![]() The prince complains that it is impossible to eat such a dish, and the bird retorts that so is a human woman to give birth to animals. They obey the bird's instructions and serve the dish with the diamonds. The bird insists it be brought with them, since the prince is their father, and to prepare a dish with diamonds inside and serve it to the prince. The prince takes notice of the grand festivities and decides to invite the three siblings to the palace. The three siblings return home with the bird and their adoptive father celebrates with a grand banquet. She gets the water and sprinkles it on her brothers. ![]() The bird answers she can find a magical healing water where two mountains clash against each other. She catches the bird and asks it how she can save her brothers. She meets the hermit, who instructs her on how to capture the bird. The girl, seeing her brothers's life tokens turning black, decides to get the bird herself. However, on the third quest, the brothers try to catch the bird, but the animal transforms both in stone. The older brothers journey and meet an old hermit on the way, who directs them to a place where two dragons guard the branch, and the place where 40 dragons guard the mirror. The nurse visits the three siblings and compliments their house, but it is lacking something: a branch that makes music, a magic mirror that can peer into the whole world, its princes and kingdoms, and the bird Dikjeretto, which knows the languages of men and can describe the visions that appear in the mirror. ![]() Noticing that the children are alive, she sends the nurse to get rid of them. He returns home to tell the queen mother that the three children were nearly identical to the one his former wife promised. Years pass, and the prince, while riding through the kingdom, sights the three children in the distance. The shepherd notices the three babies and takes them home to raise them. A passing shepherd grazes nearby with his goats and a she-goat returns with an empty udder. Out of pity, the nurse hides the three children amidst the reeds and leaves. While he is away, the queen mother replaces her three grandchildren for a puppy, a kitten and a little mouse, and orders the nurse to cast them in a box in the sea. The prince marries the youngest sister and, eight months later, has to go to war. The next morning, the prince calls them to court and orders them to repeat their wishes. Unbeknowst to them, the prince, that night, was spying on them. One night, the three daughters of a poor couple talk to each other: the oldest wants to marry the royal cook so she can eat the finest meals the middle one wants to marry the royal treasurer to be rich, and the youngest wants to marry the king's son and bear him three children, the Sun, the Moon and the Morning Star.
