looked around and six swans came flying through the air towards
her。 Then she saw that her deliverance was near； and her heart
leapt with joy。 The swans swept towards her and sank down so that
they were touched by them； their swans； skins fell off； and her
brothers stood in their own bodily form before her； and were
vigorous and handsome。 The youngest only lacked his left arm；
and had in the place of it a swan's wing on his shoulder。 They
embraced and kissed each other； and the queen went to the king；
who was greatly moved； and she began to speak and said； dearest
husband； now I may speak and declare to you that I am innocent；
and falsely accused。 And she told him of the treachery of the
old woman who had taken away her three children and hidden them。
Then to the great joy of the king they were brought thither；
and as a punishment； the wicked mother…in…law was bound to
the stake； and burnt to ashes。 But the king and the queen with
her six brothers lived many years in happiness and peace。
