They acknowledge that destiny will eventually take its course and that the child, Tomjon, will grow up to defeat Duke Felmet and take his rightful place as king. The witches hand the child to a troupe of travelling actors, and hide the crown in the props-box. The King's crown and child are given by an escaping servant to the three witches.
