then they will do nothing to thee, and when thou comest to the castle, the giants will help thee. Then go up to the castle, and take a couple of giants with thee. There the princess lies sleeping; thou must, however, not awaken her, but the giants must lift her up, and carry her in her bed to the ship." And now everything took place as the little white horse had said, and Ferdinand the Faithful gave the giants and the birds what he had brought with him for them, and that made the giants willing, and they carried the princess in her bed to the King. And when she came to the King, she said she could not live, she must have her writings, they had been left in her castle. Then by the instigation of Ferdinand the Unfaithful, Ferdinand the Faithful was called, and the King told him he must fetch the writings from the castle, or he should die. Then he went once more into the stable, and bemoaned himself and said, "Oh, my dear little white horse, now I am to go away again, how am I to do it?" Then the little white horse said he was just to load the ships full again. So it happened again as it had happened before, and the giants and the birds were satisfied, and made gentle by the meat. When they came to the castle, the white horse told Ferdinand the Faithful that he must go in, and that on the table in the princess's bed-room lay the writings. And Ferdinand the Faithful went in, and fetched them. When they were on the lake, he let his pen fall into the water; then said the white horse, "Now I cannot help thee at all." But he remembered his flute, and began to play on it, and the fish came with the pen in its mouth, and gave it to him. So he took the writings to the castle, where the wedding was celebrated.
The Queen, however, did not love the King because he had no nose, but she would have much liked to love Ferdinand the Faithful. Once, therefore, when all the lords of the court were together, the Queen said she could do feats of magic, that she could cut off any one's head and put it on again, and that one of them ought just to try it. But none of them would be the first, so Ferdinand the Faithful, again at the instigation of Ferdinand the Unfaithful, undertook it and she hewed off hishead, and put it on again for him, and it healed togetherdirectly, so that it looked as if he had a red thread round his throat. Then the King said to her, "My child, and where hast thou learnt that?" - "Yes," she said, "I understand the art; shall I just try it on thee also?" - "Oh, yes," said he. But she cut off his head, and did not put it on again; but pretended that she could not get it on, and that it would not keep fixed. Then the King was buried, but she married Ferdinand the Faithful.
He, however, always rode on his white horse, and once when he was seated on it, it told him that he was to go on to the heath which he knew, and gallop three times round it. And when he had done that, the white horse stood up on its hind legs, and was changed into a King's son.从前，有对夫妇，他们本来有钱的时候却没有小孩，后来变穷了，却生了个小男孩。他们太穷了，没有人愿意当孩子的教父，于是孩子他爹说要到别处去看看，是否可找一个来。在路上，他遇到了一个穷人，这人问他去哪儿，他回答说想去给孩子找个教父，因为太穷了，没人愿意给孩子当教父。那人听了说："哦，你穷，我也穷，我给孩子做教父吧!我也太穷了，没有什么礼物给孩子。回去叫接生婆把孩子带到教堂来吧。"
待他们赶到教堂，那穷叫花子早就等在那儿了，他给孩子取了个名字，叫忠实的费迪南。
从教堂里出来时，穷叫花子说："现在回家去吧!我没有什么给你们，你们也不用给我什么。"不过他还是给了孩子母亲一把钥匙，要她回家时交给孩子他爹，要他在孩子十四岁时再给他。到时再让他到荒原上去，那儿有座宫殿，用这把钥匙可以打开宫门，里面的东西就都归这孩子了。
孩子长到了七岁，长得百般伶俐。一天，他同小伙伴们一起玩耍，孩子们都夸耀自己从教父那里得到了许多东西，比任何人都多，只有这孩子什么都不说。孩子很是烦恼，哭着回去问他爹，"难道教父什么都没给我?""哦。是的，你只得了把钥匙，要是荒原上有座宫殿，你就拿去打开它吧。"孩子拿着钥匙去了，可荒原上压根儿就没有什么宫殿，甚至没听人说过有宫殿。
又过了七年，孩子十四岁了，他又来到了荒原上。这回，真有一座宫殿耸立在那儿。他打开了门，发现里面什么都没有，除了一匹白马。孩子得到了这白马，满心欢喜，于是骑了上去，回到家中去见他爹。他说："现在我有一匹白马了，我要旅行去。"于是他动身了。途中，他看到有支写字的笔，起初他想拾起来，但转念一想："还是随它去吧，如果要用笔，我还可以找到的。"他便打算继续赶路了，突然，背后有个声音喊道："忠实的费迪南，捡起那支笔吧!"他回头一看没有见到任何人，于是又折回去拾起那支笔。他骑在马上又走了一会儿，来到了一个湖边，沙滩上正躺着条鱼，已奄奄一息。孩子说："等等，亲爱的鱼儿，让我来帮帮你。"说着，他提起了鱼尾，把它放回到水里。鱼儿从水里探出了头，说："你从污泥里救出了我，我就送你一支笛子吧!如果遇到什么危难，只要一吹笛子，我就会来帮你。还有，如果你掉进什么水里，只要你一吹，我就会来把你捞上来。"孩子又上路了，迎面碰见一个人，那人问他上哪儿去。"哦，就到那边去。""那你叫什么名字?""叫忠实的费迪南。""啊，咱俩的名字差点儿相同了，我叫不忠实的费迪南。"于是他们俩一同往前赶，来到了邻近一家客栈。
不幸的是，这位不忠实的费迪南会各种各样的邪术，能知道别人所想的一切和准备做的一切。就在这个客栈里住着个很不错的姑娘，她容貌端庄，举止优雅。而忠实的费迪南又长得非常英俊，于是他们坠入了爱河。姑娘问忠实的费迪南要往哪去，他说："哦，我只想到处旅行。"姑娘劝他留下来，说本地的国王需要一名侍者或骑着马的开路人，他应该去试试。他说他不好意思到国王那儿去毛遂自荐。姑娘听了说："哦，这事我来替你办。"说完就去见国王，说她认识一个帅小伙，可当他的仆人。国王很高兴，召见了忠实的费迪南，并收他做了自己的仆人。可忠实的费迪南更愿做一名开路骑士，因为他要和自己的马儿在一块。国王答应了，让他做了名开路骑士。这事让不忠实的费迪南知道了，他问姑娘："怎么?你只帮他不帮我?""哦，我当然也会帮你。"姑娘嘴里这么说，心里却想道："这家伙靠不住，我得留个心眼。"姑娘又把他推荐给国王当仆人，国王也答应了。
每天，国王早朝时总会对朝臣们哀叹："哎，要是我的心上人在我身边就好了。"那不忠实的费迪南总是对忠实的费迪南不怀好意，一次，当国王又一次这样哀叹时，不忠实的费迪南向国王建议，"您不是有一位骑士吗?让他去把您的心上人接来呀!如果他不去，就叫他人头落地。"于是国王招来了忠实的费迪南，告诉他某处他有个心上人，叫他去替他接来，如果不去，他就休想活命。
