The caption for this illustration reads: The Pea-hen turns into a maiden. According to the tale, a king had three sons and a tree that produced golden apples, but a thief stole them every night. Two of sons failed to catch him, third was able to outwit the thief: nine peahens would come down and eight pecked the apples, but the ninth turned into a beautiful princess, as seen here. The princess gave the third prince two golden apples for the king. The illustration is from a 1921 book on Serbian myths and legends.
