The prince threw his hat in the direction, where he saw the bonfire and climbed down the tree, and started off in that way. He reached the edge of the forrest. There blazed the big fire, and twenty-four gaudy bandits sat around it. They were turning a buffalo on a skewer above the flames.
"Whatever comes to me, I need to go there." Said the prince. "I'll check who are these." He mustered his courage, and steped up to them. "Good evening!" He saluted them.
"For you aswell. What kind of fellow are you?" Asked one of them.
"Just like you." Replied the prince.
"If that's true, just take some of this meet." Came the answer. The prince couldn't do anything, he took his pocketknife, cut a piece of the meet and started to eat it, in a fine and classy way, just how it fits to a noble person. The eyes of the bandits met.
"Oh you are not at all like us. Look how it goes." And they threw big pieces of the buffalo-meet in their mouthes, as big as a chair. "Okay, if you figure out, what we have been lurking for in the neighbourhood for twenty-four years, you are going to be our cheaf."
"You have gave me an easy task." Replied the prince. "I know exactly, that you are lieing in a wait for burgle in the cellar of the duke, who lives nearby. The cellar is full of gold, but you never managed to enter, because from east there is cock and from west there is a dog guarding the gates of the cellar. When they notice you at the gates they allways start to make noise, and wake up the guards of the duke. But I know the solution for the problem."
"Hurrah, hurrah! You're our cheaf, lead us to the cellar." Cried the bandits, and they all started off. The prince brought one of the bones of the buffalo, and tied a little noose on it. When they have reached te eastern gate, and the cock started to crow, he threw the bone with the little noose on the neck of the cock, and they all run away. The dog has smelled the bone, and started search for source of the smell. When the dog found the cock with the bone in it's neck, it ate the whole animal. And the bandits had time to brake the lock of the eastern gate. They all went in, and when the dog had come after them, they shot it down in the cellar, so no one could hear the noise of the shot. They took away as many gold, as they could.
When they spent all the money they had robed, they decided to go back to the cellar. But the duke had put unbrakeable metal lock on the door, so they undid the wall next to the door. When they made the hole, an idea came into mind of the prince. "Listen, I'm the cheaf, I'll go first." He told them. "You come after me in the order as I call your names." He sliped through the hole, and called them one by one. And when a bandit came through the hole, he stood behind him, grabbed his hair, and cut his neck with his knife. He killed all the twenty-four bandits, and made a pile of them in the cellar. He took gold with him, and left the place. He didn't go back to the shady joint of the bandits, but he went to town.
