And she tended the child, as she was accustomed to do, before she vanished. The King dared not speak to her, but he watched again the following night, and heard her say,

"My child my fawn this once I come to see,
This once I come, and now the end must be."

Then the King could contain himself no longer, but rushed towards her, saying, "You are no other than my dear wife!"

Then she answered, "Yes, I am your dear wife," and in that moment, by the grace of heaven, her life returned to her, and she was once more well and strong. Then she told the King the snare that the wicked witch and her daughter had laid for her.

The King had them both brought to judgment, and sentence was passed upon them. The daughter was sent away into the wood, where she was devoured by the wild beasts, and the witch was burned, and ended miserably. And as soon as her body was in ashes the spell was removed from the fawn, and he took human shape again; and then the sister and brother lived happily together until the end.

她像往常一样给孩子喂了奶，然后就走了。 国王不敢和她说话，可第二天晚上仍然去守夜。 只听王后在说：
"我的孩子怎么办？我的小鹿怎么办？
这是我最后一次来这里，以后再也不能来了。 "
国王听到这里，再也无法克制自己。他朝她跑去，说："你肯定是我亲爱的妻子！"她回答："是的，我是你亲爱的妻子。"话刚出口，她就立刻恢复了生命，而且，靠着上帝的恩典，她变得非常健康，脸色非常红润。
她把那邪恶的巫婆和巫婆的女儿对她犯下的罪行告诉了国王。国王立刻命令审判她俩，对她们作出了判决。女儿被带到了森林里，被野兽撕成了碎片；老巫婆被投进火里可悲地烧成了灰烬。就在老巫婆被烧成灰烬的一刹那，小鹿也变了，重新恢复了人的形状。从此，姐姐和弟弟一直幸福地生活在一起，直至白发千古。
