"alas!" answered two-eyes, "i suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night; if you would take me with you, and deliver me from these things, i should be happy." so the knight lifted two-eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father’s castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart’s content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing. when two-eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. "the wonderful tree, however, still remains with us," thought they, "and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. who knows what good things may be in store for us?" but next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. and when two-eyes looked out of the window of her own little room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.
