30 POLISH FAIRY TALES sorceress, and not only made the

king himself unhappy, but proved most unkind to his children, whom
she wished out of the way, so that her own little son might inherit
the kingdom. One day, when the king was far away, at war against
his enemies, the queen went into her stepchildren's apartments, and
pronounced some magical words — on which every one of the
twelve princes flew away in the shape of an eagle, and the princess
was changed into a dove. The queen looked out of the window, to
see in what direction they would fly, when she saw right under the
window an old man, with a beard as white as snow. "What are you
here for, old man?" she asked. " To be witness of your deed," he
answered. "Then you saw it?" " I saw it." "Then be what I
command!" She whispered some magical words. The old man
disappeared in a blaze of sunshine ; and the queen, as she stood
there, dumb with terror, was changed into a basilisk. The basilisk ran
off in fright ; trying to hide herself underground. But her glance was
so deadly, that it killed every one she looked at ; so that all the
people in the palace were soon dead, including her own son, whom
she slew by merely looking at him. And this once populous and

THE EAGLES 31 happy royal residence quickly became an

uninhabited ruin, which no one dared approach, for fear of the
basilisk lurking in its underground vaults. Meanwhile the princess,
who had been changed into a dove, flew after her brothers the
eagles, but not being able to overtake them, she rested under a
wayside cross, and began cooing mournfully. "What are you grieving
for, pretty dove?" asked an old man, with a snow-white beard, who
just then came by. " I am grieving for my poor dear father, who is
fighting in the wars far away ; for my loved brothers, who have
flown away from me into the clouds. I am grieving also for myself.
Not long ago I was a happy princess ; and now I must wander over
the world as a dove, to hide from the birds of prey — and be parted
for ever from my dear father and brothers ! " "You may grieve and
weep, little dove; but do not lose hope," said the old man. " Sorrow
is only for a time, and all will come right in the end." So saying he
stroked the little dove, and she at once regained her natural shape.
She kissed the old man's hand in her gratitude, saying : " How can I
ever thank you enough ! But since you are so kind, will you not tell
me how to rescue my brothers?"

32 POLISH FAIRY TALES The old man gave her an ever-

growing loaf, and said : "This loaf is enough to sustain, not only you,
but a thousand people for a thousand years, without ever
diminishing. Go towards the sunset, and weep your tears into this
little bottle. And when it is full . . ." And the old man told her what
else to do, blessed her, and disappeared. The princess travelled on
towards the sunset ; and in about a year she reached the boundary
of the next world, and stood before an iron door, where Death was
keeping guard with his scythe. "Stop, princess !" he said ; "You can
proceed no further, for you are not yet parted by death from your
own world." " But what am I to do ? " she asked. " Must I go back
without my poor brothers ? " "Your brothers," said Death, "fly here
every day in the guise of eagles. They want to reach the other side
of this door, which leads into the other world ; for they hate the one
they live in ; nevertheless they, and you also, must remain there,
until your time be come. Therefore every day I must compel them to
go back, which they can do, because they are eagles. But how are
you going to get back yourself ?— look there ! " The princess looked
around her, and wept bitterly. For though she had not perceived this
before, nor seen how she

THE EAGLES 33 got there, she saw now that she was in a
deep abyss, shut in on all sides by such high precipices, that she
wondered how her brothers, even with eagle wings, could fly to the
top. But remembering what the mysterious old man had said she
took courage, and began to pray and weep, till she had filled the
little bottle with her tears. Soon she heard the sound of wings over
her head, and saw twelve eagles flying. The eagles dashed
themselves against the iron portal, beating their wings upon it, and
imploring Death to open it to them. But Death only threatened them
with his scythe, saying : "Hence! ye enchanted princes! you must
fulfil your penance on earth, till I come for you myself." The eagles
were about to turn and fly, when all at once they perceived their
sister. They came round her, and caressed her hands lovingly with
their beaks. She at once began to sprinkle them with her tears from
the lachrymatory ; and in one moment the twelve eagles were
changed back into the twelve princes, and joyfully embraced their
sister. The princess then fed them all round from her evergrowing
loaf; but when their hunger was appeased they began to be troubled
as to how they were to ascend from the abyss, since they had no
longer eagles' wings to fly up.

34 POLISH FAIRY TALES But the princess knelt down and

prayed: " Bird of heavenly pity here, By each labour, prayer and tear,
Come in thine unvanquished power, Come and aid us in this hour ! "
And all at once there shot down from heaven to the depth of the
abyss a ray of sunshine, on which descended a gigantic bird, with
rainbow wings, a bright sparkling crest, and peacock's eyes all over
his body, a golden tail, and silvery breast. "What are your
commands, princess?" asked the bird. "Carry us from this threshold
of eternity to our own world." " I will, but you must know, princess,
that before I can reach the top of this precipice with you on my
back, three days and nights must pass ; and I must have food on
the way, or my strength will fail me, and I shall fall down with you to
the bottom, and we shall all perish." " I have an ever-growing loaf,
which will suffice both for you and ourselves," replied the princess. "
Then climb upon my back, and whenever I look round, give me
some bread to eat." The bird was so large that all the princes, and
the princess in the midst of them, could easily find place on his back,
and he began to fly upwards. He flew higher and higher, and
whenever he looked round at her, she gave him bits of the loaf, and
he flew on, and upwards.
The text on this page is estimated to be only 28.62%

THE EAGLES 35 So they went on steadily for two nights

and days ; but upon the third day, when they were hoping in a short
time to view the summit of the precipice, and to land upon the
borders of this world, the bird looked round as usual for a piece of
the loaf. The princess was just going to break off some to give him,
when a sudden violent gust of wind from the bottom of the abyss
snatched the loaf from her hand, and sent it whistling downwards.
Not having received his usual meal the bird became sensibly weaker,
and looked round once more. The princess trembled with fear ; she
had nothing more to give him, and she felt that he was becoming
exhausted. In utter desperation she cut off a piece of her flesh, and
gave it to him. Having eaten this the bird recovered strength, and
flew upwards faster than before ; but after an hour or two he looked
round once more. So she cut off another piece of her flesh ; the bird
seized it greedily, and flew on so fast that in a few minutes he
reached the ground at the top of the precipice. When they alighted,
and he asked her : " Princess, what were those two delicious
morsels you gave me last ? I never ate anything so good before." "
They were part of my flesh, I had nothing else for you," replied the
princess in a faint voice, for she was swooning away with pain and
loss of blood.

36 POLISH FAIRY TALES The bird breathed upon her

wounds ; and the flesh at once healed over, and grew again as
before. Then he flew up again to heaven, and was lost in the clouds.
The princess and her brothers resumed their journey, this time
towards the sunrise, and at last arrived in their own country, where
they met their father, returning from the wars. The king was coming
back victorious over his enemies, and on his way home had first
heard of the sudden disappearance of his children and of the queen,
and how his palace was tenanted only by a basilisk with a
deathdealing glance. He was therefore most surprised and overjoyed
to meet his dear children once more, and on the way his daughter
told him all that had come to pass. When they got back to the
palace the king sent one of his nobles with a looking-glass down into
the underground vaults. The basilisk saw herself reflected in this
mirror, and her own glance slew her immediately. They gathered up
the remains of the basilisk, and burnt them in a great fire in the
courtyard, afterwards scattering the ashes to the four winds. When
this was done the king, his sons, and his daughter, returned to live in
their former home and were all as happy as could be ever after.

THE BRIDE CARRIED OFF BY THE WHIRLWIND

The text on this page is estimated to be only 29.43%

N a far-off country, beyond the sea and the mountains,

there lived a king and queen, with a beautiful daughter, who was
called Princess Ladna. A great many princes came to woo her ; but
she liked only one of them, called Prince Dobrotek ; so they
confessed their love for one another to the king, who gave his
consent, and the wedding-day was fixed. Now among the princess's
rejected suitors there was one, who though he had changed himself
into the shape of a prince, in order to come to court and make love
to her, really was an ugly dwarf, only seven inches high, but with a
beard more than seven feet long, and a great hump on his back. He
was so offended with the princess for refusing him, that he
determined to carry her off; so he watched his opportunity. 37

38 POLISH FAIRY TALES As the young couple, with all their

followers and their guests, were leaving the palace to go to church,
a violent wind began to blow, a regular whirlwind, raising a column
of sand, and lifting the princess off her feet. She was carried up over
the clouds, to the top of some inaccessible mountains, and dropped
down into a magnificent palace, with a golden roof, and a high wall
all round. After a while the princess woke up from the fainting-fit
into which she had fallen. She looked round the splendid apartment
in which she was, and came to the conclusion that some young and
handsome prince must have carried her off. In the room there was a
table ready spread ; all the plates and dishes, as well as the knives,
forks, and spoons, were of silver and gold ; and the dinner itself was
so good, that in spite of her grief and terror, she could not refrain
from tasting it ; and she had no sooner tasted, than she ate, till her
appetite was appeased. Then the doors opened, and there came in a
company of negroes, bearing a great chair, in which sat the ugly
dwarf, with the long beard and the great hump. The dwarf now
began to pay his court to the princess, and explain how he had
carried her off in the guise of the whirlwind, because he loved her so
much. But she would not listen to him, and gave him a sounding
slap with her open hand right in his face, so that sparks danced
before his
The text on this page is estimated to be only 28.91%

THE WHIRLWIND 39 eyes. Of course he was in a great

passion ; but for love of her he managed to keep his temper, and
turned round to leave the room. But in his haste he caught his feet
in his long beard, and was thrown down on the threshold, and in his
fall he dropped his cap, which he was holding in one hand. The
negroes helped him again into the chair, and carried him out ; but
the princess jumped up, locked the door, and took up the cap that
was lying on the ground. She put it on ; and went to the glass to see
how she looked in it. But what was her surprise to find that she
could not see herself, till she took it off ! So she came to the wise
conclusion that this was an invisible cap ; at which she was highly
delighted; she put on the cap again, and began to walk about the
room. The door opened once more with a loud noise, and the dwarf
came in with his long beard thrown back and twisted all round his
hump, to be out of the way. But not seeing either his cap, or the
princess, he guessed what had happened ; so full of wild despair he
began to rush madly about the room, knocking himself against the
tables and chairs, while the princess made her escape through the
door, and ran out into the garden. The garden was very extensive,
and full of beautiful fruittrees ; so she lived upon these fruits, and
drank the water of a spring in the garden for some time. She used to
make fun of the dwarfs impotent rage. Sometimes when he rushed
The text on this page is estimated to be only 29.07%
accurate

40 POLISH FAIRY TALES wildly about the garden, she

would tease him by taking off the invisible cap, so that he saw her
before him, in all her beauty ; but when he made a rush after her
she would put it on again, and become invisible to him ; she would
then throw cherry-stones at him, come close to him, and laugh
loudly : and then run away again. One day, when she was playing
about in this manner, her cap got caught in the boughs of a tree,
and fell upon a gooseberry bush. The dwarf saw it, and seized hold
of the princess with one hand, and of the cap with the other. But
just then — from the summit of the mountain, above the garden
itself, was heard the sound of a trumpet-challenge, three times
repeated. At this the dwarf trembled with rage ; but first breathing
upon the princess, he put her to sleep with his breath, then placed
his invisible cap on her head. Having done this he seized his two-
edged sword, and flew up into the clouds, so as to strike the knight
who had challenged him from above, and destroy him at one stroke.
But where did this knight come from ? When Princess Ladna had
been carried off on her weddingday by the whirlwind, there was the
greatest consternation among all the bystanders. Her distracted
father and her bridegroom rushed about in all directions, and sent
courtiers everywhere in search of her ; but the princess had been
neither seen nor heard of, nor was any trace left of her.

THE WHIRLWIND 41 The king (very unnecessarily) told

Prince Dobrotek that if he did not get back his daughter, the
princess, he would not only put him to death, but would reduce his
whole country to ashes. He also told all the princes there that
whoever should bring back his daughter should have her to wife,
and receive half of his kingdom into the bargain. When they heard
this they all got to horse, and galloped in various directions ; among
them Prince Dobrotek. He went on for three days, never stopping for
food or rest ; but on the fourth day, at dusk, he felt overcome by
sleep ; so he let his horse go free in a meadow, and himself lay
down on the grass. Then all at once he heard a piercing shriek, and
straight before him beheld a hare, and an owl perched upon it — its
claws digging into the poor creature's side. The prince caught up the
first thing that lay near him, and aimed at the screech-owl, so truly
that he killed it on the spot, and the hare ran up to him, like a tame
creature, licked his hands, and ran away. Then the prince saw that
the thing he had thrown at the owl was a human skull. And it spoke
to him, in these words : "Prince Dobrotek, I thank you for what you
have done for me. When I was alive I committed suicide, and was
therefore condemned to lie unburied at this cross-way, till I should
be the means of saving life. I have lain here

seven years ; and Heaven knows how much longer I should have
had to remain, if you had not chanced to throw me at the screech-
owl, and so saved the life of the poor hare. Now bury me, so that I
may lie peacefully in the ground at this same place, and I will tell
you how to summon the Grey Seer-horse, with the golden mane,
who will always help you in case of need. Go out into a plain, and
without looking behind you, call out : " Grey Seer-horse, with golden
mane ! Like a bird — and not like steed, On the blast — and not the
mead, Fly thou hither unto me ! " Thus having spoken, the head was
silent ; but a blue light shot up from it towards the sky ; it was the
soul of the deceased, which having now expiated its sin by its long
imprisonment in the skull, had attained heaven. The prince then dug
a grave, and buried the skull. He then called out : " Grey Seer-horse,
with golden mane ! Like a bird — and not like steed, On the blast —
and not the mead, Do thou hither fly to me ! " The wind rose, the
lightning flashed, the thunder roared, and the wonderful horse with
the golden mane appeared. He flew as fast as the storm-wind,

clouds of smoke from his mouth. He stood still, and said in human
tones : " What are your commands, Prince Dobrotek ? " " I am in
trouble ; I wish you to help me." And he told him all that had
occurred. "Creep in at my left ear," said the horse, "and creep out
again at the right." So the prince crept in at the horse's left ear, and
came out again at the right one, all clad in golden armour. He also
found himself miraculously increased in strength, so that when he
stamped on the ground it trembled ; and when he shouted a storm
arose, which shook the leaves from the trees. Then he asked the
horse : "What is to be done next?" "Your betrothed, Princess Ladna,"
said the horse, "was carried off by the seven-inch-high dwarf, with
the seven-footlong beard ; he is a powerful magician ; he dwells
beyond the seven seas, among inaccessible mountains. He can only
be conquered by the All-Cutting Sword, which sword is jealously
guarded by his own brother, the Giant-Head, with basilisk eye. To
this Giant-Head we must therefore go." Prince Dobrotek mounted on
horseback, and they flew like an arrow, over lands and seas, high
mountains and wide oceans. They stopped at length upon a wide
plain
The text on this page is estimated to be only 27.76%

44 POLISH FAIRY TALES strewn with bones, before a

moving mountain. And the horse said : "This moving mountain,
which you see before you, is the giant's head with the basilisk eyes ;
and the bones strewn so thickly hereabouts prove how deadly his
looks are — so be careful. He is now asleep from the heat of the sun
; but only two steps before him lies the sword, with which alone you
can conquer your enemy. Lie down along my back, so that his glance
cannot reach you through my neck and mane ; but when you get
near to it, lay hold of the sword ; when you have it you will not only
be safe from his basilisk glances, but you will even have the giant's
head at your mercy." And the horse drew near lightly, and the prince
bent down, and secured the wonderful sword ; but he shouted so
loud that the Giant-Head woke up, sniffed hard, and looked about
with his bloodshot eyes ; and seeing the wonderful sword in the
prince's hand, he called out : " Sir knight ! are you weary of the
world, that you court speedy death ? " "You need not boast like that,
you empty head!" replied Prince Dobrotek. "Your looks cannot hurt
me now; and you shall die by this All-Cutting Sword! But I would
first know who, and what you are." "Then I confess, prince," replied
the head; "that I am in your power ; but be merciful to me, for I am
worthy

THE WHIRLWIND 45 of pity. I am a knight of the race of

giants, and were it not for the envy of my brother, I should still have
been happy. He was the black sheep of our family, and was born an
ugly dwarf, with a long beard ; and my handsome giant-like
proportions caused him to hate me bitterly. His only good point is his
great strength, and it all resides in his long beard, and so long as it
is not cut he cannot be conquered, and this can only be done by
that sword, which you now hold. "One day, being bent upon my
destruction, he said to me : ' Brother, do not refuse to help me. I
have read in my books of magic that beyond the mountains, on a
plain lies buried a certain sword, whereby a knight, seeking for his
betrothed, shall compass the destruction of us both ; let us therefore
go and dig it up, so that we shall escape the threatened doom ! ' "To
this I agreed. I took a hundred-year-old pine — torn up from its
roots — on one arm, and carried my brother on my other. We set out
; he showed me the spot, and I dug up the sword, on this same
plain. Then we began to quarrel about who should possess it. After a
long dispute he said : ' We were best decide it by lot, brother. Let
each of us lay his ear to the ground, and whoever first hears the
sound of the evening bell shall have the sword.'
The text on this page is estimated to be only 28.47%

46 POLISH FAIRY TALES " So he laid his ear to the ground,

and I mine. I listened; but heard nothing ; and he meantime, having
got hold of the sword, crept up to me, and cut my head from my
shoulders. " My headless trunk, left unburied, rotted away, and the
grass grew over it ; but my head, endowed with supernatural life by
the malicious dwarf, my brother, was left here, with charge to guard
this sword, and kill every one who came near with my deadly glance.
After many centuries you have won it ; so I implore you to cut off
his seven-foot beard, and make him into mince-meat ; and avenge
me." "You shall be avenged," said the prince; "and at once. Grey
Seer-Horse, carry me to the kingdom of the dwarf magician, with the
seven-foot-long beard." So they set off at once, flying with lightning
speed through the air, over the seas and over the forests. In an hour
or two they halted on the summit of a high mountain, and the horse
said : " These mountains are the kingdom of the dwarf magician,
who carried off your betrothed, and they are both now in the garden
; challenge him to fight." Prince Dobrotek sounded a challenge three
times, and the dwarf, as we have seen, flew up into the air, so as to
swoop down upon his antagonist, unperceived of him. All at once
the prince heard a murmuring sound above him, and he saw when
he looked up, the dwarf soaring

— for he had the magic power of increasing his size and strength —
with his sword drawn, ready to fall upon him. The prince sprang
aside, and the dwarf came down, with such an impetus, that his
head and neck were rammed into the ground. The prince
dismounted, seized the dwarf by the beard, wound it about his left
hand, and began to sever it with the All-Cutting Sword. The dwarf
saw that he had to do with no feather-bed knight ; so he tugged
with all his strength, and flew up again into the clouds ; but the
prince, holding fast with his left hand to the beard, kept on severing
it with his sword, so that he had nearly cut half of it through ; and
the dwarf became weaker and weaker the more hair he lost, so he
began to cry for mercy. " Drop down to the ground, off which you
took me," said the prince. The dwarf dropped down slowly, but the
prince cut off the remainder of his beard and threw him — when
thus deprived of his charms and his strength alike — on to the
ground, wreathed the severed beard round his own helmet, and
entered the palace. The invisible servants of the dwarf, seeing their
master's beard, wreathed about the prince's helmet, threw open all
the doors to him at once.

48 POLISH FAIRY TALES He went through all the rooms ;

but not finding his princess anywhere, went into the garden,
traversing all the paths and lawns, and calling her name. He could
find her nowhere. But thus running from one place to another he
chanced to touch the invisible cap ; he caught hold of it, and pulled
it away from where it was, on the head of the princess, and saw her
at once in all her loveliness, but fast asleep. Overcome with joy, he
called her by her name ; but she had been cast into such a deep
sleep by the dwarf's poisonous breath, that he could not rouse her.
He took her up in his arms, put the invisible cap into his pocket, also
picking up the wicked dwarf, whom he carried along with him. He
then mounted his horse, flew like an arrow, and in a few minutes
stood before the Giant-Head, with the basilisk eyes. He threw the
dwarf into its open jaws, where he was ground at once into powder
; the prince then cut up the monstrous head into small pieces, and
scattered them all over the plain. Thus having got rid of both the
dwarf and the giant, the prince rode on with the sleeping princess,
upon the GoldenMane horse, and at sunset they came to the same
cross-roads, where he had first summoned him. " Here, prince, we
must part," said the Golden-Mane ; " but here in the meadow is your

right ear, and come out at my left." The prince did as he was told,
and came out as he was before. His own horse recognized him, and
came running with a joyful neigh to meet his master. The prince was
tired out with the long journey, so, having laid down his betrothed
wife, still sleeping, on the soft grass, and covered her up from the
cold, he laid down himself and went to sleep. But that very night,
one of Princess Ladna's rejected suitors, riding that way, saw by the
light of the moon those two asleep, and he recognized in them the
princess, and the prince, his fortunate rival. So first stabbing the
latter through with his sabre, he carried off the princess, and bore
