They lifted her down , took her in , and sent the bull to the field for the night . In the morning they took her into a room , the finest of a ' , and gied her a plum , telling her no to break it till she was in the greatest strait mortal could be in , and that wad get her out o ` t. Presently they brought hame the bull , set the lady on his back , and awa ' they went . And aye they gaed , and on they rade , till they came to a dark and ugsome glen , where they stopped , and the lady lighted down . Says the bull to her : `` Here ye maun stay till I gang and fight the deil . Ye maun seat yoursel ' on that stane , and move neither hand nor fit till I come back , else I 'll never find ye again . And if everything round about ye turns blue I hae beated the deil ; but should a ' things turn red he 'll hae conquered me . '' She set hersel ' down on the stane , and by-and-by a ' round her turned blue . O'ercome wi ' joy , she lifted the ae fit and crossed it owre the ither , sae glad was she that her companion was victorious . The bull returned and sought for but never could find her . Lang she sat , and aye she grat , till she wearied . At last she rase and gaed awa ' , she kedna whaur till . On she wandered till she came to a great hill o ' glass , that she tried a ' she could to climb , bat wasna able . Round the bottom o ' the hill she gaed , sabbing and seeking a passage owre , till at last she came to a smith 's house ; and the smith promised , if she wad serve him seven years , he wad make her iron shoon , wherewi ' she could climb owre the glassy hill . At seven years ' end she got her iron shoon , clamb the glassy hill , and chanced to come to the auld washerwife 's habitation . There she was telled of a gallant young knight that had given in some bluidy sarks to wash , and whaever washed thae sarks was to be his wife . The auld wife had washed till she was tired , and then she set to her dochter , and baith washed , and they washed , and they better washed , in hopes of getting the young knight ; but a ' they could do they couldna bring out a stain . At length they set the stranger damosel to wark ; and whenever she began the stains came out pure and clean , but the auld wife made the knight believe it was her dochter had washed the sarks . So the knight and the eldest dochter were to be married , and the stranger damosel was distracted at the thought of it , for she was deeply in love wi ' him . So she bethought her of her apple , and breaking it , found it filled with gold and precious jewelry , the richest she had ever seen . `` All these , '' she said to the eldest dochter , `` I will give you , on condition that you put off your marriage for ae day , and allow me to go into his room alone at night . ''
So the lady consented ; but meanwhile the auld wife had prepared a sleeping-drink , and given it to the knight , wha drank it , and never wakened XXXXX next morning .
