He went to Prince Ring and said : ` Do come with me and see the strange things that are happening in the new princess 's room . ' The prince was not a little surprised , but he consented to hide himself with Asmund behind the panelling of the room , from where they could see all that went on through a little slit . The witch was raving and roaring as usual , and said to her brother : ` Once I am married to the king 's son I shall be better off than now . I shall take care to have all that pack of courtiers put to death , and then I shall send for all my relations to come and live here instead . I fancy the giants will enjoy themselves very much with me and my husband . ' When Prince Ring heard this he fell into such a rage that he ordered the house to be set on fire , and it was burnt to the ground , with the witch and her brother in it . Asmund then told the prince about the two oak trees and took him to see them . The prince was quite astonished at them and at all their contents , but still more so at the extreme beauty of Signy . He fell in love with her at once , and entreated her to marry him , which , after a time , she consented to do . Asmund , on his side , asked for the hand of Prince Ring 's sister , which was gladly granted him , and the double wedding was celebrated with great rejoicings . After this Prince Asmund and his bride returned to his country to live with the king his father . The two couples often met , and lived happily for many , many years . And that is the end of the story . -LSB- From Islandische Mahrchen . -RSB- Rubezahl Over all the vast under-world the mountain Gnome Rubezahl was lord ; and busy enough the care of his dominions kept him . There were the endless treasure chambers to be gone through , and the hosts of gnomes to be kept to their tasks . Some built strong barriers to hold back the fiery vapours to change dull stones to precious metal , or were hard at work filling every cranny of the rocks with diamonds and rubies ; for Rubezahl loved all pretty things . Sometimes the fancy would take him to leave those gloomy regions , and come out upon the green earth for a while , and bask in the sunshine and hear the birds sing . And as gnomes live many hundreds of years he saw strange things . For , the first time he came up , the great hills were covered with thick forests , in which wild animals roamed , and Rubezahl watched the fierce fights between bear and bison , or chased the grey wolves , or amused himself by rolling great rocks down into the desolate valleys , to hear the thunder of their fall echoing among the hills .
But the next time he ventured above ground , what was his surprise XXXXX find everything changed !
