Then Danílo took her by her right hand, and he kissed her on her sweet lips, and he led her into the princely home. They sat down at a table, ate and drank. They refreshed themselves, and their hands met at one table. “Now, Danílo, go to rest and to bed; think of nothing else; it will all be done.” So she laid him to sleep and herself went out to the crystal flight of steps. And she waved her pinions and she shook her little head: “My father,” she cried, “send me your craftsmen!” And the twelve youths appeared and asked, “Swan-bird, fair maiden, what do you bid us do?” “Sew me this _shúba_ at once: the sables are not prepared, the buttons are not moulded, the buttonholes are not sewn.” So they set to work: one of them made the sables ready and sewed the _shúba_, one of them worked the forge and moulded the buttons, and one of them sewed the buttonholes, and in a minute, wondrously, the _shúba_ was made. Then the Swan-bird, the fair maiden, came up and woke Danílo the Unfortunate: “Arise, my dear friend, the _shúba_ is ready, and the church-bells are ringing in the city of Kíev: it is time for you to arise and to prepare for matins.” Danílo arose, put on the _shúba_, and went: she looked out of the window, stayed, gave him a silver staff, and bade him, “When you leave matins, stand on the right side of the choir as the choir leave, raise your hands and strike the sable _shúba_, and the birds will sing joyously and the lions roar fearsomely. Then take the _shúba_ from your shoulders and array Prince Vladímir at that instant, lest he forget us. He will then summon you as a guest, and will give you a glass of wine. Do not drink the glass to the bottom: if you drink it to the bottom no good will befall you; and do not boast of me: do not boast that we built a house together in a single night.” Danílo took the silver staff and hied away, and she again stayed him on his course, and she gave him three little eggs, two of silver, one of gold, and said, “With the silver eggs give the Easter greeting to the Prince and the Princess, but the golden one keep and live your life along with it.” Danílo the Unfortunate bade farewell to her and went to matins. All the people wondered. “Look what a fine man Danílo the Unfortunate has become: he has made the _shúba_ and he has brought it with him for the feast.”
