旁白：使臣们想，还是别带回这个国王的衬衣为妙。国王没办法，便去打猎散心，他开枪打中了一只野兔，但只是伤了它，野兔带着三条腿奔跑着，国王追赶着野兔把随从们远远地抛在后面，在森林外的旷野里，国王听到有人在唱歌，他便收住脚步。

小伙子：您好啊，陛下。这么早，您就到乡下来了。
The youth:Good day, Majesty, So early and already out in the country? 国王：天哪，你愿意我把你带到京都去吗？你将成为我的朋友。 King: Bless you! Would you like me to take you to the capital? You will be my friend.
小伙子：多谢您了，陛下。这种事，我根本不想。即使罗马教皇与我换个位子，我也不干。
The youth: Much obliged, Majesty, but I wouldn't even consider it. I wouldn't even change places with the Pope. 国王：为什么呢？像你这样能干的小伙子…… King: Why not? Such a fine young man like you…
小伙子：不，不，跟您说吧，我对我现在的一切感到心满意足了，其他毫无所求。

国王：啊！我终于找到了一个幸福的人！听着小伙子，帮我一下吧。 King: A happy man at last! Listen, young man. Do me a favor. 小伙子：只要能做到的，陛下，我一定尽力效劳。 The youth: With all my heart, Majesty, if I can. 国王：等等。

King: My dear lad, I'll give you whatever you want! But give me…give me…\

国王：我的儿子快要死了，只有你能救他，快过来。 King: My son is dying! Only you can save him. Come here!
