to have ended with the death of the bull, he had let them be locked up in another room. When the funeral had started, carrying poor John to his grave, Nart broke open the door where they were, and the three rushed out after the funeral. When they came up with it, the men who were carrying the coffin were so frightened that they dropped it. Nart tore off the lid and drew the splinter of bone. Then said he to Lice, "Lick the wound." Lice licked it and John sprang up, as well as ever. As soon as he stepped out of the coffin, Fiss and Lice changed into the most beautiful ladies that were ever seen, and Nart became a strong handsome young man and went and killed the princess. They had been enchanted by the bull, and, now that he was really dead, changed into their own shapes. Then John married Fiss, and they lived happily ever afterwards.
