of Bensurdatu and the youngest princess. The Magician's Horse Once upon a time, there was a king who had three sons.
As Bensurdatu came forward it twisted all its seven heads in his direction, and then made a quick dart to snatch him within its grasp. But Bensurdatu drew his sword and laid about him, till the seven heads were rolling on the floor.
Then the princess opened a door, and Bensurdatu passed through, and found himself in a hall that was even larger than the other two. And there stood the youngest sister, chained fast to the wall, and before her was stretched a serpent with seven heads, horrible to see.
As the breath went out of his body the husbands of the two eldest daughters resumed their proper shapes, and, sending for their mother-in-law, whose sorrow was so unexpectedly turned into joy, they had a great feast, and the youngest sister was rich to the end of her days with the treasures she found in the cave, collected by the monster. The Story of Bensurdatu
The two generals, who stood by listening, were filled with terror at her words, and wished to return immediately; but Bensurdatu stood firm, and said: 'Now we have got so far we must carry the thing through.
The princess could not find words to thank Bensurdatu for what he had done, and she too placed in his hand a golden crown. 'Now show me where your youngest sister is, said he, 'that I may free her also. 'Ah! that I fear you will never be able to do, sighed they, 'for she is in the power of a serpent with seven heads. 'Take me to him, replied Bensurdatu. 'It will be a splendid fight.
