` But , ' said she , ` mind you come back in the evening . I shall lock my door fast for fear of those wild huntsmen ; so , to make sure of my knowing you , knock at the door and say , `` My sister dear , open ; I 'm here . '' If you do n't speak I sha n't open the door . ' So off sprang the little Roe , and he felt quite well and happy in the free open air . The King and his huntsmen soon saw the beautiful creature and started in pursuit , but they could not come up with it , and whenever they thought they were sure to catch it , it bounded off to one side into the bushes and disappeared . When night came on it ran home , and knocking at the door of the little house cried : ` My sister dear , open ; I 'm here . ' The door opened , and he ran in and rested all night on his soft mossy bed . Next morning the hunt began again , and as soon as the little Roe heard the horns and the ` Ho ! ho ! ` of the huntsmen , he could not rest another moment , and said : ` Sister , open the door , I must get out . ' So sister opened the door and said , ` Now mind and get back by nightfall , and say your little rhyme . ' As soon as the King and his huntsmen saw the Roe with the golden collar they all rode off after it , but it was far too quick and nimble for them . This went on all day , but as evening came on the huntsmen had gradually encircled the Roe , and one of them wounded it slightly in the foot , so that it limped and ran off slowly . Then the huntsman stole after it as far as the little house , and heard it call out , ` My sister dear , open ; I 'm here , ' and he saw the door open and close immediately the fawn had run in . The huntsman remembered all this carefully , and went off straight to the King and told him all he had seen and heard . ` To-morrow we will hunt again , ' said the King . Poor sister was terribly frightened when she saw how her little Fawn had been wounded . She washed off the blood , bound up the injured foot with herbs , and said : ` Now , dear , go and lie down and rest , so that your wound may heal . ' The wound was really so slight that it was quite well next day , and the little Roe did not feel it at all . No sooner did it hear the sounds of hunting in the forest than it cried : ' I ca n't stand this , I must be there too ; I 'll take care they sha n't catch me . '
Sister began to cry , and said , ` They are certain to kill you , and then I shall be left all alone XXXXX the forest and forsaken by everyone .
