wished to be allowed to seek her, but his father would not let him do this, for Oristes was his favourite son.
But one day when his father was busy, Oristes stole out of the house and walked to the foot of the high mountain, whither the dragon had taken his little sister.
He wondered how he could climb it, and the task seemed difficult, indeed almost impossible, since the mountain was as smooth as glass.
While he was thus wondering he noticed two snakes which were fighting.
One was black, and the other was white.
And the black snake was getting the best of the fight, and on the verge of killing the white one.
Oristies at once killed the black snake, upon which the white snake said to him,
You have saved my life, said
What can I do for you in return?
I wish for nothing, said Oristi, save to be able to climb to the top of this mountain.
Catch hold of my tail, said the snake.
And I will take you to the top of the mountain.
And the snake wriggled up the mountain, pulling the prince after him, and as soon as they reached the top it disappeared.
Upon the top of the mountain, Oristes found a shepherd looking after the sheep of the dragon.
and he entered into the service of this shepherd as a herdsman.
One day when he was looking after the sheep, he met his sister, and said to her
I am your brother, Oristes, and I have come to set you free.
His sister was surprised to see him and frightened, and she said
We must be very careful and cunning, lest the dragon should find us out, for it is impossible to escape from this place, nor can we save ourselves from the dragon.
His rooms are full of princesses whom he has taken captive, and who cannot climb down the mountain.
