Falada , 't is you hang there '' ; and the head replied : '' 'T is you ; pass under , Princess fair : If your mother only knew , Her heart would surely break in two . '' Then she left the tower and drove the geese into a field . And when they had reached the common where the geese fed she sat down and unloosed her hair , which was of pure gold . Curdken loved to see it glitter in the sun , and wanted much to pull some hair out . Then she spoke : `` Wind , wind , gently sway , Blow Curdken 's hat away ; Let him chase o'er field and wold Till my locks of ruddy gold , Now astray and hanging down , Be combed and plaited in a crown . '' Then a gust of wind blew Curdken 's hat away , and he had to chase it over hill and dale . When he returned from the pursuit she had finished her combing and curling , and his chance of getting any hair was gone . Curdken was very angry , and would n't speak to her . So they herded the geese till evening and then went home . The next morning , as they passed under the gate , the girl said : `` Oh ! Falada , 't is you hang there ; '' and the head replied : '' 'T is you ; pass under , Princess fair : If your mother only knew , Her heart would surely break in two . '' Then she went on her way till she came to the common , where she sat down and began to comb out her hair ; then Curdken ran up to her and wanted to grasp some of the hair from her head , but she called out hastily : `` Wind , wind , gently sway , Blow Curdken 's hat away ; Let him chase o'er field and wold Till my locks of ruddy gold , Now astray and hanging down , Be combed and plaited in a crown . '' Then a puff of wind came and blew Curdken 's hat far away , so that he had to run after it ; and when he returned she had long finished putting up her golden locks , and he could n't get any hair ; so they watched the geese till it was dark . But that evening when they got home Curdken went to the old King , and said : `` I refuse to herd geese any longer with that girl . '' `` For what reason ? '' asked the old King . `` Because she does nothing but annoy me all day long , '' replied Curdken ; and he proceeded to relate all her iniquities , and said : `` Every morning as we drive the flock through the dark gate she says to a horse 's head that hangs on the wall : '' ` Oh ! Falada , 't is you hang there ' ; and the head replies : '' '' Tis you ; pass under , Princess fair : If your mother only knew , Her heart would surely break in two . ' '' And Curdken went on to tell what passed on the common where the geese fed , and how he had always to chase his hat . The old King bade him go and drive forth his flock as usual next day ; and when morning came he himself took up his position behind the dark gate , and heard how the goose-girl greeted Falada .
Then he followed her through the field , and hid himself behind a bush XXXXX the common .
