By that time the feast will be ready . ' Helga had so much to think about , that the ride home appeared very short . Her father and mother were delighted to see her , as they did not feel sure that so ugly and cross-looking a man as Habogi might not have played her some cruel trick . And after they had given her some supper they begged her to tell them all she had done . But Helga only told them that they should see for themselves on the third day , when they would come to her wedding . It was very early in the morning when the party set out , and Helga 's two sisters grew green with envy as they passed the flocks of sheep , and cows , and horses , and heard that the best of each was given to Helga herself ; but when they caught sight of the poor little house which was to be her home their hearts grew light again . ' I should be ashamed of living in such a place , ' whispered each to the other ; and the eldest sister spoke of the carved stone over HER doorway , and the second boasted of the number of rooms SHE had . But the moment they went inside they were struck dumb with rage at the splendour of everything , and their faces grew white and cold with fury when they saw the dress which Habogi had prepared for his bride -- a dress that glittered like sunbeams dancing upon ice . ` She SHALL not look so much finer than us , ' they cried passionately to each other as soon as they were alone ; and when night came they stole out of their rooms , and taking out the wedding-dress , they laid it in the ash-pit , and heaped ashes upon it . But Habogi , who knew a little magic , and had guessed what they would do , changed the ashes into roses , and cast a spell over the sisters , so that they could not leave the spot for a whole day , and every one who passed by mocked at them . The next morning when they all awoke the ugly tumble-down house had disappeared , and in its place stood a splendid palace . The guests ' eyes sought in vain for the bridegroom , but could only see a handsome young man , with a coat of blue velvet and silver and a gold crown upon his head . ` Who is that ? ' they asked Helga . ` That is my Habogi , ' said she . -LSB- From Neuislandischem Volksmarcher . -RSB- How the Little Brother Set Free His Big Brothers In a small hut , right in the middle of the forest , lived a man , his wife , three sons and a daughter . For some reason , all the animals seemed to have left that part of the country , and food grew very scarce ; so , one morning , after a night of snow , when the tracks of beasts might be easily seen , the three boys started off to hunt . They kept together for some time , till they reached a place where the path they had been following split into two , and one of the brothers called his dog and went to the left , while the others took the trail to the right . These had not gone far when their dogs scented a bear , and drove him out from the thicket .
The bear ran across a clearing , and the elder brother managed to place an arrow right XXXXX his head .
