` And you do well , for he deserves everything . Go back , and when you get home your wife will just have had a little boy . Take three drops of blood from the child 's little finger , rub them on your servant 's wrists with a blade of grass and he will return to life . ' ' I have another thing to ask , ' said the prince , when he had thanked him . ` In the forest near here is a fine stream but not a fish or other living creature in it . Why is this ? ' ` Because no one has ever been drowned in the stream . But take care , in crossing , to get as near the other side as you can before you say so , or you may be the first victim yourself . ' ` Another question , please , before I go . On my way here I lodged one night in the house of three maidens . All were well-mannered , hard-working , and pretty , and yet none has had a wooer . Why was this ? ' ` Because they always throw out their sweepings in the face of the sun . ' ` And why is it that a miller , who has a large mill with all the best machinery and gets plenty of corn to grind is so poor that he can hardly live from day to day ? ' ` Because the miller keeps everything for himself , and does not give to those who need it . ' The prince wrote down the answers to his questions , took a friendly leave of Lucky Luck , and set off for home . When he reached the stream it asked if he brought it any good news . ` When I get across I will tell you , ' said he . So the stream parted ; he walked through and on to the highest part of the bank . He stopped and shouted out : ` Listen , oh stream !
Lucky Luck says you will never have any living creature in your waters until someone is XXXXX in you . '
