He pulled at her dress , but she did not waken . Then a dreadful idea came over him , and he ran to the chamber where the needles had been kept , but it was quite empty . The queen had broken the last over the work she held in her hand , and with it the spell was broken too , and she lay dead . Quick as thought the prince pulled out the golden flask , and sprinkled some drops of the water over the queen . In a moment she moved gently , and raising her head , opened her eyes . ` Oh , my dear friend , I am so glad you wakened me ; I must have slept a long while ! ' ` You would have slept till eternity , ' answered the prince , ` if I had not been here to waken you . ' At these words the queen remembered about the needles . She knew now that she had been dead , and that the prince had restored her to life . She gave him thanks from her heart for what he had done , and vowed she would repay him if she ever got a chance . The prince took his leave , and set out for the country of the bald-headed king . As he drew near the place he saw that the whole mountain had been dug away , and that the king was lying dead on the ground , his spade and bucket beside him . But as soon as the water from the golden flask touched him he yawned and stretched himself , and slowly rose to his feet . ` Oh , my dear friend , I am so glad to see you , ' cried he , ' I must have slept a long while ! ' ` You would have slept till eternity if I had not been here to waken you , ' answered the prince . And the king remembered the mountain , and the spell , and vowed to repay the service if he ever had a chance . Further along the road which led to his old home the prince found the great tree torn up by its roots , and the king of the eagles sitting dead on the ground , with his wings outspread as if for flight . A flutter ran through the feathers as the drops of water fell on them , and the eagle lifted his beak from the ground and said : ` Oh , how long I must have slept ! How can I thank you for having awakened me , my dear , good friend ! ' ` You would have slept till eternity if I had not been here to waken you ' ; answered the prince .
Then the king remembered about the tree , and knew that he had been dead , and promised , if ever he had the chance , to XXXXX what the prince had done for him .
