At night the two brothers went home as they had done the night before , and told how things had gone , and how everyone had ridden , but no one had been able to get up the hill . `` But last of all , '' they said , `` came one in silver armor , and he had a silver bridle on his horse , and a silver saddle , and oh , but he could ride ! He took his horse two-thirds of the way up the hill , but then he turned back . He was a fine fellow , '' said the brothers , `` and the Princess threw the second golden apple to him ! '' `` Oh , how I should have liked to see him too ! '' said Cinderlad . `` Oh , indeed ! He was a little brighter than the ashes that you sit grubbing among , you dirty black creature ! '' said the brothers . On the third day everything went just as on the former days . Cinderlad wanted to go with them to look at the riding , but the two brothers would not have him in their company , and when they got to the glass hill there was no one who could ride even so far as a yard up it , and everyone waited for the knight in silver armor , but he was neither to be seen nor heard of . At last , after a long time , came a knight riding upon a horse that was such a fine one , its equal had never yet been seen . The knight had golden armor , and the horse a golden saddle and bridle , and these were all so bright that they shone and dazzled everyone , even while the knight was still at a great distance . The other princes and knights were not able even to call to tell him how useless it was to try to ascend the hill , so amazed were they at sight of his magnificence . He rode straight away to the glass hill , and galloped up it as if it were no hill at all , so that the Princess had not even time to wish that he might get up the whole way . As soon as he had ridden to the top , he took the third golden apple from the lap of the Princess and then turned his horse about and rode down again , and vanished from their sight before anyone was able to say a word to him . When the two brothers came home again at night they had much to tell of how the riding had gone off that day , and at last they told about the knight in the golden armor too . `` He was a fine fellow , that was ! Such another splendid knight is not to be found on earth ! '' said the brothers .
`` Oh , how I should have liked XXXXX see him too ! ''
