She sent him to the hollow where, in three rooms of three chests guarded by terrible dogs, he could collect copper coins, silver and gold, having first planted the dogs on the old woman’s checkered apron. For this she asked me to bring her a flint located there. After completing everything according to the instructions of the old woman, the soldier cut off the adviser’s head and took the flint himself. Walking through all the money, and with it, and losing all new friends, the soldier again began to live poorly.

On the day of execution, the apprentice shoemaker brought the flint to the soldier for four copper coins.

The soldiers asked the lucky man to be king and take the princess to wife. Dogs were also present at the wedding table “and made big eyes with surprise.”

In the morning the princess told the king her dream, as she rode on a dog, and then the soldier kissed her. The maid of honor, on the order of the queen, decided to track the princess to the gate of the soldier’s house and put a cross on it.

She hid the bag with the croup of princess on her back, making a hole there. Groats poured into the road. The kidnapper was found and sent to prison. On the day of execution, the assistant shoemaker brought his soldier for four copper coins. The last desire of the soldier was to smoke. When he clicked the flint, then immediately appeared three dogs, who rushed to the crowd. People asked the soldier to become king and take the princess to wife.
