So another ship was fitted out , and the young man sailed away , and was blown by the wind into the same harbour where his brother had landed . Now when he saw the first ship lying at anchor his heart beat high , and he said to himself , ` My brother can not surely be far off , ' and he ordered a boat and was put on shore . As he jumped on to the pier his eye caught the notice about the princess , and he thought , ` He has undertaken to find her , and has certainly lost his head . I must try myself , and seek him as well as her . It can not be such a very difficult matter . ' But he fared no better than his brother , and in eight days his head was cut off . So now there was only the youngest at home , and when the other two never came he also begged for a ship that he might go in search of his lost brothers . And when the vessel started a high wind arose , and blew him straight to the harbour where the notice was set . ` Oho ! ' said he , as he read , ` whoever can find the king 's daughter shall have her to wife . It is quite clear now what has befallen my brothers . But in spite of that I think I must try my luck , ' and he took the road to the castle . On the way he met an old woman , who stopped and begged . ` Leave me in peace , old woman , ' replied he . ` Oh , do not send me away empty , ' she said . ` You are such a handsome young man you will surely not refuse an old woman a few pence . ' ' I tell you , old woman , leave me alone . ' ` You are in some trouble ? ' she asked . ` Tell me what it is , and perhaps I can help you . '
Then he told her how he had set his heart XXXXX finding the king 's daughter . '
