On the following Sunday the youngest princess was to be married to a brother of the king.
But she did not wish to wed him, and she said that she would not unless he brought her the golden hen and the golden chickens.
Once more the beggar obtained these, and on Sunday when the wedding was to be held, they went and played coits, and the beggar went riding on a white horse and wearing a white garment, and as he was playing he threw the coit at his uncle who was to wed the youngest princess, and killed him, and they took him to the palace, and the king said to him
Why have you killed my brother?
And the prince told him everything that had happened, and as soon as the king heard the story, he gave orders that the two eldest brothers should be put to death, and he gave the youngest princess to Oristes for a wife.
And they were married, and they lived happily forever afterwards.

The wise princess said.
Once upon a time in a certain kingdom there lived a king and a queen.
They had three sons who were all young, unmarried, and so brave that no fairy tale could tell, no pen could write down how brave they were.
The youngest was called Ivan the King's son.
The king spoke to his children thus
My dear children, take each of you an arrow, draw your bow at a venture, and shoot in various directions, and there, where the arrow shall fall, go take a wife.
The eldest brother drew his bow at a venture, and the arrow fell on a nobleman's house, right opposite the woman's attic.
The second arrow fell in the yard of a merchant's house on a flight of steps, and on the steps stood a beautiful girl, the merchant's daughter.
The youngest brother drew his bow at a venture, and the arrow fell into a dirty marsh, and a frog caught it.
Ivan the King's son said, How can I marry a frog?
She is not my size.
