They reported to the Prince that Suliman , for that was the tutor 's name , had boasted of having helped Celia to escape , and they bribed three men to say that Suliman himself had told them about it . The Prince , in great anger , sent his foster-brother with a number of soldiers to bring his tutor before him , in chains , like a criminal . After giving this order he went to his own room , but he had scarcely got into it when there was a clap of thunder which made the ground shake , and the Fairy Truth appeared suddenly before him . `` I promised your father , '' said she sternly , `` to give you good advice , and to punish you if you refused to follow it . You have despised my counsel , and have gone your own evil way until you are only outwardly a man ; really you are a monster -- the horror of everyone who knows you . It is time that I should fulfil my promise , and begin your punishment . I condemn you to resemble the animals whose ways you have imitated . You have made yourself like the lion by your anger , and like the wolf by your greediness . Like a snake , you have ungratefully turned upon one who was a second father to you ; your churlishness has made you like a bull . Therefore , in your new form , take the appearance of all these animals . '' The Fairy had scarcely finished speaking when Prince Darling saw to his horror that her words were fulfilled . He had a lion 's head , a bull 's horns , a wolf 's feet , and a snake 's body . At the same instant he found himself in a great forest , beside a clear lake , in which he could see plainly the horrible creature he had become , and a voice said to him : `` Look carefully at the state to which your wickedness has brought you ; believe me , your soul is a thousand times more hideous than your body . '' Prince Darling recognized the voice of the Fairy Truth and turned in a fury to catch her and eat her up if he possibly could ; but he saw no one , and the same voice went on : `` I laugh at your powerlessness and anger , and I intend to punish your pride by letting you fall into the hands of your own subjects . '' The Prince began to think that the best thing he could do would be to get as far away from the lake as he could , then at least he would not be continually reminded of his terrible ugliness . So he ran toward the wood , but before he had gone many yards he fell into a deep pit which had been made to trap bears , and the hunters , who were hiding in a tree , leaped down , and secured him with several chains , and led him into the chief city of his own kingdom . On the way , instead of recognizing that his own faults had brought this punishment upon him , he accused the Fairy of being the cause of all his misfortunes , and bit and tore at his chains furiously . As they approached the town he saw that some great rejoicing was being held , and when the hunters asked what had happened they were told that the Prince , whose only pleasure it was to torment his people , had been found in his room , killed by a thunder-bolt -LRB- for that was what was supposed to have become of him -RRB- . Four of his courtiers , those who had encouraged him in his wicked doings , had tried to seize the kingdom and divide it between them , but the people , who knew it was their bad counsels which had so changed the Prince , had cut off their heads , and had offered the crown to Suliman , whom the Prince had left in prison . This noble lord had just been crowned , and the deliverance of the kingdom was the cause of the rejoicing `` For , '' they said , `` he is a good and just man , and we shall once more enjoy peace and prosperity . ''
Prince Darling roared with anger when he heard this ; but it was still worse XXXXX him when he reached the great square before his own palace .
