No sooner was this done than the Wizard King was seen in the air under the form of some unknown bird , exclaiming as he flew off that he would never forgive either his son or the Fairy the cruel wrong they had done him . Everyone entreated the Fairy to settle in the kingdom where she now was , to which she consented . She built herself a magnificent palace , to which she transported her books and fairy secrets , and where she enjoyed the sight of the perfect happiness she had helped to bestow on the entire royal family . THE NIXY -LRB- 15 -RRB- -LRB- 15 -RRB- From the German . Kletke . There was once upon a time a miller who was very well off , and had as much money and as many goods as he knew what to do with . But sorrow comes in the night , and the miller all of a sudden became so poor that at last he could hardly call the mill in which he sat his own . He wandered about all day full of despair and misery , and when he lay down at night he could get no rest , but lay awake all night sunk in sorrowful thoughts . One morning he rose up before dawn and went outside , for he thought his heart would be lighter in the open air . As he wandered up and down on the banks of the mill-pond he heard a rustling in the water , and when he looked near he saw a white woman rising up from the waves . He realised at once that this could be none other than the nixy of the mill-pond , and in his terror he did n't know if he should fly away or remain where he was . While he hesitated the nixy spoke , called him by his name , and asked him why he was so sad . When the miller heard how friendly her tone was , he plucked up heart and told her how rich and prosperous he had been all his life up till now , when he did n't know what he was to do for want and misery . Then the nixy spoke comforting words to him , and promised that she would make him richer and more prosperous than he had ever been in his life before , if he would give her in return the youngest thing in his house . The miller thought she must mean one of his puppies or kittens , so promised the nixy at once what she asked , and returned to his mill full of hope . On the threshold he was greeted by a servant with the news that his wife had just given birth to a boy . The poor miller was much horrified by these tidings , and went in to his wife with a heavy heart to tell her and his relations of the fatal bargain he had just struck with the nixy . ' I would gladly give up all the good fortune she promised me , ' he said , ` if I could only save my child . ' But no one could think of any advice to give him , beyond taking care that the child never went near the mill-pond . So the boy throve and grew big , and in the meantime all prospered with the miller , and in a few years he was richer than he had ever been before .
But all the same he did not enjoy his good fortune , XXXXX he could not forget his compact with the nixy , and he knew that sooner or later she would demand his fulfilment of it .
