v2 ¶1

There was once upon a time a queen who had a little daughter who was still so young that she had to be carried. One day the child was naughty, and the mother might say what she liked, but the child would not be quiet. Then she became impatient, and as the ravens were flying about the palace, she opened the window and said, I wish you were a raven and would fly away, and then I should have some rest. Scarcely had she spoken the words, before the child was changed into a raven, and flew from her arms out of the window. It flew into a dark forest, and stayed in it a long time, and the parents heard nothing of their child.

v3 ¶1

Once upon a time, there was a queen who had a very little daughter. The baby was so tiny that she had to be carried in her mother's arms. One day, the child was being naughty and would not stop crying. The mother tried to calm her down, but nothing worked. Finally, the queen became impatient. She looked out the window and saw the ravens flying in the sky. She said, "I wish you were a raven and would fly away, so I could get some rest." Scarcely had she spoken the words before the baby changed into a raven and flew out the window. The bird flew into a dark forest and stayed there for a long time. The parents were very sad and could not find their little girl.

v2 ¶2

Then one day a man was on his way through this forest and heard the raven crying, and followed the voice, and when he came nearer, the bird said, I am a king's daughter by birth, and am bewitched, but you can set me free. What am I to do, asked he. She said, go further into the forest, and you will find a house, wherein sits an aged woman, who will offer you meat and drink, but you must accept nothing, for if you eat and drink anything, you will fall into a sleep, and then you will not be able to set me free. In the garden behind the house there is a great heap of tan, and on this you shall stand and wait for me. For three days I will come every afternoon at two o'clock in a carriage.

v3 ¶2

One day, a man was walking through the forest when he heard a sad raven crying. He followed the sound until the bird spoke. "I am a king's daughter," she said. "A bad spell has turned me into a bird. You can set me free." "What must I do?" the man asked. "Go deeper into the woods," she told him. "You will find a house with an old woman inside. She will offer you food and drink, but you must say no. If you eat or drink anything, you will fall into a deep sleep and I will stay a bird forever. Behind the house, there is a big pile of sawdust. Stand on it and wait for me. I will come every afternoon at two o'clock in a carriage.

v2 ¶3

On the first day four white horses will be harnessed to it, then four chestnut horses, and lastly four black ones, but if you are not awake, but sleeping, I shall not be set free. The man promised to do everything that she desired, but the raven said, alas, I know already that you will not set me free, you will accept something from the woman. Then the man once more promised that he would certainly not touch anything either to eat or to drink.

v3 ¶3

On the first day, four white horses will pull the cage. Then, four chestnut horses will pull it. Finally, four black horses will pull it. But if you are sleeping, I will not be set free. The man promised to do everything she wanted. The raven said, "Alas, I know you will not set me free. You will take something from the woman." The man promised again that he would not eat or drink anything.

v2 ¶4

But when he entered the house the old woman came to him and said, poor man, how faint you are, come and refresh yourself, eat and drink. No, said the man, I will not eat or drink. She, however, let him have no peace, and said, if you will not eat, take one drink out of the glass, one is nothing. Then he let himself be persuaded, and drank. Shortly before two o'clock in the afternoon he went into the garden to the tan heap to wait for the raven. As he was standing there, his weariness all at once became so great that he could not struggle against it, and lay down for a short time, but he was determined not to go to sleep. Hardly, however, had he lain down, than his eyes closed of their own accord, and he fell asleep and slept so soundly that nothing in the world could have aroused him.

v3 ¶4

But when he entered the house, the old woman came to him. She looked at him with kind eyes and said, "Poor man, you look so tired. Come inside and rest. Please, have some food and water." "No, thank you," the man said softly. "I do not want to eat." The old woman was very gentle. She did not give up. "If you will not eat, just take one small sip from this glass. One drink is nothing at all." So, he let her help him. He took a little drink. Then, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. He went out to the garden, to the soft pile of tan leaves, to wait for the raven. He stood there quietly. Suddenly, his tiredness felt very heavy. He could not fight it anymore. He lay down on the soft leaves for just a moment. He promised himself he would not close his eyes.

v2 ¶5

At two o'clock the raven came driving up with four white horses, but she was already in deep grief and said, I know he is asleep. And when she came into the garden, he was indeed lying there asleep on the heap of tan. She alighted from the carriage, went to him, shook him, and called him, but he did not awake. Next day about noon, the old woman came again and brought him food and drink, but he would not take any of it. But she let him have no rest and persuaded him until at length he again took one drink out of the glass. Towards two o'clock he went into the garden to the tan heap to wait for the raven, but all at once felt such a great weariness that his limbs would no longer support him. He could not help himself, and was forced to lie down, and fell into a heavy sleep.

v3 ¶5

But as soon as his head touched the leaves, his eyes closed all by themselves. He fell fast asleep. He slept so deeply that nothing in the world could have woken him up.

v2 ¶6

When the raven drove up with four brown horses, she was already full of grief, and said, I know he is asleep. She went to him, but there he lay sleeping, and there was no wakening him. Next day the old woman asked what was the meaning of this. He was neither eating nor drinking anything, did he want to die. He replied, I am not allowed to eat or drink, and will not do so. But she set a dish with food, and a glass with wine before him, and when he smelt it he could not resist, and swallowed a deep draught. When the time came, he went out into the garden to the heap of tan, and waited for the king's daughter, but he became still more weary than on the day before, and lay down and slept as soundly as if he had been a stone.

v3 ¶6

At two o'clock, the raven came driving up with four white horses. She looked very sad and said, "I know he is asleep." When she got to the garden, he was indeed lying there fast asleep on the pile of soft sawdust. She got out of the carriage, walked over to him, shook him gently, and called his name, but he did not wake up. The next day, around noon, the old woman came back again. She brought him food and drink, but he did not want to eat or drink. She did not let him rest, though, and talked to him until he finally took one small sip from the glass. Then, around two o'clock, he went into the garden to wait for the raven. But suddenly, he felt so very tired that his legs could not hold him up anymore. He could not help himself, so he had to lie down and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

v2 ¶7

At two o'clock the raven came with four black horses, and the coachman and everything else was black. She was already in the deepest grief, and said, I know that he is asleep and cannot set me free.

v3 ¶7

When the raven arrived with four brown horses, she was already feeling very sad. She knew he was fast asleep. She went to him, but he lay there quietly, and she could not wake him up. The next day, the old woman asked what was wrong. He was not eating or drinking anything. She asked if he wanted to die. He said, "I am not allowed to eat or drink, and I will not do so." But she put a dish of food and a glass of wine in front of him. When he smelled it, he could not resist. He took a big drink. When the time came, he went out to the garden to the pile of soft leaves. He waited for the king's daughter, but he felt even more tired than the day before. He lay down and slept as soundly as a stone.

v2 ¶8

When she came to him, there he was lying fast asleep. She shook him and called him, but she could not waken him. Then she laid a loaf beside him, and after that a piece of meat, and thirdly a bottle of wine, and he might consume as much of all of them as he liked, but they would never grow less. After this she took a gold ring from her finger, and put it on his, and her name was graven on it. Lastly, she laid a letter beside him wherein was written what she had given him, and that none of the things would ever grow less, and in it was also written, I see right well that here you will never be able to set me free, but if you are still willing to do so, come to the golden castle of Stromberg; it lies in your power, of that I am certain.

v3 ¶8

At two o'clock, the raven arrived with four black horses. The coachman and everything else was black, too. She was already feeling very sad. She said, "I know he is asleep and cannot set me free.

v2 ¶9

And when she had given him all these things, she seated herself in her carriage, and drove to the golden castle of Stromberg.

v3 ¶9

When she came to him, he was fast asleep. She shook him and called his name, but he would not wake up. She put a loaf of bread next to him, then a piece of meat, and finally a bottle of wine. He could eat and drink as much as he wanted, but the food would never run out. Next, she took a gold ring from her finger and put it on his hand. Her name was written on the ring. Finally, she left a letter beside him. It told him what she had given him and that the food would never run out. It also said, "I know you cannot set me free here. But if you are still willing to help me, go to the golden castle of Stromberg. I am sure you can find a way there.

v2 ¶10

When the man awoke and saw that he had slept, he was sad at heart, and said, she has certainly driven by, and I have not set her free. Then he perceived the things which were lying beside him, and read the letter wherein was written how everything had happened. So he arose and went away, intending to go to the golden castle of Stromberg, but he did not know where it was. After he had walked about the world for a long time, he entered into a dark forest, and walked for fourteen days, and still could not find his way out. Then it was once more evening, and he was so tired that he lay down in a thicket and fell asleep. Next day he went onwards, and in the evening, as he was again about to lie down beneath some bushes, he heard such a howling and crying that he could not go to sleep.

v3 ¶10

Then she gave him all the gifts. She got into her carriage and drove to the golden castle of Stromberg.

v2 ¶11

And at the time when people light the candles, he saw one glimmering, and arose and went towards it.

v3 ¶11

When the man woke up, he felt very sad. He thought, "She has gone away, and I never got to set her free." He looked at the things lying beside him and read the letter. It told him exactly what had happened. He stood up and started walking, hoping to find the golden castle of Stromberg. But he did not know where it was. He walked through the world for a long time. Soon, he found himself in a dark forest. He walked for fourteen days, but he could not find his way out. It was evening again, and he was so tired that he lay down in a thicket and fell fast asleep. The next day, he kept walking. In the evening, just as he was about to lie down under some bushes, he heard a loud howling and crying. It was so scary that he could not go to sleep.

v2 ¶12

Then he came to a house which seemed very small, for in front of it a great giant was standing. He thought to himself, if I go in, and the giant sees me, it will very likely cost me my life. At length he ventured it and went in. When the giant saw him, he said, it is well that you come, for it is long since I have eaten, I will at once devour you for my supper. I would rather you did not, said the man, I do not like to be eaten, but if you have any desire to eat, I have quite enough here to satisfy you. If that be true, said the giant, you may be easy, I was only going to devour you because I had nothing else.

v3 ¶12

And when the people lit the candles, he saw one little light shining. He got up and walked toward it.

v2 ¶13

Then they went, and sat down to the table, and the man took out the bread, wine, and meat which would never come to an end. This pleases me well, said the giant, and ate to his heart's content. Then the man said to him, can you tell me where the golden castle of Stromberg is. The giant said, I will look at my map, all the towns, and villages, and houses are to be found on it.

v3 ¶13

Then he came to a house that looked very small. A big giant was standing right in front of it. The man thought to himself, "If I go inside and the giant sees me, he might hurt me." But he was brave, so he went in. When the giant saw him, he said, "It is good you are here. I have not eaten in a long time. I will eat you for my supper right now." The man said, "Please do not eat me. I do not like to be eaten. But if you are hungry, I have plenty of food here to share." The giant smiled and said, "If that is true, you are safe. I was only going to eat you because I had nothing else to eat.

v2 ¶14

He brought out the map which he had in the room and looked for the castle, but it was not to be found on it. It is no matter, said he, I have some still larger maps in my cupboard upstairs, and we will look at them. But there, too, it was in vain. The man now wanted to set out again, but the giant begged him to wait a few days longer until his brother, who had gone out to bring some provisions, came home. When the brother came home they inquired about the golden castle of Stromberg. He replied, when I have eaten and have had enough, I will look at the map.

v3 ¶14

Then they went and sat down at the table. The man took out bread, wine, and meat. There was so much of it that it would never run out. This makes me very happy, said the giant. He ate until he was full. Then the man asked, Can you tell me where the golden castle of Stromberg is? The giant said, I will look at my map. All the towns, and villages, and houses are on it.

v2 ¶15

Then he went with them up to his chamber, and they searched on his map, but could not find it. Then he brought out still older maps, and they never rested until they found the golden castle of Stromberg, but it was many thousand miles away. How am I to get there, asked the man. The giant said, I have two hours, time, during which I will carry you into the neighborhood, but after that I must be at home to suckle the child that we have.

v3 ¶15

He took out a map from the room and looked for the castle, but it was not on it. "That is okay," he said. "I have bigger maps upstairs in my cupboard. We can look at those." But there, too, he could not find it. The man wanted to leave, but the giant asked him to wait a few more days. He said his brother had gone out to get some food and would be home soon. When the brother finally returned, they asked him about the golden castle of Stromberg. He smiled and said, "I will look at the map after I have eaten my dinner.

v2 ¶16

So the giant carried the man to about a hundred leagues from the castle, and said, you can very well walk the rest of the way alone. And he turned back, but the man went onwards day and night, until at length he came to the golden castle of Stromberg.

v3 ¶16

Then he went with them up to his room. They looked at his map, but they could not find the place. Then he brought out even older maps. They did not stop looking until they found the golden castle of Stromberg. But it was very, very far away. "How can I get there?" asked the man. The giant said, "I have two hours. I will carry you close to the castle. But after that, I must go home to feed my baby.

v2 ¶17

It stood on a glass-mountain, and the bewitched maiden was driving in her carriage round the castle, and then went inside it. He rejoiced when he saw her and wanted to climb up to her, but when he began to do so he always slipped down the glass again. And when he saw that he could not reach her, he was very worried, and said to himself, I will stay down here below, and wait for her. So he built himself a hut and stayed in it for a whole year, and every day saw the king's daughter driving about above, but never could reach her.

v3 ¶17

The giant carried the man far away, until they were a hundred steps from the castle. Then, the giant said, "You can walk the rest of the way by yourself." The giant turned back to go home. The man kept walking, day and night, until he finally saw the golden castle of Stromberg.

v2 ¶18

Then one day he saw from his hut three robbers who were beating each other, and cried to them, God be with you. They stopped when they heard the cry, but as they saw no one, they once more began to beat each other, and that too most dangerously. So he again cried, God be with you. Again they stopped, looked round about, but as they saw no one they went on beating each other. Then he cried for the third time, God be with you, and thought, I must see what these three are about, and went thither and asked why they were beating each other so furiously. One of them said that he found a stick, and that when he struck a door with it, that door would spring open.

v3 ¶18

He sat on the glass mountain. The princess was driving her carriage around the castle, and then she went inside. He felt so happy when he saw her and wanted to fly up to her. But every time he tried to climb, he just slipped back down. When he saw that he could not reach her, he felt very sad. He said to himself, "I will stay down here and wait for her." So he built a small hut and lived there for a whole year. Every day, he watched the princess driving around above, but he could never reach her.

v2 ¶19

The next said that he had found a mantle, and that whenever he put it on, he was invisible, but the third said he had found a horse on which a man could ride everywhere even up the glass-mountain. And now they did not know whether they ought to have these things in common, or whether they ought to divide them.

v3 ¶19

Then one day he saw three robbers near his hut. They were hitting each other very hard. He called out, "God be with you." They stopped when they heard him, but they looked around and saw no one. So, they started hitting each other again. He called out a second time, "God be with you." They stopped again and looked all around, but they still saw no one. They went back to hitting each other. He called out a third time, "God be with you." He thought, I must see what these three are doing. He went to them and asked why they were hitting each other so furiously. One of them said that he found a stick. He said that when he hit a door with it, the door would open all by itself.

v2 ¶20

Then the man said, I will give you something in exchange for these three things. Money indeed have I not, but I have other things of more value, but first I must make an experiment to see if you have told the truth. Then they put him on the horse, threw the mantle round him, and gave him the stick in his hand, and when he had all these things they were no longer able to see him. So he gave them some vigorous blows and cried, now, vagabonds, you have got what you deserve, are you satisfied. And he rode up the glass-mountain, but when he came in front of the castle at the top, it was shut.

v3 ¶20

The next brother said he had found a cloak. Whenever he put it on, he became invisible. The third brother said he had found a horse. He could ride it anywhere, even up the glass mountain. Now, they did not know if they should share these gifts or keep them for themselves.

v2 ¶21

Then he struck the door with his stick, and it sprang open immediately. He went in and ascended the stairs until he came to the hall where the maiden was sitting with a golden globlet of wine before her. She, however, could not see him because he had the mantle on. And when he came up to her, he drew from his finger the ring which she had given him, and threw it into the goblet so that it rang. Then she cried, that is my ring, so the man who is to set me free must be here.

v3 ¶21

Then the man said, "I will give you something in exchange for these three things. I do not have money, but I have other things that are much more valuable. First, I must test you to see if you are telling the truth." They put him on the horse, wrapped the cloak around him, and gave him the stick in his hand. As soon as he had all these things, they could no longer see him. He gave them a strong, happy tap with the stick and cried, "Now, you have got what you deserve. Are you happy?" Then he rode up the glass mountain. But when he reached the castle at the top, the door was shut tight.

v2 ¶22

They searched the whole castle and did not find him, but he had gone out, and had seated himself on the horse and thrown off the mantle. When they came to the door, they saw him and cried aloud in their delight. Then he alighted and took the king's daughter in his arms, but she kissed him and said, now have you set me free, and to-morrow we will celebrate our wedding.

v3 ¶22

Then he tapped on the door with his stick, and it flew open right away. He walked inside and climbed the stairs until he reached the hall where the maiden was sitting. She had a golden cup of wine in front of her. But she could not see him because he was wearing his cloak. When he got close to her, he took the ring from his finger. He dropped it into the cup, and it made a loud *clink*. Then she cried out, "That is my ring! The man who will set me free must be here.

v3 ¶23

They looked everywhere in the castle, but they could not find him. He had gone outside and was sitting on the horse. He took off his heavy cloak. When they reached the door, they saw him and cheered with joy. He got off the horse and picked up the princess in his arms. She gave him a big kiss and said, "You have saved me! Tomorrow, we will have a happy wedding.

It's no matter, said he, I have some still larger maps in my cupboard upstairs, and we will look at them. But there, too, it was in vain. The man now wanted to set out again, but the giant begged him to wait a few days longer until his brother, who had gone out to bring some provisions, came home. When the brother came home they inquired about the golden castle of Stromberg. He replied, when I have eaten and have had enough, I will look at the map.",
"Then he went with them up to his chamber, and they searched on his map, but could not find it. Then he brought out still older maps, and they never rested until they found the golden castle of Stromberg, but it was many thousand miles away. How am I to get there, asked the man. The giant said, I have two hours, time, during which I will carry you into the neighborhood, but after that I must be at home to suckle the child that we have.",
"So the giant carried the man to about a hundred leagues from the castle, and said, you can very well walk the rest of the way alone. And he turned back, but the man went onwards day and night, until at length he came to the golden castle of Stromberg.",
"It stood on a glass-mountain, and the bewitched maiden was driving in her carriage round the castle, and then went inside it. He rejoiced when he saw her and wanted to climb up to her, but when he began to do so he always slipped down the glass again. And when he saw that he could not reach her, he was very worried, and said to himself, I will stay down here below, and wait for her. So he built himself a hut and stayed in it for a whole year, and every day saw the king's daughter driving about above, but never could reach her.",
"Then one day he saw from his hut three robbers who were beating each other, and cried to them, God be with you. They stopped when they heard the cry, but as they saw no one, they once more began to beat each other, and that too most dangerously. So he again cried, God be with you. Again they stopped, looked round about, but as they saw no one they went on beating each other. Then he cried for the third time, God be with you, and thought, I must see what these three are about, and went thither and asked why they were beating each other so furiously. One of them said that he found a stick, and that when he struck a door with it, that door would spring open. The next said that he had found a mantle, and that whenever he put it on, he was invisible, but the third said he had found a horse on which a man could ride everywhere even up the glass-mountain. And now they did not know whether they ought to have these things in common, or whether they ought to divide them.",
"Then the man said, I will give you something in exchange for these three things. Money indeed have I not, but I have other things of more value, but first I must make an experiment to see if you have told the truth. Then they put him on the horse, threw the mantle round him, and gave him the stick in his hand, and when he had all these things they were no longer able to see him. So he gave them some vigorous blows and cried, now, vagabonds, you have got what you deserve, are you satisfied. And he rode up the glass-mountain, but when he came in front of the castle at the top, it was shut.",
"Then he struck the door with his stick, and it sprang open immediately. He went in and ascended the stairs until he came to the hall where the maiden was sitting with a golden globlet of wine before her. She, however, could not see him because he had the mantle on. And when he came up to her, he drew from his finger the ring which she had given him, and threw it into the goblet so that it rang. Then she cried, that is my ring, so the man who is to set me free must be here.",
"They searched the whole castle and did not find him, but he had gone out, and had seated himself on the horse and thrown off the mantle. When they came to the door, they saw him and cried aloud in their delight. Then he alighted and took the king's daughter in his arms, but she kissed him and said, now have you set me free, and to-morrow we will celebrate our wedding."

"body_text": "There was once upon a time a queen who had a little daughter who was still so young that she had to be carried. One day the child was naughty, and the mother might say what she liked, but the child would not be quiet. Then she became impatient, and as the ravens were flying about the palace, she opened the window and said, I wish you were a raven and would fly away, and then I should have some rest. Scarcely had she spoken the words, before the child was changed into a raven, and flew from her arms out of the window. It flew into a dark forest, and stayed in it a long time, and the parents heard nothing of their child.\n\nThen one day a man was on his way through this forest and heard the raven crying, and followed the voice, and when he came nearer, the bird said, I am a king's daughter by birth, and am bewitched, but you can set me free. What am I to do, asked he. She said, go further into the forest, and you will find a house, wherein sits an aged woman, who will offer you meat and drink, but you must accept nothing, for if you eat and drink anything, you will fall into a sleep, and then you will not be able to set me free. In the garden behind the house there is a great heap of tan, and on this you shall stand and wait for me. For three days I will come every afternoon at two o'clock in a carriage. On the first day four white horses will be harnessed to it, then four chestnut horses, and lastly four black ones, but if you are not awake, but sleeping, I shall not be set free. The man promised to do everything that she desired, but the raven said, alas, I know already that you will not set me free, you will accept something from the woman. Then the man once more promised that he would certainly not touch anything either to eat or to drink.\n\nBut when he entered the house the old woman came to him and said, poor man, how faint you are, come and refresh yourself, eat and drink. No, said the man, I will not eat or drink. She, however, let him have no peace, and said, if you will not eat, take one drink out of the glass, one is nothing. Then he let himself be persuaded, and drank. Shortly before two o'clock in the afternoon he went into the garden to the tan heap to wait for the raven. As he was standing there, his weariness all at once became so great that he could not struggle against it, and lay down for a short time, but he was determined not to go to sleep. Hardly, however, had he lain down, than his eyes closed of their own accord, and he fell asleep and slept so soundly that nothing in the world could have aroused him.\n\nAt two o'clock the raven came driving up with four white horses, but she was already in deep grief and said, I know he is asleep. And when she came into the garden, he was indeed lying there asleep on the heap of tan. She alighted from the carriage, went to him, shook him, and called him, but he did not awake. Next day about noon, the old woman came again and brought him food and drink, but he would not take any of it. But she let him have no rest and persuaded him until at length he again took one drink out of the glass. Towards two o'clock he went into the garden to the tan heap to wait for the raven, but all at once felt such a great weariness that his limbs would no longer support him. He could not help himself, and was forced to lie down, and fell into a heavy sleep.\n\nWhen the raven drove up with four brown horses, she was already full of grief, and said, I know he is asleep. She went to him, but there he lay sleeping, and there was no wakening him. Next day the old woman asked what was the meaning of this. He was neither eating nor drinking anything, did he want to die. He replied, I am not allowed to eat or drink, and will not do so. But she set a dish with food, and a glass with wine before him, and when he smelt it he could not resist, and swallowed a deep draught. When the time came, he went out into the garden to the heap of tan, and waited for the king's daughter, but he became still more weary than on the day before, and lay down and slept as soundly as if he had been a stone. At two o'clock the raven came with four black horses, and the coachman and everything else was black. She was already in the deepest grief, and said, I know that he is asleep and cannot set me free.\n\nWhen she came to him, there he was lying fast asleep. She shook him and called him, but she could not waken him. Then she laid a loaf beside him, and after that a piece of meat, and thirdly a bottle of wine, and he might consume as much of all of them as he liked, but they would never grow less. After this she took a gold ring from her finger, and put it on his, and her name was graven on it. Lastly, she laid a letter beside him wherein was written what she had given him, and that none of the things would ever grow less, and in it was also written, I see right well that here you will never be able to set me free, but if you are still willing to do so, come to the golden castle of Stromberg; it lies in your power, of that I am certain. And when she had given him all these things, she seated herself in her carriage, and drove to the golden castle of Stromberg.\n\nWhen the man awoke and saw that he had slept, he was sad at heart, and said, she has certainly driven by, and I have not set her free. Then he perceived the things which were lying beside him, and read the letter wherein was written how everything had happened. So he arose and went away, intending to go to the golden castle of Stromberg, but he did not know where it was. After he had walked about the world for a long time, he entered into a dark forest, and walked for fourteen days, and still could not find his way out. Then it was once more evening, and he was so tired that he lay down in a thicket and fell asleep. Next day he went onwards, and in the evening, as he was again about to lie down beneath some bushes, he heard such a howling and crying that he could not go to sleep. And at the time when people light the candles, he saw one glimmering, and arose and went towards it.\n\nThen he came to a house which seemed very small, for in front of it a great giant was standing. He thought to himself, if I go in, and the giant sees me, it will very likely cost me my life. At length he ventured it and went in. When the giant saw him, he said, it is well that you come, for it is long since I have eaten, I will at once devour you for my supper. I'd rather you did not, said the man, I do not like to be eaten, but if you have any desire to eat, I have quite enough here to satisfy you. If that be true, said the giant, you may be easy, I was only going to devour you because I had nothing else.\n\nThen they went, and sat down to the table, and the man took out the bread, wine, and meat which would never come to an end. This pleases me well, said the giant, and ate to his heart's content. Then the man said to him, can you tell me where the golden castle of Stromberg is. The giant said, I will look at my map, all the towns, and villages, and houses are to be found on it.\n\nHe brought out the map which he had in the room and looked for the castle, but it was not to be found on it.

Next day he went onwards, and in the evening, as he was again about to lie down beneath some bushes, he heard such a howling and crying that he could not go to sleep. And at the time when people light the candles, he saw one glimmering, and arose and went towards it.\n\nThen he came to a house which seemed very small, for in front of it a great giant was standing. He thought to himself, if I go in, and the giant sees me, it will very likely cost me my life. At length he ventured it and went in. When the giant saw him, he said, it is well that you come, for it is long since I have eaten, I will at once devour you for my supper. I'd rather you did not, said the man, I do not like to be eaten, but if you have any desire to eat, I have quite enough here to satisfy you. If that be true, said the giant, you may be easy, I was only going to devour you because I had nothing else.\n\nThen they went, and sat down to the table, and the man took out the bread, wine, and meat which would never come to an end. This pleases me well, said the giant, and ate to his heart's content. Then the man said to him, can you tell me where the golden castle of Stromberg is. The giant said, I will look at my map, all the towns, and villages, and houses are to be found on it.\n\nHe brought out the map which he had in the room and looked for the castle, but it was not to be found on it. It's no matter, said he, I have some still larger maps in my cupboard upstairs, and we will look at them. But there, too, it was in vain. The man now wanted to set out again, but the giant begged him to wait a few days longer until his brother, who had gone out to bring some provisions, came home. When the brother came home they inquired about the golden castle of Stromberg. He replied, when I have eaten and have had enough, I will look at the map.\n\nThen he went with them up to his chamber, and they searched on his map, but could not find it. Then he brought out still older maps, and they never rested until they found the golden castle of Stromberg, but it was many thousand miles away. How am I to get there, asked the man. The giant said, I have two hours, time, during which I will carry you into the neighborhood, but after that I must be at home to suckle the child that we have.\n\nSo the giant carried the man to about a hundred leagues from the castle, and said, you can very well walk the rest of the way alone. And he turned back, but the man went onwards day and night, until at length he came to the golden castle of Stromberg.\n\nIt stood on a glass-mountain, and the bewitched maiden was driving in her carriage round the castle, and then went inside it. He rejoiced when he saw her and wanted to climb up to her, but when he began to do so he always slipped down the glass again. And when he saw that he could not reach her, he was very worried, and said to himself, I will stay down here below, and wait for her. So he built himself a hut and stayed in it for a whole year, and every day saw the king's daughter driving about above, but never could reach her.\n\nThen one day he saw from his hut three robbers who were beating each other, and cried to them, God be with you. They stopped when they heard the cry, but as they saw no one, they once more began to beat each other, and that too most dangerously. So he again cried, God be with you. Again they stopped, looked round about, but as they saw no one they went on beating each other. Then he cried for the third time, God be with you, and thought, I must see what these three are about, and went thither and asked why they were beating each other so furiously. One of them said that he found a stick, and that when he struck a door with it, that door would spring open. The next said that he had found a mantle, and that whenever he put it on, he was invisible, but the third said he had found a horse on which a man could ride everywhere even up the glass-mountain. And now they did not know whether they ought to have these things in common, or whether they ought to divide them.\n\nThen the man said, I will give you something in exchange for these three things. Money indeed have I not, but I have other things of more value, but first I must make an experiment to see if you have told the truth. Then they put him on the horse, threw the mantle round him, and gave him the stick in his hand, and when he had all these things they were no longer able to see him. So he gave them some vigorous blows and cried, now, vagabonds, you have got what you deserve, are you satisfied. And he rode up the glass-mountain, but when he came in front of the castle at the top, it was shut.\n\nThen he struck the door with his stick, and it sprang open immediately. He went in and ascended the stairs until he came to the hall where the maiden was sitting with a golden globlet of wine before her. She, however, could not see him because he had the mantle on. And when he came up to her, he drew from his finger the ring which she had given him, and threw it into the goblet so that it rang. Then she cried, that is my ring, so the man who is to set me free must be here.\n\nThey searched the whole castle and did not find him, but he had gone out, and had seated himself on the horse and thrown off the mantle. When they came to the door, they saw him and cried aloud in their delight. Then he alighted and took the king's daughter in his arms, but she kissed him and said, now have you set me free, and to-morrow we will celebrate our wedding.",

"There was once upon a time a queen who had a little daughter who was still so young that she had to be carried. One day the child was naughty, and the mother might say what she liked, but the child would not be quiet. Then she became impatient, and as the ravens were flying about the palace, she opened the window and said, I wish you were a raven and would fly away, and then I should have some rest. Scarcely had she spoken the words, before the child was changed into a raven, and flew from her arms out of the window. It flew into a dark forest, and stayed in it a long time, and the parents heard nothing of their child.",
"Then one day a man was on his way through this forest and heard the raven crying, and followed the voice, and when he came nearer, the bird said, I am a king's daughter by birth, and am bewitched, but you can set me free. What am I to do, asked he. She said, go further into the forest, and you will find a house, wherein sits an aged woman, who will offer you meat and drink, but you must accept nothing, for if you eat and drink anything, you will fall into a sleep, and then you will not be able to set me free. In the garden behind the house there is a great heap of tan, and on this you shall stand and wait for me. For three days I will come every afternoon at two o'clock in a carriage.",
"On the first day four white horses will be harnessed to it, then four chestnut horses, and lastly four black ones, but if you are not awake, but sleeping, I shall not be set free. The man promised to do everything that she desired, but the raven said, alas, I know already that you will not set me free, you will accept something from the woman. Then the man once more promised that he would certainly not touch anything either to eat or to drink.",
"But when he entered the house the old woman came to him and said, poor man, how faint you are, come and refresh yourself, eat and drink. No, said the man, I will not eat or drink. She, however, let him have no peace, and said, if you will not eat, take one drink out of the glass, one is nothing. Then he let himself be persuaded, and drank. Shortly before two o'clock in the afternoon he went into the garden to the tan heap to wait for the raven. As he was standing there, his weariness all at once became so great that he could not struggle against it, and lay down for a short time, but he was determined not to go to sleep. Hardly, however, had he lain down, than his eyes closed of their own accord, and he fell asleep and slept so soundly that nothing in the world could have aroused him.",
"At two o'clock the raven came driving up with four white horses, but she was already in deep grief and said, I know he is asleep. And when she came into the garden, he was indeed lying there asleep on the heap of tan. She alighted from the carriage, went to him, shook him, and called him, but he did not awake. Next day about noon, the old woman came again and brought him food and drink, but he would not take any of it. But she let him have no rest and persuaded him until at length he again took one drink out of the glass.

But she set a dish with food, and a glass with wine before him, and when he smelt it he could not resist, and swallowed a deep draught. When the time came, he went out into the garden to the heap of tan, and waited for the king's daughter, but he became still more weary than on the day before, and lay down and slept as soundly as if he had been a stone.",
"At two o'clock the raven came with four black horses, and the coachman and everything else was black. She was already in the deepest grief, and said, I know that he is asleep and cannot set me free.",
"When she came to him, there he was lying fast asleep. She shook him and called him, but she could not waken him. Then she laid a loaf beside him, and after that a piece of meat, and thirdly a bottle of wine, and he might consume as much of all of them as he liked, but they would never grow less. After this she took a gold ring from her finger, and put it on his, and her name was graven on it. Lastly, she laid a letter beside him wherein was written what she had given him, and that none of the things would ever grow less, and in it was also written, I see right well that here you will never be able to set me free, but if you are still willing to do so, come to the golden castle of Stromberg; it lies in your power, of that I am certain.",

Then she laid a loaf beside him, and after that a piece of meat, and thirdly a bottle of wine, and he might consume as much of all of them as he liked, but they would never grow less. After this she took a gold ring from her finger, and put it on his, and her name was graven on it. Lastly, she laid a letter beside him wherein was written what she had given him, and that none of the things would ever grow less, and in it was also written, I see right well that here you will never be able to set me free, but if you are still willing to do so, come to the golden castle of Stromberg; it lies in your power, of that I am certain. And when she had given him all these things, she seated herself in her carriage, and drove to the golden castle of Stromberg.\n\nWhen the man awoke and saw that he had slept, he was sad at heart, and said, she has certainly driven by, and I have not set her free. Then he perceived the things which were lying beside him, and read the letter wherein was written how everything had happened. So he arose and went away, intending to go to the golden castle of Stromberg, but he did not know where it was. After he had walked about the world for a long time, he entered into a dark forest, and walked for fourteen days, and still could not find his way out. Then it was once more evening, and he was so tired that he lay down in a thicket and fell asleep. Next day he went onwards, and in the evening, as he was again about to lie down beneath some bushes, he heard such a howling and crying that he could not go to sleep. And at the time when people light the candles, he saw one glimmering, and arose and went towards it.\n\nThen he came to a house which seemed very small, for in front of it a great giant was standing. He thought to himself, if I go in, and the giant sees me, it will very likely cost me my life. At length he ventured it and went in. When the giant saw him, he said, it is well that you come, for it is long since I have eaten, I will at once devour you for my supper. I would rather you did not, said the man, I do not like to be eaten, but if you have any desire to eat, I have quite enough here to satisfy you. If that be true, said the giant, you may be easy, I was only going to devour you because I had nothing else.\n\nThen they went, and sat down to the table, and the man took out the bread, wine, and meat which would never come to an end. This pleases me well, said the giant, and ate to his heart's content. Then the man said to him, can you tell me where the golden castle of Stromberg is. The giant said, I will look at my map, all the towns, and villages, and houses are to be found on it.\n\nHe brought out the map which he had in the room and looked for the castle, but it was not to be found on it. It is no matter, said he, I have some still larger maps in my cupboard upstairs, and we will look at them. But there, too, it was in vain. The man now wanted to set out again, but the giant begged him to wait a few days longer until his brother, who had gone out to bring some provisions, came home. When the brother came home they inquired about the golden castle of Stromberg. He replied, when I have eaten and have had enough, I will look at the map.\n\nThen he went with them up to his chamber, and they searched on his map, but could not find it. Then he brought out still older maps, and they never rested until they found the golden castle of Stromberg, but it was many thousand miles away. How am I to get there, asked the man. The giant said, I have two hours, time, during which I will carry you into the neighborhood, but after that I must be at home to suckle the child that we have.\n\nSo the giant carried the man to about a hundred leagues from the castle, and said, you can very well walk the rest of the way alone. And he turned back, but the man went onwards day and night, until at length he came to the golden castle of Stromberg.\n\nIt stood on a glass-mountain, and the bewitched maiden was driving in her carriage round the castle, and then went inside it. He rejoiced when he saw her and wanted to climb up to her, but when he began to do so he always slipped down the glass again. And when he saw that he could not reach her, he was very worried, and said to himself, I will stay down here below, and wait for her. So he built himself a hut and stayed in it for a whole year, and every day saw the king's daughter driving about above, but never could reach her.\n\nThen one day he saw from his hut three robbers who were beating each other, and cried to them, God be with you. They stopped when they heard the cry, but as they saw no one, they once more began to beat each other, and that too most dangerously. So he again cried, God be with you. Again they stopped, looked round about, but as they saw no one they went on beating each other. Then he cried for the third time, God be with you, and thought, I must see what these three are about, and went thither and asked why they were beating each other so furiously. One of them said that he found a stick, and that when he struck a door with it, that door would spring open. The next said that he had found a mantle, and that whenever he put it on, he was invisible, but the third said he had found a horse on which a man could ride everywhere even up the glass-mountain. And now they did not know whether they ought to have these things in common, or whether they ought to divide them.\n\nThen the man said, I will give you something in exchange for these three things. Money indeed have I not, but I have other things of more value, but first I must make an experiment to see if you have told the truth. Then they put him on the horse, threw the mantle round him, and gave him the stick in his hand, and when he had all these things they were no longer able to see him. So he gave them some vigorous blows and cried, now, vagabonds, you have got what you deserve, are you satisfied. And he rode up the glass-mountain, but when he came in front of the castle at the top, it was shut.\n\nThen he struck the door with his stick, and it sprang open immediately. He went in and ascended the stairs until he came to the hall where the maiden was sitting with a golden globlet of wine before her. She, however, could not see him because he had the mantle on. And when he came up to her, he drew from his finger the ring which she had given him, and threw it into the goblet so that it rang. Then she cried, that is my ring, so the man who is to set me free must be here.\n\nThey searched the whole castle and did not find him, but he had gone out, and had seated himself on the horse and thrown off the mantle. When they came to the door, they saw him and cried aloud in their delight. Then he alighted and took the king's daughter in his arms, but she kissed him and said, now have you set me free, and to-morrow we will celebrate our wedding.",

"There was once upon a time a queen who had a little daughter who was still so young that she had to be carried. One day the child was naughty, and the mother might say what she liked, but the child would not be quiet. Then she became impatient, and as the ravens were flying about the palace, she opened the window and said, I wish you were a raven and would fly away, and then I should have some rest. Scarcely had she spoken the words, before the child was changed into a raven, and flew from her arms out of the window. It flew into a dark forest, and stayed in it a long time, and the parents heard nothing of their child.",
"Then one day a man was on his way through this forest and heard the raven crying, and followed the voice, and when he came nearer, the bird said, I am a king's daughter by birth, and am bewitched, but you can set me free. What am I to do, asked he. She said, go further into the forest, and you will find a house, wherein sits an aged woman, who will offer you meat and drink, but you must accept nothing, for if you eat and drink anything, you will fall into a sleep, and then you will not be able to set me free. In the garden behind the house there is a great heap of tan, and on this you shall stand and wait for me. For three days I will come every afternoon at two o'clock in a carriage.",
"On the first day four white horses will be harnessed to it, then four chestnut horses, and lastly four black ones, but if you are not awake, but sleeping, I shall not be set free. The man promised to do everything that she desired, but the raven said, alas, I know already that you will not set me free, you will accept something from the woman. Then the man once more promised that he would certainly not touch anything either to eat or to drink.",
"But when he entered the house the old woman came to him and said, poor man, how faint you are, come and refresh yourself, eat and drink. No, said the man, I will not eat or drink. She, however, let him have no peace, and said, if you will not eat, take one drink out of the glass, one is nothing. Then he let himself be persuaded, and drank. Shortly before two o'clock in the afternoon he went into the garden to the tan heap to wait for the raven. As he was standing there, his weariness all at once became so great that he could not struggle against it, and lay down for a short time, but he was determined not to go to sleep. Hardly, however, had he lain down, than his eyes closed of their own accord, and he fell asleep and slept so soundly that nothing in the world could have aroused him.",
"At two o'clock the raven came driving up with four white horses, but she was already in deep grief and said, I know he is asleep. And when she came into the garden, he was indeed lying there asleep on the heap of tan. She alighted from the carriage, went to him, shook him, and called him, but he did not awake. Next day about noon, the old woman came again and brought him food and drink, but he would not take any of it. But she let him have no rest and persuaded him until at length he again took one drink out of the glass. Towards two o'clock he went into the garden to the tan heap to wait for the raven, but all at once felt such a great weariness that his limbs would no longer support him. He could not help himself, and was forced to lie down, and fell into a heavy sleep.",
"When the raven drove up with four brown horses, she was already full of grief, and said, I know he is asleep. She went to him, but there he lay sleeping, and there was no wakening him. Next day the old woman asked what was the meaning of this. He was neither eating nor drinking anything, did he want to die. He replied, I am not allowed to eat or drink, and will not do so. But she set a dish with food, and a glass with wine before him, and when he smelt it he could not resist, and swallowed a deep draught. When the time came, he went out into the garden to the heap of tan, and waited for the king's daughter, but he became still more weary than on the day before, and lay down and slept as soundly as if he had been a stone.",
"At two o'clock the raven came with four black horses, and the coachman and everything else was black. She was already in the deepest grief, and said, I know that he is asleep and cannot set me free.",

And when he came up to her, he drew from his finger the ring which she had given him, and threw it into the goblet so that it rang. Then she cried, that is my ring, so the man who is to set me free must be here.",
"They searched the whole castle and did not find him, but he had gone out, and had seated himself on the horse and thrown off the mantle. When they came to the door, they saw him and cried aloud in their delight. Then he alighted and took the king's daughter in his arms, but she kissed him and said, now have you set me free, and to-morrow we will celebrate our wedding."

"Once upon a time, there was a queen who had a very little daughter. The baby was so tiny that she had to be carried in her mother's arms. One day, the child was being naughty and would not stop crying. The mother tried to calm her down, but nothing worked. Finally, the queen became impatient. She looked out the window and saw the ravens flying in the sky. She said, \"I wish you were a raven and would fly away, so I could get some rest.\" Scarcely had she spoken the words before the baby changed into a raven and flew out the window. The bird flew into a dark forest and stayed there for a long time. The parents were very sad and could not find their little girl.",
"One day, a man was walking through the forest when he heard a sad raven crying. He followed the sound until the bird spoke. \"I am a king's daughter,\" she said. \"A bad spell has turned me into a bird. You can set me free.\" \"What must I do?\" the man asked. \"Go deeper into the woods,\" she told him. \"You will find a house with an old woman inside. She will offer you food and drink, but you must say no. If you eat or drink anything, you will fall into a deep sleep and I will stay a bird forever. Behind the house, there is a big pile of sawdust. Stand on it and wait for me. I will come every afternoon at two o'clock in a carriage.",
"On the first day, four white horses will pull the cage. Then, four chestnut horses will pull it. Finally, four black horses will pull it. But if you are sleeping, I will not be set free. The man promised to do everything she wanted. The raven said, \"Alas, I know you will not set me free. You will take something from the woman.\" The man promised again that he would not eat or drink anything.",
"But when he entered the house, the old woman came to him. She looked at him with kind eyes and said, \"Poor man, you look so tired. Come inside and rest. Please, have some food and water.\"\n\n\"No, thank you,\" the man said softly. \"I do not want to eat.\"\n\nThe old woman was very gentle. She did not give up. \"If you will not eat, just take one small sip from this glass. One drink is nothing at all.\"\n\nSo, he let her help him. He took a little drink. Then, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. He went out to the garden, to the soft pile of tan leaves, to wait for the raven.\n\nHe stood there quietly. Suddenly, his tiredness felt very heavy. He could not fight it anymore. He lay down on the soft leaves for just a moment. He promised himself he would not close his eyes.\n\nBut as soon as his head touched the leaves, his eyes closed all by themselves. He fell fast asleep. He slept so deeply that nothing in the world could have woken him up.",
"At two o'clock, the raven came driving up with four white horses. She looked very sad and said, \"I know he is asleep.\" When she got to the garden, he was indeed lying there fast asleep on the pile of soft sawdust. She got out of the carriage, walked over to him, shook him gently, and called his name, but he did not wake up.\n\nThe next day, around noon, the old woman came back again. She brought him food and drink, but he did not want to eat or drink. She did not let him rest, though, and talked to him until he finally took one small sip from the glass. Then, around two o'clock, he went into the garden to wait for the raven. But suddenly, he felt so very tired that his legs could not hold him up anymore. He could not help himself, so he had to lie down and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.",
"When the raven arrived with four brown horses, she was already feeling very sad. She knew he was fast asleep. She went to him, but he lay there quietly, and she could not wake him up.\n\nThe next day, the old woman asked what was wrong. He was not eating or drinking anything. She asked if he wanted to die. He said, \"I am not allowed to eat or drink, and I will not do so.\" But she put a dish of food and a glass of wine in front of him. When he smelled it, he could not resist. He took a big drink.\n\nWhen the time came, he went out to the garden to the pile of soft leaves. He waited for the king's daughter, but he felt even more tired than the day before. He lay down and slept as soundly as a stone.",
"At two o'clock, the raven arrived with four black horses. The coachman and everything else was black, too. She was already feeling very sad. She said, \"I know he is asleep and cannot set me free.",
"When she came to him, he was fast asleep. She shook him and called his name, but he would not wake up. She put a loaf of bread next to him, then a piece of meat, and finally a bottle of wine. He could eat and drink as much as he wanted, but the food would never run out. Next, she took a gold ring from her finger and put it on his hand. Her name was written on the ring. Finally, she left a letter beside him. It told him what she had given him and that the food would never run out. It also said, \"I know you cannot set me free here. But if you are still willing to help me, go to the golden castle of Stromberg. I am sure you can find a way there.",
"Then she gave him all the gifts. She got into her carriage and drove to the golden castle of Stromberg.",
"When the man woke up, he felt very sad. He thought, \"She has gone away, and I never got to set her free.\" He looked at the things lying beside him and read the letter. It told him exactly what had happened. He stood up and started walking, hoping to find the golden castle of Stromberg. But he did not know where it was. He walked through the world for a long time. Soon, he found himself in a dark forest. He walked for fourteen days, but he could not find his way out. It was evening again, and he was so tired that he lay down in a thicket and fell fast asleep. The next day, he kept walking. In the evening, just as he was about to lie down under some bushes, he heard a loud howling and crying. It was so scary that he could not go to sleep.",
"And when the people lit the candles, he saw one little light shining. He got up and walked toward it.",
"Then he came to a house that looked very small. A big giant was standing right in front of it. The man thought to himself, \"If I go inside and the giant sees me, he might hurt me.\" But he was brave, so he went in. When the giant saw him, he said, \"It is good you are here. I have not eaten in a long time. I will eat you for my supper right now.\" The man said, \"Please do not eat me. I do not like to be eaten. But if you are hungry, I have plenty of food here to share.\" The giant smiled and said, \"If that is true, you are safe. I was only going to eat you because I had nothing else to eat.",
"Then they went and sat down at the table. The man took out bread, wine, and meat. There was so much of it that it would never run out. This makes me very happy, said the giant. He ate until he was full. Then the man asked, Can you tell me where the golden castle of Stromberg is? The giant said, I will look at my map. All the towns, and villages, and houses are on it.",
"He took out a map from the room and looked for the castle, but it was not on it. \"That is okay,\" he said. \"I have bigger maps upstairs in my cupboard. We can look at those.\" But there, too, he could not find it. The man wanted to leave, but the giant asked him to wait a few more days. He said his brother had gone out to get some food and would be home soon. When the brother finally returned, they asked him about the golden castle of Stromberg. He smiled and said, \"I will look at the map after I have eaten my dinner.",
"Then he went with them up to his room. They looked at his map, but they could not find the place. Then he brought out even older maps. They did not stop looking until they found the golden castle of Stromberg. But it was very, very far away. \"How can I get there?\" asked the man. The giant said, \"I have two hours. I will carry you close to the castle. But after that, I must go home to feed my baby.",
"The giant carried the man far away, until they were a hundred steps from the castle. Then, the giant said, \"You can walk the rest of the way by yourself.\" The giant turned back to go home. The man kept walking, day and night, until he finally saw the golden castle of Stromberg.",
"He sat on the glass mountain. The princess was driving her carriage around the castle, and then she went inside. He felt so happy when he saw her and wanted to fly up to her. But every time he tried to climb, he just slipped back down. When he saw that he could not reach her, he felt very sad. He said to himself, \"I will stay down here and wait for her.\" So he built a small hut and lived there for a whole year. Every day, he watched the princess driving around above, but he could never reach her.",
"Then one day he saw three robbers near his hut. They were hitting each other very hard. He called out, \"God be with you.\" They stopped when they heard him, but they looked around and saw no one. So, they started hitting each other again. He called out a second time, \"God be with you.\" They stopped again and looked all around, but they still saw no one. They went back to hitting each other. He called out a third time, \"God be with you.\" He thought, I must see what these three are doing. He went to them and asked why they were hitting each other so furiously. One of them said that he found a stick. He said that when he hit a door with it, the door would open all by itself.",
"The next brother said he had found a cloak. Whenever he put it on, he became invisible. The third brother said he had found a horse. He could ride it anywhere, even up the glass mountain. Now, they did not know if they should share these gifts or keep them for themselves.",
"Then the man said, \"I will give you something in exchange for these three things. I do not have money, but I have other things that are much more valuable. First, I must test you to see if you are telling the truth.\" They put him on the horse, wrapped the cloak around him, and gave him the stick in his hand. As soon as he had all these things, they could no longer see him. He gave them a strong, happy tap with the stick and cried, \"Now, you have got what you deserve. Are you happy?\" Then he rode up the glass mountain. But when he reached the castle at the top, the door was shut tight.",
"Then he tapped on the door with his stick, and it flew open right away. He walked inside and climbed the stairs until he reached the hall where the maiden was sitting. She had a golden cup of wine in front of her. But she could not see him because he was wearing his cloak. When he got close to her, he took the ring from his finger. He dropped it into the cup, and it made a loud *clink*. Then she cried out, \"That is my ring! The man who will set me free must be here.",
"They looked everywhere in the castle, but they could not find him. He had gone outside and was sitting on the horse. He took off his heavy cloak. When they reached the door, they saw him and cheered with joy. He got off the horse and picked up the princess in his arms. She gave him a big kiss and said, \"You have saved me! Tomorrow, we will have a happy wedding."

Every day, he watched the princess driving around above, but he could never reach her.",
"Then one day he saw three robbers near his hut. They were hitting each other very hard. He called out, \"God be with you.\" They stopped when they heard him, but they looked around and saw no one. So, they started hitting each other again. He called out a second time, \"God be with you.\" They stopped again and looked all around, but they still saw no one. They went back to hitting each other. He called out a third time, \"God be with you.\" He thought, I must see what these three are doing. He went to them and asked why they were hitting each other so furiously. One of them said that he found a stick. He said that when he hit a door with it, the door would open all by itself.",
"The next brother said he had found a cloak. Whenever he put it on, he became invisible. The third brother said he had found a horse. He could ride it anywhere, even up the glass mountain. Now, they did not know if they should share these gifts or keep them for themselves.",
"Then the man said, \"I will give you something in exchange for these three things. I do not have money, but I have other things that are much more valuable. First, I must test you to see if you are telling the truth.\" They put him on the horse, wrapped the cloak around him, and gave him the stick in his hand. As soon as he had all these things, they could no longer see him. He gave them a strong, happy tap with the stick and cried, \"Now, you have got what you deserve. Are you happy?\" Then he rode up the glass mountain. But when he reached the castle at the top, the door was shut tight.",
"Then he tapped on the door with his stick, and it flew open right away. He walked inside and climbed the stairs until he reached the hall where the maiden was sitting. She had a golden cup of wine in front of her. But she could not see him because he was wearing his cloak. When he got close to her, he took the ring from his finger. He dropped it into the cup, and it made a loud *clink*. Then she cried out, \"That is my ring! The man who will set me free must be here.",
"They looked everywhere in the castle, but they could not find him. He had gone outside and was sitting on the horse. He took off his heavy cloak. When they reached the door, they saw him and cheered with joy. He got off the horse and picked up the princess in his arms. She gave him a big kiss and said, \"You have saved me! Tomorrow, we will have a happy wedding."
