' I have other things to tell you . Take the silver wreath and knock at the windows of the goddess Venus . When she says , `` Who is there ? '' answer that you have come on foot and lost your way on the heath . She will then tell you to go your way back again ; but take care not to stir from the spot . Instead , be sure you say to her , `` No , indeed I shall do nothing of the sort , as from my childhood I have heard stories of the beauty of the goddess Venus , and it was not for nothing that I had shoes made of leather with soles of steel , and have travelled for nine years and nine months , and have won in battle the silver wreath , which I hope you may allow me to give you , and have done and suffered everything to be where I now am . '' This is what you must say . What happens after is your affair . ' Petru asked no more , but went towards the house .
