And as soon as he got there, Tsar Dolmat recognised Prince Ivan coming on the gold-maned horse. He immediately rushed out of his palace, met the prince in his wide court, kissed him on his mouth, took him by the right hand, and led him into his white marble palace.
Tsar Dolmat in return for such a pleasure ordered a great feast prepared, and they took their places at the oaken tables, at the checked linen tablecloth. They ate, drank, and made merry, and thus feasted for two days, and on the third day Tsar Dolmat rewarded Prince Ivan with the Magic Bird and the golden cage.
The prince took the Magic Bird, went out of the city, sat on the gold-maned horse, together with the beautiful Queen Helena, and rode toward his own fatherland. Now Tsar Dolmat, on the following day, determined to ride his gold-maned horse in the open field, and he had hardly spurred up the horse when it threw him, and again becoming the Gray Wolf galloped off and overtook Prince Ivan.
"Prince Ivan!' he cried. "Mount me, the Gray Wolf, and let the beautiful Queen Helena ride on the gold-maned horse."
