Do you know anything about them ? ' ' I do n't know anything myself , but wait till to-morrow . Perhaps I can tell you then . ' So the next morning she blew on her pipe , and lo ! and behold every magpie in the world flew up . That is to say , all the magpies except one who had broken a leg and a wing . The old woman sent after it at once , and when she questioned the magpies the crippled one was the only one who knew where the three bulrushes were . Then the prince started off with the lame magpie . They went on and on till they reached a great stone wall , many , many feet high . ` Now , prince , ' said the magpie , ` the three bulrushes are behind that wall . ' The prince wasted no time . He set his horse at the wall and leaped over it . Then he looked about for the three bulrushes , pulled them up and set off with them on his way home . As he rode along one of the bulrushes happened to knock against something . It split open and , only think ! out sprang a lovely girl , who said : ` My heart 's love , you are mine and I am yours ; do give me a glass of water . ' But how could the prince give it her when there was no water at hand ? So the lovely maiden flew away . He split the second bulrush as an experiment and just the same thing happened . How careful he was of the third bulrush !
He waited till he came to a well , and there he split it open , and out sprang a maiden seven times lovelier than either of the others , and she too said : ` My heart 's love , I am yours and you are mine ; do give me a glass XXXXX water . '
