So at cock-crow next morning , when the people came to kill the Bull , he was gone , and when the King got up and asked for his daughter she was gone too . He sent forth messengers to all parts of the kingdom to search for them , and published his loss in all the parish churches , but there was no one who had seen anything of them . In the meantime the Bull travelled through many lands with the King 's daughter on his back , and one day they came to a great copper-wood , where the trees , and the branches , and the leaves , and the flowers , and everything else was of copper . But before they entered the wood the Bull said to the King 's daughter : ` When we enter into this wood , you must take the greatest care not to touch a leaf of it , or all will be over both with me and with you , for a Troll with three heads , who is the owner of the wood , lives here .

So they had to wait a day , and the Bull told the King 's daughter to take the horn XXXXX ointment which hung at the Troll 's belt , and rub him with it ; then he was himself again , and the next day they set off once more .
