226 GLOOSCAP AND OTHER STORIES "NoI No!" answered the boy, "I could not part with my bull for any price." Then the king said: "Well then, let the animals fight." So the bulls were taken to a large field, where many people were gathered to see the sport. "Do not kill the king's bull," the boy whis¬ pered, '' but knock him down and show that you are the master." Then the fight began. The bulls rushed at each other with their heads held low, and very soon the king's beautiful white bull was on the ground under the feet of the other. "Call your bull away!" begged the king. '' Do not let him kill my bull!'' The boy called to his bull, which at once left the other, and came quietly to him. The king's bull lay on the ground, wounded and bleeding. "If you will only heal the wounds your bull has made," said the king, "I will pay you well." So the boy gave the king's bull some of his magical medicine and at once the animal was healed. The king rewarded him as he promised, and gave him one hundred pounds and a fine horse. This money also the boy gave to bis father, who laid it away with all the rest of the money.
