    told his mother to get his vallet ready, and he went on his journey. On his way, he met the white horse. "Good morning general man" said the white horse, and immediately, he beheaded the white horse.
    He then went towards the king's castle. The king came out to meet him and said, "You are welcome for tonight and tomorrow night." He gave him the best apartment in the house to sleep in. Next morning, the king brought him outside. He threw his rusty sword on the ground and kept the bright one himself.
    They then went to war, and he beheaded the king. He released his sister and two brothers and brought them home to his father and mother again. From that time on, the general man owned the king's castle.
