` Well , well , ' said the man , ` then you shall have the loan of a pair of snow shoes of mine . If you wear them you will get to my brother , who lives hundreds of miles from here . He is Lord of all the fish in the sea -- you can ask him . But do not forget to turn the shoes round . ' The King thanked him , put on the shoes , and when he had got to him who was Lord of all the fish in the sea , he turned the snow shoes round , and back they went just as the others had gone , and he asked once more where Whiteland was . The man called the fish together with his horn , but none of them knew anything about it . At last came an old , old pike , which he had great difficulty in bringing home to him . When he asked the pike , it said , ` Yes , Whiteland is well known to me , for I have been cook there these ten years . To-morrow morning I have to go back there , for now the Queen , whose King is staying away , is to marry some one else . ' ` If that be the case I will give you a piece of advice , ' said the man . ` Not far from here on a moor stand three brothers , who have stood there a hundred years fighting for a hat , a cloak , and a pair of boots ; if any one has these three things he can make himself invisible , and if he desires to go to any place , he has but to wish and he is there . You may tell them that you have a desire to try these things , and then you will be able to decide which of the men is to have them . ' So the King thanked him and went , and did what he had said . ` What is this that you are standing fighting about for ever and ever ? ' said he to the brothers ; ` let me make a trial of these things , and then I will judge between you . ' They willingly consented to this , but when he had got the hat , the cloak , and the boots , he said , ` Next time we meet you shall have my decision , ' and hereupon he wished himself away . While he was going quickly through the air he fell in with the North Wind . ` And where may you be going ? ' said the North Wind . ` To Whiteland , ' said the King , and then he related what had happened to him .
` Well , ' said the North Wind , ` you can easily go a little quicker than I can , for I have to puff and blow into every corner ; but when you get there , place yourself on the stairs by the side XXXXX the door , and then I will come blustering in as if I wanted to blow down the whole castle , and when the Prince who is to have your Queen comes out to see what is astir , just take him by the throat and fling him out , and then I will try to carry him away from court .
