This road is planted all the way with cedars of Lebanon ; and after going down it a long way you will come at last to a magnificent castle . And now , ' she went on , ` attend carefully to what I am going to say . Take this tiny grain of sand , and put it into the ground as close as you can to the gate of the castle . It has the virtue both of opening the gate and also of sending to sleep all the inhabitants . Then go at once to the stable , and pay no heed to anything except what I tell you . Choose the handsomest of all the horses , leap quickly on its back , and come to me as fast as you can . Farewell , Prince ; I wish you good luck , ' and with these words the Little Frog plunged into the water and disappeared . The Prince , who felt more hopeful than he had done since he left home , did precisely as he had been ordered . He left his attendants in the hamlet , found the road the frog had described to him , and followed it all alone , and at last he arrived at the gate of the castle , which was even more splendid than he had expected , for it was built of crystal , and all its ornaments were of massive gold . However , he had no thoughts to spare for its beauty , and quickly buried his grain of sand in the earth . In one instant the gates flew open , and all the dwellers inside fell sound asleep . Saphir flew straight to the stable , and already had his hand on the finest horse it contained , when his eye was caught by a suit of magnificent harness hanging up close by . It occurred to him directly that the harness belonged to the horse , and without ever thinking of harm -LRB- for indeed he who steals a horse can hardly be blamed for taking his saddle -RRB- , he hastily placed it on the animal 's back . Suddenly the people in the castle became broad awake , and rushed to the stable . They flung themselves on the Prince , seized him , and dragged him before their lord ; but , luckily for the Prince , who could only find very lame excuses for his conduct , the lord of the castle took a fancy to his face , and let him depart without further questions . Very sad , and very much ashamed of himself poor Saphir crept back to the fountain , where the Frog was awaiting him with a good scolding . ` Whom do you take me for ? ' she exclaimed angrily . ` Do you really believe that it was just for the pleasure of talking that I gave you the advice you have neglected so abominably ? ' But the Prince was so deeply grieved , and apologised so very humbly , that after some time the heart of the good little Frog was softened , and she gave him another tiny little grain , but instead of being sand it was now a grain of gold .
She directed him XXXXX do just as he had done before , with only this difference , that instead of going to the stable which had been the ruin of his hopes , he was to enter right into the castle itself , and to glide as fast as he could down the passages till he came to a room filled with perfume , where he would find a beautiful maiden asleep on a bed .
