She did sae ; and when she came back said she saw nocht . The second day she did the same , and saw nocht . The third day she looked again , and on coming back said to the auld wife she saw nocht but a muckle Black Bull coming roaring alang the road . `` Aweel , '' quo ' the auld wife , `` yon 's for you . '' On hearing this she was next to distracted wi ' grief and terror ; but she was lifted up and set on his back , and awa ' they went . Aye they traveled , and on they traveled , till the lady grew faint wi ' hunger . `` Eat out o ' my right lug , '' says the Black Bull , `` and drink out o ' my left lug , and set by your leavings . '' Sae she did as he said , and was wonderfully refreshed . And lang they gaed , and sair they rade , till they came in sight o ' a very big and bonny castle . `` Yonder we maun be this night , '' quo ' the bull ; `` for my auld brither lives yonder '' ; and presently they were at the place . They lifted her aff his back , and took her in , and sent him away to a park for the night . In the morning , when they brought the bull hame , they took the lady into a fine shining parlor , and gave her a beautiful apple , telling her no to break it till she was in the greatest strait ever mortal was in in the world , and that wad bring her o ` t. Again she was lifted on the bull 's back , and after she had ridden far , and farer than I can tell , they came in sight o ' a far bonnier castle , and far farther awa ' than the last . Says the bull till her : `` Yonder we maun be the night , for my second brither lives yonder '' ; and they were at the place directly . They lifted her down and took her in , and sent the bull to the field for the night . In the morning they took the lady into a fine and rich room , and gave her the finest pear she had ever seen , bidding her no to break it till she was in the greatest strait ever mortal could be in , and that wad get her out o ` t. Again she was lifted and set on his back , and awa ' they went . And lang they gaed , and sair they rade , till they came in sight o ' the far biggest castle , and far farthest aff , they had yet seen . `` We maun be yonder the night , '' says the bull , `` for my young brither lives yonder '' ; and they were there directly . They lifted her down , took her in , and sent the bull to the field for the night . In the morning they took her into a room , the finest of a ' , and gied her a plum , telling her no to break it till she was in the greatest strait mortal could be in , and that wad get her out o ` t. Presently they brought hame the bull , set the lady on his back , and awa ' they went . And aye they gaed , and on they rade , till they came to a dark and ugsome glen , where they stopped , and the lady lighted down .
Says the bull to her : `` Here ye maun stay XXXXX I gang and fight the deil .
