The witch interfered , of course , but the Prince said : ` Take it , and carry it about in the open air ; the boy is quieter at night , to be sure , when he has been in the wood all day . ' So the widow took the child in her arms , and carried it to the marsh in the forest . There she sang as on the preceding day -- ` Little Bright-eyes , little Redskin , Come nurse the child you bore ! That bloodthirsty monster , That man-eater grim , Shall nurse him , shall tend him no more . They may threaten and force as they will , He turns from her , shrinks from her still , ' and immediately the reindeer left the herd and came to the child , and tended it as on the day before . And so it was that the child throve , till not a finer boy was to be seen anywhere . But the King 's son had been pondering over all these things , and he said to the widow woman : ` Is there no way of changing the reindeer into a human being again ? ' ' I do n't rightly know , ' was her answer . ` Come to the wood with me , however ; when the woman puts off her reindeer skin I shall comb her head for her ; whilst I am doing so you must burn the skin . ' Thereupon they both went to the wood with the child ; scarcely were they there when the reindeer appeared and nursed the child as before . Then the widow woman said to the reindeer : ` Since you are going far away to-morrow , and I shall not see you again , let me comb your head for the last time , as a remembrance of you . ' Good ; the young woman stript off the reindeer skin , and let the widow woman do as she wished . In the meantime the King 's son threw the reindeer skin into the fire unobserved . ` What smells of singeing here ? ' asked the young woman , and looking round she saw her own husband . ` Woe is me ! you have burnt my skin . Why did you do that ? ' ` To give you back your human form again . ' ` Alack-a-day !
I have nothing XXXXX cover me now , poor creature that I am ! '
