He took the token and the apple, and when he came out, the eagle was waiting for him. He got upon eagle's back and they came to the place where they started from. "Now go to your father, and give him the apple, and keep the token," said the man. The boy set out, and when he came to a crossroads, he found his brothers asleep. He lay down and fell asleep.

She got married to him, and lived happy ever after.
