Again there arose a storm-cloud , with whirlwind and lightning . ` Let us return home , sister ! ' said he . They returned home , but they had n't had time to sit down when the thunder crashed , the ceiling split open , and in flew a raven . The Raven smote upon the floor and became a brave youth . The former youths had been handsome , but this one was handsomer still . ` Well , Prince Ivan !
