No sooner did it hear the sounds of hunting in the forest than it cried : ' I ca n't stand this , I must be there too ; I 'll take care they sha n't catch me . ' Sister began to cry , and said , ` They are certain to kill you , and then I shall be left all alone in the forest and forsaken by everyone . I ca n't and wo n't let you out . ' ` Then I shall die of grief , ' replied the Roe , ` for when I hear that horn I feel as if I must jump right out of my skin . ' So at last , when sister found there was nothing else to be done , she opened the door with a heavy heart , and the Roe darted forth full of glee and health into the forest . As soon as the King saw the Roe , he said to his huntsman , ` Now then , give chase to it all day till evening , but mind and be careful not to hurt it . ' When the sun had set the King said to his huntsman , ` Now come and show me the little house in the wood . ' And when he got to the house he knocked at the door and said , ` My sister dear , open ; I 'm here . ' Then the door opened and the King walked in , and there stood the loveliest maiden he had ever seen . The girl was much startled when instead of the little Roe she expected she saw a man with a gold crown on his head walk in . But the King looked kindly at her , held out his hand , and said , ` Will you come with me to my castle and be my dear wife ? ' ` Oh yes ! ' replied the maiden , ` but you must let my Roe come too . I could not possibly forsake it . ' ` It shall stay with you as long as you live , and shall want for nothing , ' the King promised . In the meantime the Roe came bounding in , and sister tied the rush cord once more to its collar , took the end in her hand , and so they left the little house in the forest together . The King lifted the lonely maiden on to his horse , and led her to his castle , where the wedding was celebrated with the greatest splendour . The Roe was petted and caressed , and ran about at will in the palace gardens . Now all this time the wicked stepmother , who had been the cause of these poor children 's misfortunes and trying adventures , was feeling fully persuaded that sister had been torn to pieces by wild beasts , and brother shot to death in the shape of a Roe . When she heard how happy and prosperous they were , her heart was filled with envy and hatred , and she could think of nothing but how to bring some fresh misfortune on them .
Her own daughter , who was as hideous as night and had only one eye , reproached her by saying , ` It is I who ought XXXXX have had this good luck and been Queen . '
