My dog you must kill , but spare my son , Andras . ' Then he died ; and Andras sailed in his boat away across the fiord and found the dog and boy . The dog , a fierce , wicked-looking creature , he slew with one blow from his fist , for it is well known that if a Stalo 's dog licks the blood that flows from his dead master 's wounds the Stalo comes to life again . That is why no REAL Stalo is ever seen without his dog ; but the bailiff , being only half a Stalo , had forgotten him , when he went to the little lakes in search of Andras . Next , Andras put all the gold and jewels which he found in the boat into his pockets , and bidding the boy get in , pushed it off from the shore , leaving the little craft to drift as it would , while he himself ran home . With the treasure he possessed he was able to buy a great herd of reindeer ; and he soon married a rich wife , whose parents would not have him as a son-in-law when he was poor , and the two lived happy for ever after . The White Slipper -LSB- From Lapplandische Mahrchen , J. C. Poestion . -RSB- Once upon a time there lived a king who had a daughter just fifteen years old . And what a daughter ! Even the mothers who had daughters of their own could not help allowing that the princess was much more beautiful and graceful than any of them ; and , as for the fathers , if one of them ever beheld her by accident he could talk of nothing else for a whole day afterwards . Of course the king , whose name was Balancin , was the complete slave of his little girl from the moment he lifted her from the arms of her dead mother ; indeed , he did not seem to know that there was anyone else in the world to love . Now Diamantina , for that was her name , did not reach her fifteenth birthday without proposals for marriage from every country under heaven ; but be the suitor who he might , the king always said him nay . Behind the palace a large garden stretched away to the foot of some hills , and more than one river flowed through . Hither the princess would come each evening towards sunset , attended by her ladies , and gather herself the flowers that were to adorn her rooms . She also brought with her a pair of scissors to cut off the dead blooms , and a basket to put them in , so that when the sun rose next morning he might see nothing unsightly . When she had finished this task she would take a walk through the town , so that the poor people might have a chance of speaking with her , and telling her of their troubles ; and then she would seek out her father , and together they would consult over the best means of giving help to those who needed it . But what has all this to do with the White Slipper ? my readers will ask . Have patience , and you will see . Next to his daughter , Balancin loved hunting , and it was his custom to spend several mornings every week chasing the boars which abounded in the mountains a few miles from the city .
One day , rushing downhill as fast as he could go , he put his foot XXXXX a hole and fell , rolling into a rocky pit of brambles .
