So he picked up the leaves and laid one of them on the mouth of his dead wife, and the two others on her eyes. And hardly had he done this than the blood stirred in her veins, rose into her pale face, and coloured it again. Then she drew breath, opened her eyes, and said, "Ah, God, where am I?" - "Thou art with me, dear wife," he answered, and told her how everything had happened, and how he had brought her back again to life. Then he gave her some wine and bread, and when she had regained her strength, he raised her up and they went to the door and knocked, and called so loudly that the sentries heard it, and told the King. The King came down himself and opened the door, and there he found both strong and well, and rejoiced with them that now all sorrow was over. The young King, however, took the three snake-leaves with him, gave them to a servant and said, "Keep them for me carefully, and carry them constantly about thee; who knows in what trouble they may yet be of service to us!"

于是，他捡起叶子，在他亡妻的嘴上放了一片，又把另外两片放在她的眼睛上。 他刚把叶子放好，血液便开始在她的血管里流动，慢慢涌上了她苍白的脸颊，使它重新变得绯红。 接着，她吸了口气，睁开眼睛，说："啊，上帝，我这是在哪里呀？""你和我在一起，亲爱的妻子，"他回答，然后把所发生的一切，以及他救活她的经过告诉了她。他给她喝了点酒，又给她吃了点面包。等她重新恢复精力后，他扶她站起来走到墓门口，又是敲门又是叫喊。卫兵们听到后便去报告国王。国王亲自来打开墓门，发现他俩健康而富有活力，不禁为悲伤的事情终于结束而欣喜万分。年轻人把那三片蛇叶带了出来，把它们交给一个侍从，说："给我小心保管好，要时刻带在身边。天知道我们还会遇到什么麻烦呢？说不定我们还用得着它们呢！"
