"No! No!" answered the boy,
"I could not
part with my bull for any price."
Then the king said :
"Well
then, let the animals fight."
So the bulls were taken to a large field,
where many people were gathered to see the
sport.
"Do not kill the king s bull,"
the boy whis
knock him down and show that you
pered, "but
are the master."
Then the fight began. The bulls rushed at
each other with their heads held low, and very
soon the king s beautiful white bull was on the
ground under the feet of the other.
"Call
your bull away!" begged the king.
"Do not let him kill my bull 1" The boy called
to his bull, which at once left the other, and
came quietly to him.
The king s bull lay on the ground, wounded
and bleeding.
"If
you will only heal the wounds your bull
has made," said the king,
"I will pay you well."
So the boy gave the king s bull some of his
magical medicine and at once the animal was
healed. The king rewarded him as he promised,
and gave him one hundred pounds and a fine
horse. This money also the boy gave to his
father, who laid it away with all the rest of the
money.
