Once upon a time there lived a man with one daughter and he made her work hard all the day . One morning when she had finished everything he had set her to do , he told her to go out into the woods and get some dry leaves and sticks to kindle a fire . The girl went out , and soon collected a large bundle , and then she plucked at a sprig of sweet-smelling rosemary for herself . But the harder she pulled the firmer seemed the plant , and at last , determined not to be beaten , she gave one great tug , and the rosemary remained in her hands . Then she heard a voice close to her saying , ` Well ? ' and turning she saw before her a handsome young man , who asked why she had come to steal his firewood . The girl , who felt much confused , only managed to stammer out as an excuse that her father had sent her . ` Very well , ' replied the young man ; ` then come with me . ' So he took her through the opening made by the torn-up root , and they travelled till they reached a beautiful palace , splendidly furnished , but only lighted from the top . And when they had entered he told her that he was a great lord , and that never had he seen a maiden so beautiful as she , and that if she would give him her heart they would be married and live happy for ever after . And the maiden said ` yes , she would , ' and so they were married . The next day the old dame who looked after the house handed her all the keys , but pointed her out one that she would do well never to use , for if she did the whole palace would fall to the ground , and the grass would grow over it , and the damsel herself would be remembered no more . The bride promised to be careful , but in a little while , when there was nothing left for her to do , she began to wonder what could be in the chest , which was opened by the key . As everybody knows , if we once begin to think we soon begin to do , and it was not very long before the key was no longer in the maiden 's hand but in the lock of the chest . But the lock was stiff and resisted all her efforts , and in the end she had to break it . And what was inside after all ? Why , nothing but a serpent 's skin , which her husband , who was , unknown to her , a magician , put on when he was at work ; and at the sight of it the girl was turning away in disgust , when the earth shook violently under her feet , the palace vanished as if it had never been , and the bride found herself in the middle of a field , not knowing where she was or whither to go . She burst into a flood of bitter tears , partly at her own folly , but more for the loss of her husband , whom she dearly loved . Then , breaking a sprig of rosemary off a bush hard by , she resolved , cost what it might , to seek him through the world till she found him . So she walked and she walked and she walked , till she arrived at a house built of straw .
And she knocked XXXXX the door , and asked if they wanted a servant .
