When they had brought him there he sent to beg the princess to come to him ; but she did not recognise him till he had shown her the ring she had given him . Then she remembered him , and took him with her into the castle . When she learnt what had befallen him she called together all the sorceresses in the country in order that they should tell her where the eyes were . At last she found one who declared that she knew where they were , and that she could restore them . This sorceress then went straight to the castle where dwelt the sister and the Drakos , and gave something to the dogs to eat which caused the eyes to reappear . She took them with her and put them back in Janni 's head , so that he saw as well as before . Then he returned to the castle of the Drakos , whom he slew as well as his sister ; and , taking his dogs with him , went back to the princess and they were immediately married . THE PARTNERSHIP OF THE THIEF AND THE LIAR . There was once upon a time a thief , who , being out of a job , was wandering by himself up and down the seashore . As he walked he passed a man who was standing still , looking at the waves . ' I wonder , ' said the thief , addressing the stranger , ` if you have ever seen a stone swimming ? ' ` Most certainly I have , ' replied the other man , ` and , what is more , I saw the same stone jump out of the water and fly through the air . ' ` This is capital , ' replied the thief . ` You and I must go into partnership . We shall certainly make our fortunes . Let us start together for the palace of the king of the neighbouring country . When we get there , I will go into his presence alone , and will tell him the most startling thing I can invent . Then you must follow and back up my lie . ' Having agreed to do this , they set out on their travels . After several days ' journeying , they reached the town where the king 's palace was , and here they parted for a few hours , while the thief sought an interview with the king , and begged his majesty to give him a glass of beer .
` That is impossible , ' XXXXX the king , ` as this year there has been a failure of all the crops , and of the hops and the vines ; so we have neither wine nor beer in the whole kingdom . '
