But the faithful servant who had seen all that they did, unseen by them, unfastened a little boat from the ship, got into it, sailed after his master, and let the traitors go on their way. He fished up the dead body, and by the help of the three snake-leaves which he carried about with him, and laid on the eyes and mouth, he fortunately brought the young King back to life.

They both rowed with all their strength day and night, and their little boat flew so swiftly that they reached the old King before the others did. He was astonished when he saw them come alone, and asked what had happened to them. When he learnt the wickedness of his daughter he said, "I cannot believe that she has behaved so ill, but the truth will soon come to light," and bade both go into a secret chamber and keep themselves hidden from every one. 

可是那位忠心耿耿的侍从在暗中目睹了一切。 他从大船上解下一只小船，坐上去寻找他的主人，不再管那两个坏家伙驶向哪里。他从水里捞起年轻人的尸体，把身上带着的三片蛇叶分别放在他的眼睛和嘴巴上，幸运地救活了他。
他俩日夜奋力地划船，小船行驶如飞，结果他们比其他人先回到老国王的王宫。老国王看到他俩独自回来自然感到很惊讶，便问发生了什么事。他听说自己女儿的可恶行径后说："我不相信她会干出这样卑鄙的事情，但是很快就会真相大白的。"他命令他俩躲进一间密室，不要让任何人看见。
