Bird tells Venus that Cupid has taken Psyche as a lover, Venus is furious. Psyche is meanwhile praying to the Gods that they will bring back Cupid. Psyche is captured and brought back to Venus. Venus tortures her, then gives a giant pile of different seeds for her to sort. Ants sort them for her. She captures wool as her second task. An eagle fills the phial for the third task.
She collects the phial of beauty, but is actually sleep which attacks her whenever she opens it. Cupid rescues her, and tells her to take the phial to his mother, and he will take care of the rest. They are married, and the story ends, returning again to the donkey. Robbers decide to kill the donkey, for it has only brought them bad luck.
The donkey escapes and rescues the girl. The end of the story.
