So she did her mother 's bidding , and , standing one day by the window , she looked away into the far distance as if she were very sad . ` Why are you standing there looking so sad ? ' asked the Hunter . ` Alas , my love , ' she replied , ` over there lies the granite mountain where the costly precious stones grow . I have a great longing to go there , so that when I think of it I am very sad . For who can fetch them ? Only the birds who fly ; a man , never . ' ` If you have no other trouble , ' said the Hunter , ` that one I can easily remove from your heart . ' So he wrapped her round in his cloak and wished themselves to the granite mountain , and in an instant there they were , sitting on it ! The precious stones sparkled so brightly on all sides that it was a pleasure to see them , and they collected the most beautiful and costly together . But now the old witch had through her caused the Hunter 's eyes to become heavy . He said to the maiden , ` We will sit down for a little while and rest ; I am so tired that I can hardly stand on my feet . ' So they sat down , and he laid his head on her lap and fell asleep . As soon as he was sound asleep she unfastened the cloak from his shoulders , threw it on her own , left the granite and stones , and wished herself home again . But when the Hunter had finished his sleep and awoke , he found that his love had betrayed him and left him alone on the wild mountain . ` Oh , ' said he , ` why is faithlessness so great in the world ? ' and he sat down in sorrow and trouble , not knowing what to do . But the mountain belonged to fierce and huge giants , who lived on it and traded there , and he had not sat long before he saw three of them striding towards him . So he lay down as if he had fallen into a deep sleep . The giants came up , and the first pushed him with his foot , and said , ` What sort of an earthworm is that ? '
