No sooner had his head begun to nod than Yellow Lily placed the slumber-pin over his nose to be sure that he could not wake up. Then she set the prince free, and they spent the evening as before, except that there was much more merriment. On the following morning the giant opened the tank and ordered the prince to climb out. "I have a task for you to do that even a prince cannot do," he said.
"What a useful girl you are!" cried the Prince, beside himself with joy and admiration. All day long they visited until Yellow Lily said that she must go, for she heard her father's footsteps a league away, and he would be there in two minutes. When the giant saw that the prince had found the slumber-pin, he was greatly surprised.
Yellow Lily sat down at the table and threw two grains of wheat into the air. They lit upon the table and turned into a male and a female pigeon. Immediately the former began to peck at his mate, almost driving her from the table. To the surprise of all, the female pigeon shrieked: "You didn't treat me thus on the day I cleaned the stable for you and found the slumber-pin."
