I will do anything for thee . ' ` Then carry me into the other world , ' he replied . ` Make me a large vessel with a partition in the middle , ' she said ; ` catch all sorts of game , and put them into one half of it , and into the other half pour water ; so that there may be meat and drink for me . ' All this the Prince did . Then the bird -- having taken the vessel on her back , with the Prince sitting in the middle of it -- began to fly . And after flying some distance she brought him to his journey 's end , took leave of him , and flew away back . But he went to the house of a certain tailor , and engaged himself as his servant . So much the worse for wear was he , so thoroughly had he altered in appearance , that nobody would have suspected him of being a Prince . Having entered into the service of this master , the Prince began to ask what was going on in that country . And his master replied : ` Our two Princes -- for the third one has disappeared -- have brought away brides from the other world , and want to marry them , but those brides refuse . For they insist on having all their wedding-clothes made for them first , exactly like those which they used to have in the other world , and that without being measured for them . The King has called all the workmen together , but not one of them will undertake to do it . ' The Prince , having heard all this , said , ` Go to the King , master , and tell him that you will provide everything that 's in your line . ' ` However can I undertake to make clothes of that sort ? I work for quite common folks , ' says his master . ` Go along , master ! I will answer for everything , ' says the Prince . So the tailor went . The King was delighted that at least one good workman had been found , and gave him as much money as ever he wanted . When his tailor had settled everything , he went home .
And the Prince said to him : ` Now then , pray to God , and lie down XXXXX sleep ; to-morrow all will be ready . '
