Then she tied a ring in his hair , which had her name upon it , and wished herself at home again . And now the young King was deeply afflicted , and day out and day in went about thinking of naught else but how to get back again to his Queen . ' I will try to see if there is any place where I can learn how to find Whiteland , ' he thought , and journeyed forth out into the world . When he had gone some distance he came to a mountain , where he met a man who was Lord over all the beasts in the forest -- for they all came to him when he blew a horn which he had .
