So all went well and happily for a time , but then she began to be very sad and sorrowful , for all day long she had to go about alone ; and she did so wish to go home to her father and mother and brothers and sisters . Then the White Bear asked what it was that she wanted , and she told him that it was so dull there in the mountain , and that she had to go about all alone , and that in her parents ' house at home there were all her brothers and sisters , and it was because she could not go to them that she was so sorrowful . `` There might be a cure for that , '' said the White Bear , `` if you would but promise me never to talk with your mother alone , but only when the others are there too ; for she will take hold of your hand , '' he said , `` and will want to lead you into a room to talk with you alone ; but that you must by no means do , or you will bring great misery on both of us . '' So one Sunday the White Bear came and said that they could now set out to see her father and mother , and they journeyed thither , she sitting on his back , and they went a long , long way , and it took a long , long time ; but at last they came to a large white farmhouse , and her brothers and sisters were running about outside it , playing , and it was so pretty that it was a pleasure to look at it . `` Your parents dwell here now , '' said the White Bear ; `` but do not forget what I said to you , or you will do much harm both to yourself and me . '' `` No , indeed , '' said she , `` I shall never forget ; '' and as soon as she was at home the White Bear turned round and went back again . There were such rejoicings when she went in to her parents that it seemed as if they would never come to an end . Everyone thought that he could never be sufficiently grateful to her for all she had done for them all . Now they had everything that they wanted , and everything was as good as it could be . They all asked her how she was getting on where she was . All was well with her too , she said ; and she had everything that she could want . What other answers she gave I can not say , but I am pretty sure that they did not learn much from her . But in the afternoon , after they had dined at midday , all happened just as the White Bear had said . Her mother wanted to talk with her alone in her own chamber . But she remembered what the White Bear had said , and would on no account go . `` What we have to say can be said at any time , '' she answered . But somehow or other her mother at last persuaded her , and she was forced to tell the whole story . So she told how every night a man came and lay down beside her when the lights were all put out , and how she never saw him , because he always went away before it grew light in the morning , and how she continually went about in sadness , thinking how happy she would be if she could but see him , and how all day long she had to go about alone , and it was so dull and solitary . `` Oh ! '' cried the mother , in horror , `` you are very likely sleeping with a troll !
But I will teach you a way XXXXX see him .
