` Thanks , Prince Ivan ! ' cried Koshchei the Deathless , ` now you will sooner see your own ears than Marya Morevna ! ' and out of the window he flew in the shape of a terrible whirlwind . And he came up with the fair Princess Marya Morevna as she was going her way , laid hold of her and carried her off home with him . But Prince Ivan wept full sore , and he arrayed himself and set out a-wandering , saying to himself , ` Whatever happens , I will go and look for Marya Morevna ! ' One day passed , another day passed ; at the dawn of the third day he saw a wondrous palace , and by the side of the palace stood an oak , and on the oak sat a falcon bright . Down flew the Falcon from the oak , smote upon the ground , turned into a brave youth , and cried aloud : ` Ha , dear brother-in-law ! how deals the Lord with you ? ' Out came running the Princess Marya , joyfully greeted her brother Ivan , and began inquiring after his health , and telling him all about herself . The Prince spent three days with them ; then he said : ' I can not abide with you ; I must go in search of my wife , the fair Princess Marya Morevna . ' ` Hard will it be for you to find her , ' answered the Falcon . ` At all events leave with us your silver spoon . We will look at it and remember you . ' So Prince Ivan left his silver spoon at the Falcon 's , and went on his way again . On he went one day , on he went another day , and by the dawn of the third day he saw a palace still grander than the former one and hard by the palace stood an oak , and on the oak sat an eagle . Down flew the Eagle from the oak , smote upon the ground , turned into a brave youth , and cried aloud : ` Rise up , Princess Olga ! Hither comes our brother dear ! ' The Princess Olga immediately ran to meet him , and began kissing him and embracing him , asking after his health , and telling him all about herself . With them Prince Ivan stopped three days ; then he said : ' I can not stay here any longer . I am going to look for my wife , the fair Princess Marya Morevna . '
` Hard will it be for you XXXXX find her , ' replied the Eagle .
