The golden feather was brought to the king in the morning, and all the council was called together. But the arrow did the bird no harm only it dropped a golden feather from its tail, and then flew away. As the clock struck twelve he heard a rustling noise in the air, and a bird came flying that was of pure gold and as it was snapping at one of the apples with its beak, the gardener's son jumped up and shot an arrow at it.
