    through the same forest he saw three birds on a tree. The first said "That's the man that took the beautiful girl from us." The second said
    "What good is she to him when she cannot talk." The third said "She can talk if he takes out the golden pearl that is behind her ear." When the man went home he took out the pearl. The girl could talk. They lived happily ever afterwards.
