And, having put spurs to horses, they have dashed away afar.

Upset Симон tears from a horse, has fallen in a grass and has bitterly begun to cry. Suddenly the thin voice from nowhere was heard:

- Do not cry, Симон. Look better at our small doll.

Симон took a shirt and has gone to the father. The Father-king with pleasure has considered it and has told confused Симону:

Having seen the younger brother with the beauty-bride, they have begun was to shout at it for a rage, but the father-king ordered to become silent and be cleaned by it from the lock with the ugly creatures. And for Симона and its brides-dolls has gone into such feast which did not see and will not see in one kingdom of the world.
