Soon after the second daughter came in , and thought to pluck a golden feather for herself too ; but hardly had she touched her sister than she stuck fast as well . At last the third sister came with the same intentions , but the other two cried out : ` Keep off ! for Heaven 's sake , keep off ! ' The younger sister could not imagine why she was to keep off , and thought to herself : ` If they are both there , why should not I be there too ? ' So she sprang to them ; but no sooner had she touched one of them than she stuck fast to her . So they all three had to spend the night with the goose . Next morning Dullhead tucked the goose under his arm and went off , without in the least troubling himself about the three girls who were hanging on to it . They just had to run after him right or left as best they could . In the middle of a field they met the parson , and when he saw this procession he cried : ` For shame , you bold girls ! What do you mean by running after a young fellow through the fields like that ? Do you call that proper behaviour ? ' And with that he caught the youngest girl by the hand to try and draw her away . But directly he touched her he hung on himself , and had to run along with the rest of them . Not long after the clerk came that way , and was much surprised to see the parson following the footsteps of three girls . ` Why , where is your reverence going so fast ? ' cried he ; ` do n't forget there is to be a christening to-day ; ' and he ran after him , caught him by the sleeve , and hung on to it himself : As the five of them trotted along in this fashion one after the other , two peasants were coming from their work with their hoes . On seeing them the parson called out and begged them to come and rescue him and the clerk . But no sooner did they touch the clerk than they stuck on too , and so there were seven of them running after Dullhead and his goose . After a time they all came to a town where a King reigned whose daughter was so serious and solemn that no one could ever manage to make her laugh . So the King had decreed that whoever should succeed in making her laugh should marry her .
When XXXXX heard this he marched before the Princess with his goose and its appendages , and as soon as she saw these seven people continually running after each other she burst out laughing , and could not stop herself .
