If you wish to marry her , you must first set her free , and this I will help you to do . I will give you this little bell : if you ring it once , the King of the Eagles will appear ; if you ring it twice , the King of the Foxes will come to you ; and if you ring it three times , you will see the King of the Fishes by your side . These will help you if you are in any difficulty . Now farewell , and heaven prosper your undertaking . ' She handed him the little bell , and there disappeared hut and all , as though the earth had swallowed her up . Then it dawned on the Prince that he had been speaking to a good fairy , and putting the little bell carefully in his pocket , he rode home and told his father that he meant to set the daughter of the Flower Queen free , and intended setting out on the following day into the wide world in search of the maid . So the next morning the Prince mounted his fine horse and left his home . He had roamed round the world for a whole year , and his horse had died of exhaustion , while he himself had suffered much from want and misery , but still he had come on no trace of her he was in search of . At last one day he came to a hut , in front of which sat a very old man . The Prince asked him , ` Do you not know where the Dragon lives who keeps the daughter of the Flower Queen prisoner ? ' ` No , I do not , ' answered the old man . ` But if you go straight along this road for a year , you will reach a hut where my father lives , and possibly he may be able to tell you . ' The Prince thanked him for his information , and continued his journey for a whole year along the same road , and at the end of it came to the little hut , where he found a very old man . He asked him the same question , and the old man answered , ` No , I do not know where the Dragon lives . But go straight along this road for another year , and you will come to a hut in which my father lives . I know he can tell you . ' And so the Prince wandered on for another year , always on the same road , and at last reached the hut where he found the third old man . He put the same question to him as he had put to his son and grandson ; but this time the old man answered , ` The Dragon lives up there on the mountain , and he has just begun his year of sleep . For one whole year he is always awake , and the next he sleeps . But if you wish to see the Flower Queen 's daughter go up the second mountain : the Dragon 's old mother lives there , and she has a ball every night , to which the Flower Queen 's daughter goes regularly . '
