The words were hardly out of his mouth when the stream swelled and overflowed till it reached the rock up which he had climbed , and dashed so far up it that the spray flew over him . But he clung on tight , and after failing to reach him three times the stream returned to its proper course . Then the prince climbed down , dried himself in the sun , and set out on his march home . He spent the night once more at the mill and gave the miller his answer , and by-and-by he told the three sisters not to throw out all their sweepings in the face of the sun . The prince had hardly arrived at home when some thieves tried to ford the stream with a fine horse they had stolen . When they were half-way across , the stream rose so suddenly that it swept them all away . From that time it became the best fishing stream in the country-side . The miller , too , began to give alms and became a very good man , and in time grew so rich that he hardly knew how much he had . And the three sisters , now that they no longer insulted the sun , had each a wooer within a week . When the prince got home he found that his wife had just got a fine little boy .

The king was extremely angry at this , and sent out soldiers to catch whoever had set fire to the ricks ; but it was all of no use -- not a soul could they see . Then he offered nine hundred crowns to anyone who caught the evil-doer , and at the same time ordered that whoever did not keep proper watch over the fields should be killed ; but though there were a great many people , none seemed able to protect the fields . The king had already put ninety-nine people to death , when a little swineherd came to him who had two dogs ; one was called ` Psst , ' and the other ` Hush ' ; and the boy told the king that he would watch over the ricks . When it grew dark he climbed up on the top of the fourth rick , from where he could see the whole field . About eleven o'clock he thought he saw someone going to a rick and putting a light to it .
` Just you wait , ' thought he , and called out XXXXX his dogs : ` Hi !
