The sister began to weep, and said, "I know you will be killed, and I left alone here in the forest, and forsaken of everybody. I cannot let you go!"

"Then I shall die here with longing," answered the fawn;" when I hear the sound of the horn I feel as if I should leap out of my skin."

Then the sister, seeing there was no help for it, unlocked the door with a heavy heart, and the fawn bounded away into the forest, well and merry.

When the King saw him, he said to his hunters, "Now, follow him up all day long till the night comes, and see that you do him no hurt." So as soon as the sun had gone down, the King said to the huntsmen:" Now, come and show me the little house in the wood." And when he got to the door he knocked at it, and cried, "Little sister, let me in!" Then the door opened, and the King went in, and there stood a maiden more beautiful than any he had seen before. The maiden shrieked out when she saw, instead of the fawn, a man standing there with a gold crown on his head. But the King looked kindly on her, took her by the hand, and said, "Will you go with me to my castle, and be my dear wife?"

姐姐哭着说："他们这次肯定会杀死你的，然后就剩下我一个人孤孤单单、无依无靠地在这森林里，我不能让你出去。""那我在屋里会憋死的，"小鹿说，"当我听到号角的声音时，我仿佛感到自己的心脏都要跳出来了。"做姐姐的再也没有别的办法，只好带着沉重的心情为它打开门。 小鹿快乐地朝森林跑去。
国王看到小鹿时，对报信的那个猎手说："你过来。带我到那座小屋去。"到了小屋前，他敲门叫道："我的小姐姐，让我进去吧！"门一打开，国王便走了进去，看到屋里有一位他所见过的最美丽的姑娘。 看到进来的不是小鹿，而是一个头上带着金王冠的男人，姑娘很害怕，可是国王和善地望着她，向她伸出手去说："你愿意跟我回去，做我亲爱的妻子吗？"
