said Little Klaus ; but still he laid a big stone in the sack , fastened it up tight , and then pushed it in . Plump ! there was Big Klaus in the water , and he sank like lead to the bottom . ' I doubt if he will find any cattle ! ' said Little Klaus as he drove his own home . PRINCE RING -LRB- 30 -RRB- -LRB- 30 -RRB- From the Icelandic . Once upon a time there was a King and his Queen in their kingdom . They had one daughter , who was called Ingiborg , and one son , whose name was Ring . He was less fond of adventures than men of rank usually were in those days , and was not famous for strength or feats of arms . When he was twelve years old , one fine winter day he rode into the forest along with his men to enjoy himself . They went on a long way , until they caught sight of a hind with a gold ring on its horns . The Prince was eager to catch it , if possible , so they gave chase and rode on without stopping until all the horses began to founder beneath them . At last the Prince 's horse gave way too , and then there came over them a darkness so black that they could no longer see the hind . By this time they were far away from any house , and thought it was high time to be making their way home again , but they found they had got lost now . At first they all kept together , but soon each began to think that he knew the right way best ; so they separated , and all went in different directions . The Prince , too , had got lost like the rest , and wandered on for a time until he came to a little clearing in the forest not far from the sea , where he saw a woman sitting on a chair and a big barrel standing beside her . The Prince went up to her and saluted her politely , and she received him very graciously . He looked down into the barrel then , and saw lying at the bottom an unusually beautiful gold ring , which pleased him so much that he could not take his eyes off it . The woman saw this , and said that he might have it if he would take the trouble to get it ; for which the Prince thanked her , and said it was at least worth trying . So he leaned over into the barrel , which did not seem very deep , and thought he would easily reach the ring ; but the more he stretched down after it the deeper grew the barrel .
As he was thus bending down into it the woman suddenly rose up and pushed him in head first , saying XXXXX now he could take up his quarters there .
