after some time the girl’s wedding-day came, and she was decked out, and went in a great procession over the fields to the place where the church was. all at once she came to a stream which was very much swollen, and there was no bridge and no plank to cross it. then the bride nimbly took her clothes up, and wanted to wade through it. and just as she was thus standing in the water, a man, and it was the enchanter, cried mockingly close beside her, "aha! where are thine eyes that thou takest that for water?" then her eyes were opened, and she saw that she was standing with her clothes lifted up in the middle of a field that was blue with the flowers of blue flax. then all the people saw it likewise, and chased her away with ridicule and laughter.
