The Singing Bone

[2] A boar lays waste to a country, and two brothers set out to kill it, with the prize being given the princess's hand in marriage.

Carrying the body off, the man meets his older brother, who had joined with others to drink until he felt brave.

One day a shepherd sees a bone under the bridge and uses it to make a mouthpiece for a horn, which sings of the brother's fate: "Ah!

Dear shepherd, you are blowing your horn With one of my bones, which night and morn Lie still unburied, beneath the wave Where I was thrown in a sandy grave.

The shepherd takes this marvel to the king, who has the bridge examined, and the bones of the deceased brother are found.
