    He said it was true that was the blood of his father on the sword.
    The boy said no, it was the blood of a bird and if he would give him back the sword he would clean it.
    He gave it back to the boy, and when he did the boy cut the head off him.
    The boy and his wife and all their friends lived happily ever afterwards.
