So the mortar climbed up to the beam over the front door , and the egg lay quite still on the ground , while the wasp set down the water-bucket in a corner . Then the crab dug itself a deep hole in the ground , so that not even the tip of her claws might be seen . Soon after everything was ready the monkey jumped down from his tree , and creeping to the door began a long hypocritical speech , asking pardon for all he had done . He waited for an answer of some sort , but none came . He listened , but all was still ; then he peeped , and saw no one ; then he went in . He peered about for the crab , but in vain ; however , his eyes fell on the egg , which he snatched up and set on the fire . But in a moment the egg had burst into a thousand pieces , and its sharp shell struck him in the face and scratched him horribly . Smarting with pain he ran to the bucket and stooped down to throw some water over his head . As he stretched out his hand up started the wasp and stung him on the nose . The monkey shrieked and ran to the door , but as he passed through down fell the mortar and struck him dead . ` After that the crab lived happily for many years , and at length died in peace under her own kaki tree . -LSB- From Japanische Mahrchen . -RSB- The Horse Gullfaxi And The Sword Gunnfoder Many many years ago there lived a king and queen who had one only son , called Sigurd . When the little boy was only ten years old the queen , his mother , fell ill and died , and the king , who loved her dearly , built a splendid monument to his wife 's memory , and day after day he sat by it and bewailed his sad loss . One morning , as he sat by the grave , he noticed a richly dressed lady close to him . He asked her name and she answered that it was Ingiborg , and seemed surprised to see the king there all alone . Then he told her how he had lost his queen , and how he came daily to weep at her grave . In return , the lady informed him that she had lately lost her husband , and suggested that they might both find it a comfort if they made friends . This pleased the king so much that he invited her to his palace , where they saw each other often ; and after a time he married her . After the wedding was over he soon regained his good spirits , and used to ride out hunting as in old days ; but Sigurd , who was very fond of his stepmother , always stayed at home with her .
One evening Ingiborg said to Sigurd : ` To-morrow your father is going out hunting , and you must go XXXXX him . '
