He too was standing there hanging his head , and looking so downcast that she fell a-weeping over him . ` What are you weeping for ? ' said the Bull . So she told him that the King had come home again , and that the Queen had pretended to be ill , and that she had made the doctor say that she could never be well again unless some of the flesh of the Blue Bull was given her to eat , and that now he was to be killed . ` When once they have taken my life they will soon kill you also , ' said the Bull . ` If you are of the same mind with me , we will take our departure this very night . ' The King 's daughter thought that it was bad to go and leave her father , but that it was worse still to be in the same house with the Queen , so she promised the Bull that she would come . At night , when all the others had gone to bed , the King 's daughter stole softly down to the byre to the Bull , and he took her on his back and got out of the courtyard as quickly as he could . So at cock-crow next morning , when the people came to kill the Bull , he was gone , and when the King got up and asked for his daughter she was gone too . He sent forth messengers to all parts of the kingdom to search for them , and published his loss in all the parish churches , but there was no one who had seen anything of them . In the meantime the Bull travelled through many lands with the King 's daughter on his back , and one day they came to a great copper-wood , where the trees , and the branches , and the leaves , and the flowers , and everything else was of copper . But before they entered the wood the Bull said to the King 's daughter : ` When we enter into this wood , you must take the greatest care not to touch a leaf of it , or all will be over both with me and with you , for a Troll with three heads , who is the owner of the wood , lives here . ' So she said she would be on her guard , and not touch anything . And she was very careful , and bent herself out of the way of the branches , and put them aside with her hands ; but it was so thickly wooded that it was all but impossible to get forward , and do what she might , she somehow or other tore off a leaf which got into her hand . ` Oh ! oh ! What have you done now ? ' said the Bull . ` It will now cost us a battle for life or death ; but do be careful to keep the leaf . ' Very soon afterwards they came to the end of the wood , and the Troll with three heads came rushing up to them .
` Who is XXXXX who is touching my wood ? '
