When they had travelled for some time they had to cross the sea , and the brother sat down at the helm , and the mother and the two half-sisters went to the fore-part of the vessel , and they sailed a long , long way . At last they came in sight of land . ` Look at that white strand there ; that is where we shall land , ' said the brother , pointing across the sea . ` What is my brother saying ? ' inquired the man 's daughter . ` He says that you are to throw your casket out into the sea , ' answered the step-mother . ` Well , if my brother says so , I must do it , ' said the man 's daughter , and she flung her casket into the sea . When they had sailed for some time longer , the brother once more pointed over the sea . ` There you may see the palace to which we are bound , ' said he . ` What is my brother saying ? ' asked the man 's daughter . ` Now he says that you are to throw your dog into the sea , ' answered the step-mother . The man 's daughter wept , and was sorely troubled , for Little Snow was the dearest thing she had on earth , but at last she threw him overboard . ` If my brother says that , I must do it , but Heaven knows how unwilling I am to throw thee out , Little Snow ! ' said she . So they sailed onwards a long way farther . ` There may ` st thou see the King coming out to meet thee , ' said the brother , pointing to the sea-shore . ` What is my brother saying ? ' asked his sister again . ` Now he says that you are to make haste and throw yourself overboard , ' answered the step-mother .
She wept and she wailed , but as her brother had said XXXXX , she thought she must do it ; so she leaped into the sea .
