` Oh , do ask Lucky Luck , ' cried the brook , ` why , though I am such a clear , bright , rapid stream I never have a fish or any other living creature in my waters . ' The prince said he would do so , and continued his journey . When he got quite clear of the forest he walked on through a lovely valley till he reached a little house thatched with rushes , and he went in to rest for he was very tired . Everything in the house was beautifully clean and tidy , and a cheerful honest-looking old woman was sitting by the fire . ` Good-morning , mother , ' said the prince . ` May Luck be with you , my son . What brings you into these parts ? ' ' I am looking for Lucky Luck , ' replied the prince . ` Then you have come to the right place , my son , for I am his mother . He is not at home just now , he is out digging in the vineyard . Do you go too . Here are two spades . When you find him begin to dig , but do n't speak a word to him . It is now eleven o'clock . When he sits down to eat his dinner sit beside him and eat with him . After dinner he will question you , and then tell him all your troubles freely . He will answer whatever you may ask . ' With that she showed him the way , and the prince went and did just as she had told him . After dinner they lay down to rest . All of a sudden Lucky Luck began to speak and said : ` Tell me , what sort of man are you , for since you came here you have not spoken a word ? ' '
I am not dumb , ' replied the young man , ` but I am that unhappy prince whose faithful servant has been turned to stone , and I want to know how XXXXX help him . '
