But the day after to-morrow you must come with me , and I will point out the work you have to do . The maid will show you where you are to sleep . ' The prince thought , from this , he had leave to speak , but his master turned on him with a face of thunder and exclaimed : ` You dog of a servant ! If you disobey the laws of the house you will soon find yourself a head shorter ! Hold your tongue , and leave me in peace . ' The girl made a sign to him to follow her , and , throwing open a door , nodded to him to go in . He would have lingered a moment , for he thought she looked sad , but dared not do so , for fear of the old man 's anger . ` It is impossible that she can be his daughter ! ' he said to himself , ` for she has a kind heart . I am quite sure she must be the same girl who was brought here instead of me , so I am bound to risk my head in this mad adventure . ' He got into bed , but it was long before he fell asleep , and even then his dreams gave him no rest . He seemed to be surrounded by dangers , and it was only the power of the maiden who helped him through it all . When he woke his first thoughts were for the girl , whom he found hard at work . He drew water from the well and carried it to the house for her , kindled the fire under the iron pot , and , in fact , did everything that came into his head that could be of any use to her . In the afternoon he went out , in order to learn something of his new home , and wondered greatly not to come across the old grandmother . In his rambles he came to the farmyard , where a beautiful white horse had a stall to itself ; in another was a black cow with two white-faced calves , while the clucking of geese , ducks , and hens reached him from a distance . Breakfast , dinner , and supper were as savoury as before , and the prince would have been quite content with his quarters had it not been for the difficulty of keeping silence in the presence of the maiden . On the evening of the second day he went , as he had been told , to receive his orders for the following morning . ' I am going to set you something very easy to do to-morrow , ' said the old man when his servant entered . ` Take this scythe and cut as much grass as the white horse will want for its day 's feed , and clean out its stall .
