"我马上怀疑事情不妙，便匆匆穿上衣服，命人备好马，只带随从一人，飞速向森林赶去。跑着，跑着，不意随从跌断了腿，落后了，追不上我。我却一刻也不敢停，拼命追赶，很快就瞧见了陌生人，他正牵着一头漂亮的牡鹿朝我走来。我质问他把哥哥弄到哪去了，他又从哪儿牵来这牡鹿，说时只见两股泪水从牡鹿那双大大的眼中流了出来。他非但不回答我，反而开始大笑起来，见此情形我勃然大怒，拔出x枪，对准那可恶的家伙就是一枪。奇怪的是子弹竟给弹了回来，直接射入了我的马的头颅。我吓昏跌倒在地，陌生人口中念念有词，使我完全失去了知觉。

　　"当我醒来时，发现自己竟躺在了洞内这口水晶棺材中。术士又来了，声称已把我哥哥变成了一头牡鹿。我们的城堡及里面的一切已被他施法缩小成现在这模样，并被装在另一个水晶棺内。我的臣民则被化成了一股烟，装进了瓶中。他还一再声称只要我肯屈服，一切均可恢复原状。对他来说也无需别的，只要打开棺盖就行。我仍不动摇，他走了，把我给监禁在此，接着我便睡着了。梦中我的眼前景象万千，其中最令人欣慰的是见到一位年青人来解救了我。当我睁开眼时，一眼便见到了你，瞧，我果然梦已成真了!帮我再实现其它的梦想吧!当务之急是我们得先把装着城堡的水晶棺挪到那块大石上去。"

　　等他们把东西放好后，石块便载着少女与裁缝穿过洞顶的窟隆，一起往上升去，到达了上面的洞厅，从这儿他们可以轻易地踏入野外。 这时 ，少女一把掀开了棺盖，只见那些曾是缩小的农舍便神奇地扩张开来，顷刻间便恢复了原状。 少女和裁缝又重新走回下面的洞厅，再次把那些盛着烟雾的瓶罐搬上石块，没等少女完全打开瓶盖，里面突然喷出一股蓝烟，随即变成了一个个活生生的人。 她立刻认出那是她原来的仆人和臣民，更使她快乐的是，她竟见到了她的哥哥，他刚才把变成牛形的巫师杀死了。 自己便恢复了原形，正从林中走来。 就在这一天，少女也履行了她的承诺，嫁给了幸运的小裁缝。水晶棺材英文版：

　　The glass coffin　　Let no one ever say that a poor tailor cannot do great things and win high honors; all that is needed is that he should go to the right smithy, and what is of most consequence, that he should have good luck. A civil, adroit tailor's apprentice once went out travelling, and came into a great forest, and, as he did not know the way, he lost himself. Night fell, and nothing was left for him to do, but to seek a bed in this painful solitude. He might certainly have found a good bed on the soft moss, but the fear of wild beasts let him have no rest there, and at last he was forced to make up his mind to spend the night in a tree. He sought out a high oak, climbed up to the top of it, and thanked God that he had his goose with him, for otherwise the wind which blew over the top of the tree would have carried him away.
