This seemed to the girls more and more wonderful , but tired and sleepy as they were , they thought no more about it , but crept into the little beds , drew the coverlets over their heads and were soon asleep . When they awoke the sun was high in the heavens , the wood was beautiful in the summer morning , and the birds were flying about in the branches and the tree tops . At first the girls were filled with wonder when they saw that they had slept in the wood among the raspberry bushes . They looked at each other , they looked at their beds , which were of the finest flax covered over with leaves and moss . At last Lisa said : ` Are you awake , Aina ? ' ` Yes , ' said Aina . ` But I am still dreaming , ' said Lisa . ` No , ' said Aina , ` but there is certainly some good fairy living among these raspberry bushes . Ah , if we had only a hot cup of coffee now , and a nice piece of white bread to dip into it ! ' Scarcely had she finished speaking when she saw beside her a little silver tray with a gilt coffee-pot , two cups of rare porcelain , a sugar basin of fine crystal , silver sugar tongs , and some good fresh white bread . The girls poured out the beautiful coffee , put in the cream and sugar , and tasted it ; never in their lives had they drunk such beautiful coffee . ` Now I should like to know very much who has given us all this , ' said Lisa gratefully . ' I have , my little girls , ' said a voice just then from the bushes . The children looked round wonderingly , and saw a little kind-looking old man , in a white coat and a red cap , limping out from among the bushes , for he was lame in his left foot ; neither Lisa nor Aina could utter a word , they were so filled with surprise . ` Do n't be afraid , little girls , ' he said smiling kindly at them ; he could not laugh properly because his mouth was crooked . ` Welcome to my kingdom ! Have you slept well and eaten well and drunk well ? ' he asked . ` Yes , indeed we have , ' said both the girls , ` but tell us ... ' and they wanted to ask who the old man was , but were afraid to . ' I will tell you who I am , ' said the old man ; ' I am the raspberry king , who reigns over all this kingdom of raspberry bushes , and I have lived here for more than a thousand years .
But the great spirit who rules XXXXX the woods , and the sea , and the sky , did not want me to become proud of my royal power and my long life .
