the woods. There they found an abandoned cottage and
lived together, far from any danger.
One day, however, the king was hunting in the
woods, and he spied the fawn, which could not resist the
urge to wander away from the cottage. The king and his
hunters chased the fawn all the way back home. There,
the king followed it into the cottage, where he found a
young girl stroking the frightened animal. She was so
beautiful and gentle that the king fell in love with her at
once. He asked her to be his wife, and his words caused
the maiden to cry for joy. When one of her tears fell on
the fawn, it changed back to her brother once more. Their
goodness and love had overcome the witch's evil spell,
and they lived safely and happily with the king for ever
after.
