On my way here I lodged one night in the house of three maidens . All were well-mannered , hard-working , and pretty , and yet none has had a wooer . Why was this ? ' ` Because they always throw out their sweepings in the face of the sun . ' ` And why is it that a miller , who has a large mill with all the best machinery and gets plenty of corn to grind is so poor that he can hardly live from day to day ? ' ` Because the miller keeps everything for himself , and does not give to those who need it . ' The prince wrote down the answers to his questions , took a friendly leave of Lucky Luck , and set off for home . When he reached the stream it asked if he brought it any good news . ` When I get across I will tell you , ' said he . So the stream parted ; he walked through and on to the highest part of the bank . He stopped and shouted out : ` Listen , oh stream ! Lucky Luck says you will never have any living creature in your waters until someone is drowned in you . ' The words were hardly out of his mouth when the stream swelled and overflowed till it reached the rock up which he had climbed , and dashed so far up it that the spray flew over him . But he clung on tight , and after failing to reach him three times the stream returned to its proper course . Then the prince climbed down , dried himself in the sun , and set out on his march home . He spent the night once more at the mill and gave the miller his answer , and by-and-by he told the three sisters not to throw out all their sweepings in the face of the sun . The prince had hardly arrived at home when some thieves tried to ford the stream with a fine horse they had stolen . When they were half-way across , the stream rose so suddenly that it swept them all away . From that time it became the best fishing stream in the country-side . The miller , too , began to give alms and became a very good man , and in time grew so rich that he hardly knew how much he had .
And the three sisters , now XXXXX they no longer insulted the sun , had each a wooer within a week .
From at for if of on that to until with
