Are you still warm , little love ? ' And the poor girl was so stiff and numb that she could just gasp , ` Still warm , O King ! ' Now her gentle , courteous words and her uncomplaining ways touched King Frost , and he had pity on her , and he wrapped her up in furs , and covered her with blankets , and he fetched a great box , in which were beautiful jewels and a rich robe embroidered in gold and silver . And she put it on , and looked more lovely than ever , and King Frost stepped with her into his sledge , with six white horses . In the meantime the wicked step-mother was waiting at home for news of the girl 's death , and preparing pancakes for the funeral feast . And she said to her husband : ` Old man , you had better go out into the fields and find your daughter 's body and bury her . ' Just as the old man was leaving the house the little dog under the table began to bark , saying : ` YOUR daughter shall live to be your delight ; HER daughter shall die this very night . ' ` Hold your tongue , you foolish beast ! ' scolded the woman . ` There 's a pancake for you , but you must say : `` HER daughter shall have much silver and gold ; HIS daughter is frozen quite stiff and cold . '' ' But the doggie ate up the pancake and barked , saying : ` His daughter shall wear a crown on her head ; Her daughter shall die unwooed , unwed . ' Then the old woman tried to coax the doggie with more pancakes and to terrify it with blows , but he barked on , always repeating the same words . And suddenly the door creaked and flew open , and a great heavy chest was pushed in , and behind it came the step-daughter , radiant and beautiful , in a dress all glittering with silver and gold . For a moment the step-mother 's eyes were dazzled . Then she called to her husband : ` Old man , yoke the horses at once into the sledge , and take my daughter to the same field and leave her on the same spot exactly ; ` and so the old man took the girl and left her beneath the same tree where he had parted from his daughter . In a few minutes King Frost came past , and , looking at the girl , he said : ` Are you warm , maiden ? ' ` What a blind old fool you must be to ask such a question ! ' she answered angrily . ` Ca n't you see that my hands and feet are nearly frozen ? ' Then King Frost sprang to and fro in front of her , questioning her , and getting only rude , rough words in reply , till at last he got very angry , and cracked his fingers , and gnashed his teeth , and froze her to death .
But in the hut her mother was waiting for her return , and as she grew impatient she said to her husband : ` Get out the horses , old man , to go and fetch her home ; but see XXXXX you are careful not to upset the sledge and lose the chest . '
