The next morning the hunt began anew, and when the fawn heard the hunting-horns and the tally-ho of the huntsmen he could rest no longer, and said, "Little sister, let me out, I must go"

The sister opened the door and said, "Now, mind you must come back at night and say the same words." When the King and his hunters saw the fawn with the golden collar again, they chased him closely, but he was too nimble and swift for them. This lasted the whole day, and at last the hunters surrounded him, and one of them wounded his foot a little, so that he was obliged to limp and to go slowly. Then a hunter slipped after him to the little house, and heard how he called out," Little sister, let me in," and saw the door open and shut again after him directly., The hunter noticed all this carefully, went to the King, and told him all he had seen and heard. Then said the King, "To-morrow we will hunt again."

But the sister was very terrified when she saw that her fawn was wounded. She washed his foot, laid cooling leaves round it, and said," Lie down on your bed, dear fawn, and rest, that you may be soon well." The wound was very slight, so that the fawn felt nothing of it the next morning. And when he heard the noise of the hunting outside, he said, "I cannot stay in, I must go after them; I shall not be taken easily again!"

第二天，围猎又开始了。 当小鹿再次听到号角声以及猎手们发出的"嗬嗬嗬"的喊叫声时，它再也安静不下来了。 它说："姐姐，让我出去吧！我一定要出去！"它的姐姐给它开了门，对它说："但是你晚上一定要回来，而且还要讲那句暗语！"
当国王和猎手们再次看到这头带着金项圈的小鹿时，他们又一起朝它追去，只是它对他们来说太快、太机灵了。 他们追了一整天，终于在黄昏时把它围住了。一个猎手还把它的脚射伤了一点，它只好一瘸一拐地慢慢向前跑。一个猎手悄悄跟着它来到了小屋前，听到它说："我的小姐姐，让我进去吧！"猎手看到小屋的门开了一下，小鹿进去后便立刻又关上了。猎手把这一切看在眼里，回去后把自己的所见所闻告诉了国王。国王说："我们明天再去打猎。"
小姐姐看到小鹿受伤后害怕极了，她给它洗去了身上的血迹，在它的伤口敷上药草，说："亲爱的小鹿，快去床上躺下，好好养伤。"但是那伤口很轻，小鹿第二天早上就没有任何感觉了。当它又听到外面打猎的叫喊声时，它说："我再也忍不住了。我一定要去那里。我不会让他们轻而易举地抓住我的。"
