He jumped up , full of rage , and chased away the big cat , and then he turned to comfort the little one , when his heart nearly burst with joy to find that it was Koma . At first Koma did not know him again , he had grown so large and stately ; but when it dawned upon her who it was , her happiness knew no bounds . And they rubbed their heads and their noses again and again , while their purring might have been heard a mile off . Paw in paw they appeared before the princess , and told her the story of their life and its sorrows . The princess wept for sympathy , and promised that they should never more be parted , but should live with her to the end of their days . By-and-bye the princess herself got married , and brought a prince to dwell in the palace in the park . And she told him all about her two cats , and how brave Gon had been , and how he had delivered her from her enemy the serpent . And when the prince heard , he swore they should never leave them , but should go with the princess wherever she went . So it all fell out as the princess wished ; and Gon and Koma had many children , and so had the princess , and they all played together , and were friends to the end of their lives . How the Dragon Was Tricked From Griechtsche und Albanesische Marchen , von J. G. von Hahn . -LRB- Leipzig : Engelmann . 1864 . -RRB- Once upon a time there lived a man who had two sons but they did not get on at all well together , for the younger was much handsomer than his elder brother who was very jealous of him . When they grew older , things became worse and worse , and at last one day as they were walking through a wood the elder youth seized hold of the other , tied him to a tree , and went on his way hoping that the boy might starve to death . However , it happened that an old and humpbacked shepherd passed the tree with his flock , and seeing the prisoner , he stopped and said to him , ` Tell me , my son why are you tied to that tree ? ' ` Because I was so crooked , ' answered the young man ; ` but it has quite cured me , and now my back is as straight as can be . ' ' I wish you would bind me to a tree , ' exclaimed the shepherd , ` so that my back would get straight . ' ` With all the pleasure in life , ' replied the youth . ` If you will loosen these cords I will tie you up with them as firmly as I can . ' This was soon done , and then the young man drove off the sheep , leaving their real shepherd to repent of his folly ; and before he had gone very far he met with a horse boy and a driver of oxen , and he persuaded them to turn with him and to seek for adventures .
By these and many other tricks he soon became so celebrated XXXXX his fame reached the king 's ears , and his majesty was filled with curiosity to see the man who had managed to outwit everybody .
