But no sooner had they reached the grass than she vanished . The Prince sought for her in vain , and at last in despair sat down on a big stone and contemplated his sad fate . As he sat thus lost in thought , he noticed an eagle flying over his head . Then he suddenly bethought him of his little bell , and taking it out of his pocket he rang it once . In a moment he heard a rustling sound in the air beside him , and the King of the Eagles sank at his feet . ' I know what you want of me , ' the bird said . ` You are looking for the Mother Dragon 's mare who is galloping about among the clouds . I will summon all the eagles of the air together , and order them to catch the mare and bring her to you . ' And with these words the King of the Eagles flew away . Towards evening the Prince heard a mighty rushing sound in the air , and when he looked up he saw thousands of eagles driving the mare before them . They sank at his feet on to the ground and gave the mare over to him . Then the Prince rode home to the old Mother Dragon , who was full of wonder when she saw him , and said , ` You have succeeded to-day in looking after my mare , and as a reward you shall come to my ball to-night . ' She gave him at the same time a cloak made of copper , and led him to a big room where several young he-dragons and she-dragons were dancing together . Here , too , was the Flower Queen 's beautiful daughter . Her dress was woven out of the most lovely flowers in the world , and her complexion was like lilies and roses . As the Prince was dancing with her he managed to whisper in her ear , ' I have come to set you free ! ' Then the beautiful girl said to him , ` If you succeed in bringing the mare back safely the third day , ask the Mother Dragon to give you a foal of the mare as a reward . ' The ball came to an end at midnight , and early next morning the Prince again led the Mother Dragon 's mare out into the meadow . But again she vanished before his eyes . Then he took out his little bell and rang it twice .
In a moment the King of the Foxes stood before him and said : ' I know already what you want , and will summon all the foxes XXXXX the world together to find the mare who has hidden herself in a hill . '
