But , so that you may not freeze , here are my mother 's great fur gloves ; they will come up to your elbows . Creep into them ! ' And Gerda cried for joy . ` Do n't make such faces ! ' said the little robber-girl . ` You must look very happy . And here are two loaves and a sausage ; now you wo n't be hungry ! ' They were tied to the reindeer , the little robber-girl opened the door , made all the big dogs come away , cut through the halter with her sharp knife , and said to the reindeer , ` Run now ! But take great care of the little girl . ' And Gerda stretched out her hands with the large fur gloves towards the little robber-girl and said , ` Good-bye ! ' Then the reindeer flew over the ground , through the great forest , as fast as he could . The wolves howled , the ravens screamed , the sky seemed on fire . ` Those are my dear old northern lights , ' said the reindeer ; ` see how they shine ! ' And then he ran faster still , day and night . The loaves were eaten , and the sausage also , and then they came to Lapland . They stopped by a wretched little house ; the roof almost touched the ground , and the door was so low that you had to creep in and out . There was no one in the house except an old Lapland woman who was cooking fish over an oil-lamp . The reindeer told Gerda 's whole history , but first he told his own , for that seemed to him much more important , and Gerda was so cold that she could not speak . ` Ah , you poor creatures ! ' said the Lapland woman ; ` you have still further to go !
You must go XXXXX a hundred miles into Finland , for there the Snow-queen lives , and every night she burns Bengal lights .
