After he had rustled the leaves only once all fatigue disappeared , and he strode over the grass till he came to another little turf hut . ` Let me in , I pray you , dear mother , ' cried he . And the door opened in front of him . ` Your sister has sent you this letter , ' he said , and added quickly : ' O mother ! can you tell me anything of the Sister of the Sun ? ' ` No , I know nothing of her , ' answered she . But as he turned hopelessly away , she stopped him . ` If you happen to pass my eldest sister 's house , will you give her this letter ? ' said she . ` And if you should get tired on the road , just take it out of your pocket and rustle the paper . ' So the young man put the letter in his pocket , and walked all day over the hills till he reached a little turf hut , exactly like the other two . ` Let me in , I pray you , dear mother , ' cried he . And as he entered he added : ` Here is a letter from your sister and -- can you tell me anything of the Sister of the Sun ? ' ` Yes , I can , ' answered the old woman . ` She lives in the castle on the Banka . Her father lost a battle only a few days ago because you had stolen his sword from him , and the Sister of the Sun herself is almost dead of grief . But , when you see her , stick a pin into the palm of her hand , and suck the drops of blood that flow . Then she will grow calmer , and will know you again . Only , beware ; for before you reach the castle on the Banka fearful things will happen . ' He thanked the old woman with tears of gladness for the good news she had given him , and continued his journey .
