I will lie here and rest under this tree , ' he said to his attendants . ` You can go and shoot instead , and I will just have this slave to stay with me ! ' Away they went , and the young man fell asleep , and slept long . Suddenly he was awakened by something wet and salt falling on his face . ` What is that ? Is it raining ? ' he said to his slave . ` Go and look . ' ` No , master , it is not raining , ' answered the slave . ` Then climb up the tree and see what it is , ' and the slave climbed up , and came back and told his master that a beautiful girl was sitting up there , and that it must have been her tears which had fallen on the face of the king 's son . ` Why was she crying ? ' inquired the prince . ' I can not tell -- I did not dare to ask her ; but perhaps she would tell you . ' And the master , greatly wondering , climbed up the tree . ` What is the matter with you ? ' said he gently , and , as she only sobbed louder , he continued : ` Are you a woman , or a spirit of the woods ? ' ' I am a woman , ' she answered slowly , wiping her eyes with a leaf of the creeper that hung about her . ` Then why do you cry ? ' he persisted . ' I have many things to cry for , ' she replied , ` more than you could ever guess . '
` Come home XXXXX me , ' said the prince ; ` it is not very far .
