Death
was
creeping
nearer
and
nearer
,
and
the
Marionette
still
hoped
for
some
good
soul
to
come
to
his
rescue
,
but
no
one
appeared
.
As
he
was
about
to
die
,
he
thought
of
his
poor
old
father
,
and
hardly
conscious
of
what
he
was
saying
,
murmured
to
himself
:
492
"
Oh
,
Father
,
dear
Father
!
If
you
were
only
here
!
"
493
These
were
his
last
words
.
He
closed
his
eyes
,
opened
his
mouth
,
stretched
out
his
legs
,
and
hung
there
,
as
if
he
were
dead
.

If
the
poor
Marionette
had
dangled
there
much
longer
,
all
hope
would
have
been
lost
.
Luckily
for
him
,
the
Lovely
Maiden
with
Azure
Hair
once
again
looked
out
of
her
window
.
Filled
with
pity
at
the
sight
of
the
poor
little
fellow
being
knocked
helplessly
about
by
the
wind
,
she
clapped
her
hands
sharply
together
three
times
.
495
At
the
signal
,
a
loud
whirr
of
wings
in
quick
flight
was
heard
and
a
large
Falcon
came
and
settled
itself
on
the
window
ledge
.
496
"
What
do
you
command
,
my
charming
Fairy
?
"
asked
the
Falcon
,
bending
his
beak
in
deep
reverence
-LRB-
for
it
must
be
known
that
,
after
all
,
the
Lovely
Maiden
with
Azure
Hair
was
none
other
than
a
very
kind
Fairy
who
had
lived
,
for
more
than
a
thousand
years
,
in
the
vicinity
of
the
forest
-RRB-
.
497
"
Do
you
see
that
Marionette
hanging
from
the
limb
of
that
giant
oak
tree
?
"

"
I
see
him
.
"
499
"
Very
well
.
Fly
immediately
to
him
.
With
your
strong
beak
,
break
the
knot
which
holds
him
tied
,
take
him
down
,
and
lay
him
softly
on
the
grass
at
the
foot
of
the
oak
.
"

The
Falcon
flew
away
and
after
two
minutes
returned
,
saying
,
"
I
have
done
what
you
have
commanded
.
"
