She said that the loser should do whatever the winner told him. They agreed. The first two princes lost but the other won. Then the queen said that the two princes who lost, should bring the "Steed of the Bells" to her and the third prince said that the queen should live in prison till his brothers would return. The three princes set out and they came across an old man on the way who was lame. He told them that he'd go with them. When they came to the stable door, the horse rang the bells.
