“ Slowly , slowly , ” says the tailor . “ Not so fast ! ” He stands very still , and he waits . The unicorn comes nearer and nearer . When it is very close , the tailor jumps behind a tree . The unicorn runs into the tree with all its strength . Its horn goes deep into the trunk . It pulls and pulls , but it cannot get its horn out again . It is caught ! “ Now I have my little bird , ” says the tailor . He comes out from behind the tree . He puts the rope round the unicorn’s neck . Then he cuts the horn out of the tree with his axe . When all is ready , he takes the unicorn to the king . X . The Wild Boar But still the king does not want to give the tailor his reward . He asks for a third thing . “ Before the wedding , ” he says , “ you must catch a wild boar for me . It does a lot of damage in the forest . My hunters will help you . ” A wild boar is a big wild pig with long , sharp teeth . “ Gladly , ” says the tailor . “ That is child’s play ! ” He does not take the hunters with him . They are very happy about that . They know this boar . It often runs at them , and they do not want to meet it again . The boar sees the tailor , and it runs at him . There is white foam at its mouth . Its long teeth are sharp . It wants to throw him to the ground . But the tailor is quick . Near him there is a chapel . A chapel is a very small church . The tailor runs into the chapel . He jumps up to the window . With one more jump he is out again . The boar runs into the chapel after him . But the tailor runs round the outside . He shuts the door behind the boar . Bang ! The boar is very angry . But it is much too heavy and too slow to jump out of the window . Now it is caught . The little tailor calls the hunters . “ Come and see ! ” he says . And they come and see the wild boar with their own eyes . Then the tailor goes to the king . Now the king must keep his promise , and he cannot say no . He gives the tailor his daughter and half of his kingdom . The king is not happy about it . And he does not even know the whole story . This great hero is only a little tailor ! The wedding is very big and very rich . But there is not much joy in it . And so a little tailor becomes a king .
