` Yes , ' said the prince , ` the big black cloud is there again . ' ` Then throw the glass of water over your head , ' said she . When he had done this there was a great lake behind them , and this the witch could not cross until she ran home again and brought her dough-trough . Meanwhile the fugitives had reached the castle which was the prince 's home . They climbed over the garden wall , ran across the garden , and crept in at an open window . By this time the witch was just at their heels , but the princess stood in the window and blew upon the witch ; hundreds of white doves flew out of her mouth , fluttered and flapped around the witch 's head until she grew so angry that she turned into flint , and there she stands to this day , in the shape of a large flint stone , outside the window . Within the castle there was great rejoicing over the prince and his bride . His two elder brothers came and knelt before him and confessed what they had done , and said that he alone should inherit the kingdom , and they would always be his faithful subjects . The Troll 's Daughter From the Danish . There was once a lad who went to look for a place . As he went along he met a man , who asked him where he was going . He told him his errand , and the stranger said , ` Then you can serve me ; I am just in want of a lad like you , and I will give you good wages -- a bushel of money the first year , two the second year , and three the third year , for you must serve me three years , and obey me in everything , however strange it seems to you . You need not be afraid of taking service with me , for there is no danger in it if you only know how to obey . ' The bargain was made , and the lad went home with the man to whom he had engaged himself . It was a strange place indeed , for he lived in a bank in the middle of the wild forest , and the lad saw there no other person than his master . The latter was a great troll , and had marvellous power over both men and beasts . Next day the lad had to begin his service . The first thing that the troll set him to was to feed all the wild animals from the forest . These the troll had tied up , and there were both wolves and bears , deer and hares , which the troll had gathered in the stalls and folds in his stable down beneath the ground , and that stable was a mile long . The boy , however , accomplished all this work on that day , and the troll praised him and said that it was very well done .
Next morning the troll said XXXXX him , ` To-day the animals are not to be fed ; they do n't get the like of that every day .
