you as they do me； we will go in by opposite gates； and arrive at the
same time from the two sides in the aged king's presence。 So they
separated； and at the same time came the watchmen from the one door
and from the other； and announced that the young king and the animals
had returned from the chase。
The king said； it is not possible； the gates lie quite a mile apart。
In the meantime； however； the two brothers entered the courtyard of
the palace from opposite sides； and both mounted the steps。 Then the
king said to the daughter； say which is your husband。
Each of them looks exactly like the other； I cannot tell。 Then she
was in great distress； and could not tell； but at last she remembered
the necklace which she had given to the animals； and she sought for
and found her little golden clasp on the lion； and she cried in her
delight； he who is followed by this lion is my true husband。 Then
the young king laughed and said； yes； he is the right one； and they
sat down together to table； and ate and drank； and were merry。 At
night when the young king went to bed； his wife said； why have you
for these last nights always laid a two…edged sword in our bed。 I
thought you had a wish to kill me。 Then he knew how true his brother
had been。
