When the Princess had the three things, she said to the bird, You have been the cause of the death of my two brothers, who must be among the black stones. I wish to take them home with me.” The bird said, “Look if you can see a little pitcher. Take it and spill a little water upon every black stone as you go down the hill, and that will be the way to find your brothers again.” Princess Parizade took the pitcher, and as she went down the hill, she spilled a little of the water on every black stone, which was changed immediately into a man until she did her brothers. When they resumed their former shape, they were indebted to their sister, as were all the other gentlemen, who all declared they were ready to obey her in whatever she should command.
