    After some time the old woman got up, but when he saw her going for the magic wand he called the dogs and the horse. They caught her and killed her. With the magic wand he changed her into a green stone. He changed his brothers one by one back to their right shapes. The green stone may be seen in the centre of the fort up to the present day.
