It is she I am seeking . ' ` Why should I laugh ? ' asked the old man . ` Madness in youth is true wisdom . Go , young man , follow your dream , and if you do not find the happiness that you seek , at any rate you will have had the happiness of seeking it . ' IV The next day the Prince arose early and took leave of his host . ` The wood that you saw in your dream is not far from here , ' said the old man . ` It is in the depth of the forest , and this road will lead you there . You will come to a vast park surrounded by high walls . In the middle of the park is a castle , where dwells a horrible witch who allows no living being to enter the doors . Behind the castle is the orange grove . Follow the wall till you come to a heavy iron gate . Do n't try to press it open , but oil the hinges with this , ' and the old man gave him a small bottle . ` The gate will open of itself , ' he continued , ` and a huge dog which guards the castle will come to you with his mouth wide open , but just throw him this oat cake . Next , you will see a baking woman leaning over her heated oven . Give her this brush . Lastly , you will find a well on your left ; do not forget to take the cord of the bucket and spread it in the sun . When you have done this , do not enter the castle , but go round it and enter the orange grove . Then gather three oranges , and get back to the gate as fast as you can . Once out of the gate , leave the forest by the opposite side .
` Now , attend to this : whatever happens , do not open your oranges XXXXX you reach the bank of a river , or a fountain .
