               until morning. The foal went to the horse                                  mare  a  female  horse
               of Demitr. He said, “Oh, this foal is mine.”                               stern  very  serious

               Jereko immediately said, “No, the foal                                     just man  a  man  who  is  fair
                                                                                          when  dealing  with  others  and
               is mine.” “Well, this foal belongs to my                                   has  good  morals

               stallion,” said Demitr angrily. “No, my  mare                              dangerous  likely  to  cause
               is the mother of the foal. So, it belongs to                               injury  or  damage
                                                                                          courtier  a  person  who  often
               me,” said Jereko in a  stern way. Nora looked                              attends  the  court  of  a  king
               at both of them. “Well, the King of the city is                            as  an  adviser,  attendant  or

               a  just man. Let us go to him. He will tell us                             assistant
                                                                                          patiently  in  a  calm  way
               what to do.”                                                               without  getting  angry


                                                  They all went to the
                                                  city. Right at the gate of the city, Nora saw

                                                  that there was a notice with the picture of a
                                                  man who looked very  dangerous. She read it

                                                  carefully.

                                                  Anyone who gives information about this thief

                                                  will be rewarded with one hundred ducats
                                                  (gold coins).


               Nora noted the points as they went to the palace. The King was seated
               on his throne with many  courtiers  also present there. He met them
               every day. The brothers

               told him about all that

               had happened.

               Demitr said, “The foal

               is mine. It came to my
               stallion.” Jereko said,
               “No, I disagree with

               him. The foal belongs to

               my mare. So, it is mine.”
               The King listened to
               them  patiently.
