. '' `` Little goose girl , who kept a hundred fat geese in the field , '' said Amy , when Sallie 's invention gave out . `` The little girl was sorry for them , and asked an old woman what she should do to help them . ` Your geese will tell you , they know everything . ' said the old woman . So she asked what she should use for new heads , since the old ones were lost , and all the geese opened their hundred mouths and screamed ... '' '' ` Cabbages ! ' '' continued Laurie promptly . '' ` Just the thing , ' said the girl , and ran to get twelve fine ones from her garden . She put them on , the knights revived at once , thanked her , and went on their way rejoicing , never knowing the difference , for there were so many other heads like them in the world that no one thought anything of it . The knight in whom I 'm interested went back to find the pretty face , and learned that the princesses had spun themselves free and all gone and married , but one . He was in a great state of mind at that , and mounting the colt , who stood by him through thick and thin , rushed to the castle to see which was left . Peeping over the hedge , he saw the queen of his affections picking flowers in her garden . ` Will you give me a rose ? ' said he . ` You must come and get it . I ca n't come to you , it is n't proper , ' said she , as sweet as honey . He tried to climb over the hedge , but it seemed to grow higher and higher . Then he tried to push through , but it grew thicker and thicker , and he was in despair . So he patiently broke twig after twig till he had made a little hole through which he peeped , saying imploringly , ` Let me in ! Let me in ! '
But the pretty princess did not seem to understand , for she picked her roses quietly , and XXXXX him to fight his way in .
