Thereupon away fled the beast as before . The Prince caught it up , and again gave it three wounds . But all of a sudden , just as the Prince began chasing it for the fourth time , the beast fled to a great white stone , tilted it up , and escaped into the other world , crying out to the Prince : ` Then only will you overcome me , when you enter here . ' The Prince went home , told his father all that had happened , and asked him to have a leather rope plaited , long enough to reach to the other world . His father ordered this to be done . When the rope was made , the Prince called for his brothers , and he and they , having taken servants with them , and everything that was needed for a whole year , set out for the place where the beast had disappeared under the stone . When they got there , they built a palace on the spot , and lived in it for some time . But when everything was ready , the youngest brother said to the others : ` Now , brothers , who is going to lift this stone ? ' Neither of them could so much as stir it , but as soon as he touched it , away it flew to a distance , though it was ever so big -- big as a hill . And when he had flung the stone aside , he spoke a second time to his brothers , saying : ` Who is going into the other world , to overcome the Norka ? ' Neither of them offered to do so . Then he laughed at them for being such cowards , and said : ` Well , brothers , farewell ! Lower me into the other world , and do n't go away from here , but as soon as the cord is jerked , pull it up . ' His brothers lowered him accordingly , and when he had reached the other world , underneath the earth , he went on his way . He walked and walked . Presently he espied a horse with rich trappings , and it said to him : ` Hail , Prince Ivan ! Long have I awaited thee ! ' He mounted the horse and rode on -- rode and rode , until he saw standing before him a palace made of copper . He entered the courtyard , tied up his horse , and went indoors . In one of the rooms a dinner was laid out .
He sat down and dined , and then went XXXXX a bedroom .
