I might heap up sand and stones , and make our island as big again . ' Maie loaded her boat with stones and went out to sea . The fiddler was with her , and fiddled so finely that Ahti and Wellamos and all the sea 's daughters rose to the surface of the water to listen to the music . ` What is that shining so brightly in the waves ? ' asked Maie . ` That is sea foam glinting in the sunshine , ' answered the fiddler . ` Throw out the stones , ' said Maie . The people in the boat began to throw out the stones , splash , splash , right and left , into the foam . One stone hit the nose of Wellamos 's chief lady-in-waiting , another scratched the sea queen herself on the cheek , a third plumped close to Ahti 's head and tore off half of the sea-king 's beard ; then there was a commotion in the sea , the waves bubbled and bubbled like boiling water in a pot . ` Whence comes this gust of wind ? ' said Maie ; and as she spoke the sea opened and swallowed up the steamer . Maie sank to the bottom like a stone , but , stretching out her arms and legs , she rose to the surface , where she found the fiddler 's fiddle , and used it as a float . At the same moment she saw close beside her the terrible head of Ahti , and he had only half a beard ! ' ` Why did you throw stones at me ? ' roared the sea-king . ` Oh , your majesty , it was a mistake ! Put some bear 's grease on your beard and that will soon make it grow again . ' ` Dame , did I not give you all you asked for -- nay , even more ? ' ` Truly , truly , your majesty . Many thanks for the cows . '
