	A young man out hunting sees a white stag, and chases it into a deep forest until he is lost. He comes to a fountain where a naked nymph is bathing, whose virginity is protected by a golden necklace. Enraptured by her, the young man takes the necklace, and ~~takes her in his arms~~. The nymph learns that she will give birth to six sons a daughter. They return to his castle betrothed, but his mother-in-law secretly objects to his choice of wife. When the seven children are born (all wearing golden necklaces), the mother-in-law takes them away and replaces them with newborn puppies. She gives the children to a servant with orders to kill them, and he abandons them in the woods. An old man finds them and fosters them for seven years. Meanwhile, the nymph is accused of birthing monsters; her husband believes the accusations, and orders her buried alive up to the breast in the courtyard. He tells everyone to wash their hands above her and to dry their hands on her hair, and she is fed only scraps. She is horribly transformed by exposure, clothes and flesh rotted, hair and skin blackened and foul. One day, while hunting, the king sees the children wearing golden necklaces; they vanish before he can approach, however. He tells his mother-in-law, who in turn tells the servant to finish the job properly. The servant hunts and hunts, and at last finds the children: the boys had removed their necklaces, transformed into swans, and were swimming in bird form while their sister watched. The girl runs away, but servant steals the boys’ necklaces and returns to the queen. She gives the necklaces to a goldsmith to have them melted down and made into a goblet. However, neither fire nor iron can damage them (except one ring, which bends a little); to fool the old queen, the goldsmith makes a goblet of the same weight and gives it to the mother-in-law. The six swans and their sister flew far and long looking for a lake to live; they settle on the lake beside their father’s castle, which was perched high on steep cliffs. The king ordered food be thrown to the beautiful birds. The girl, now in human form, comes to the castle as an beggar; she shares her food with her mother, the nymph (not knowing their relationship) and with the swans. The king grows curious about her (and her necklace), and asks about her parentage. She says she does not know, and tells her story; the mother-in-law and the servant overhear the story, and decide to kill the girl. The servant tries to stab her, but the king intervenes, and the servant tells the whole truth. The king forces his mother to reveal the story, and summons the goldsmith who brings the necklaces. All the swans are restored, except one, whose necklace had the bent ring. The king welcomes his children, digs up his wife, and her beauty is restored with baths and ointments while the mother-in-law is made to take her place.		A young man out hunting sees a white stag, and chases it into a deep forest until he is lost. He comes to a fountain where a naked nymph is bathing, whose virginity is protected by a golden necklace. Enraptured by her, the young man takes the necklace, and the two have (questionably consensual). The nymph learns that she will give birth to six sons a daughter.
