这只智慧的鸟将它的家建在这座山峰上已经有一千年了。在这里，它呼吸着新鲜的空气，与闪烁的星星聊天。它有着千年的智慧，并且懂得人类的语言。
西穆菲看到了那个躺在山脚下无助的孩子。当太阳落山，它看着那个孩子，听到他因孤独与饥饿发出的哭声。它伸展翅膀，轻轻地飞了下来。它用爪子将他从地上抓起，带回了鸟巢。
它打算让它的孩子们像吃兔子或是羊羔那样将这个孩子吃掉。但是当它看到他是那么温顺干净、漂亮且四肢健全，它被感动了，心里充满了怜悯。
“我的孩子，”她说道，“我给你们带回了一个稀世珍宝。他是国王的孩子。我希望你们不要伤害他，去爱他，待他像你们的兄弟一样。”
它将最温软的食物给了那个小客人。它用弯曲的喙喂他喝羊奶以及从蜂房带来的蜂蜜。它给他成熟的甜甜的草莓。只要是有利于孩子成长的东西，它都会找来。它的孩子们就像兄弟一样爱着这个孩子，将家中的好东西与他分享。
就这样，几年过去了。西穆菲从来没有因为疲劳而停下它的关怀。那个白色头发的婴儿也长成了一个天真的男孩子。后来，他成为一个强壮而且英俊的青年。
