The husband proposed a compromise to his wife. And on that note, they ended up going home without the baby calf.
I will slaughter another bull, then I will slaughter this one next year. How about it?
NO! You will slaughter this one at once.
Just before daybreak, the Shepard came to the husband, without the wife knowing.
I bring you good news! I have a daughter, who is fond of soothsaying and magic. When I took the young calf home with me yesterday, she laughed and exclaimed: "this bull is the son of our master, put under the spell by the step-mother". Then, she cried and explained: "And the mother, also put under a spell was butchered by you."
My...my.. love...my.. son...
My dear son! I thought you were gone forever !
The Shepard brought his master back to his home, where the young calf was, as well as the Shepard's daughter.
Can you release my son from this wicked spell? If you do, I will give you anything.. My cattle, all my possessions.. anything.
I do not desire your wealth, master. I have two wishes: and I will release you son. First: let me marry him. Second: let me cast a spell upon the evil step-mother, so that she may ensue no more evil.
The Shepard's daughter filled a bowl with water, let out an oath, and said the bull:
Bull, if you are created in the image of the All-Mighty Lord, remain in this state. Bull, if you were cast under an evil spell, return to your human form, by the will of God.
After being tuned back into human form, the son explains everything that had happened to him and his mother, and the evils of his step-mother.
Oh son! The great Lord sent us someone who will give her what she deserves..
