If you marry me you will be much happier with me than with your brother . But you must first go into the sitting-room and look in the cupboard . There you will find three bottles . In one of them there is a healing ointment which you must put on my chin to heal the wound ; then if I drink the contents of the second bottle it will make me well , and the third bottle will make me stronger than I ever was before . Then , when your brother comes back from the wood with his beasts you must go to him and say , `` Brother , you are very strong . If I were to fasten your thumbs behind your back with a stout silk cord , could you wrench yourself free ? '' And when you see that he can not do it , call me .

But the prince spoke and said : ` Have patience for one minute . I would like before I die to blow three blasts on my hunting horn -- one in this room , one on the stairs , and one in the courtyard . ' So the robber consented , and the prince blew the horn . At the first blast , the fox , which was asleep in the cage in the courtyard , awoke , and knew that his master needed help .
So he awoke the wolf XXXXX flicking him across the eyes with his brush .
