" And the Prince heard the lament, called the witch to him, and said : " Wife, hast thou heard this thing, this thing unheard of ? " — " Thou dost only fancy it ! Hi ! my serving-men, drive me this duck out of the courtyard ! " They began driving her out, but she flew round and round, and again said to her children : " Kra, kra, my darling loveys ! Kra, kra, my little doveys ! The old, old witch your bane hath been, The old, old witch, that cruel snake, That cruel snake that lurks unseen ; Your... father from you she did take, 164 EUSSIAN FAIRY TALES. Your father dear, my husband true ; Us in the running stream she threw. She changed us into ducks so white, And prospers as if wrong were right ! " The Prince felt that there was something wrong here, and he cried : " Bring me that white duck hither ! " They all hastened to fulfil his command, but the white duck flew round in a circle, and none could catch her. At last the Prince himself went out on the balcony, and she flew upon his hands, and fell at his feet.
