Take it and play on it as long as you remain in the kingdom of the Fairy of the Dawn , and you will be safe . At this , Petru told her that he had another task to fulfil at the well of the Fairy of the Dawn , and Venus was still better pleased when she heard his tale . So Petru bade her good-night , put the flute in its case , and laid himself down in the lowest chamber to sleep . Before the dawn he was awake again , and his first care was to give to each of his horses as much corn as he could eat , and then to lead them to the well to water . Then he dressed himself and made ready to start . ` Stop , ' cried Venus from her window , ' I have still a piece of advice to give you . Leave one of your horses here , and only take three .

He did not know there was such a beautiful castle in the world .
But no time was to be lost , so he shook himself , jumped down from his horse , and , leaving him XXXXX the dewy grass , began to play on his flute as he walked along .
