The Goose Girl
Part II
(Summary: In the first part of
the alary, you will recall that a
Princes* started out, with her
yiaid, on a journey to a far land
where she was to wed a Prince.
On the way, the maid made the
Princess put on the maid's clothes,
and the maid took the Princess's
horse, Falada (Falada was a
hone that could speak). Thus,
When the two arrived at the
Princo'a palace, the Prince topk
(he maid, the false princess, as his
bride, and the true princess was
lent to mind the geese. Now the
story . . .)
* The name of the lad, whom the
iaal bride was to help in watch
ing Ike King's geese, was Curdken.
Soon after, the false bride said
to the Prince, "Dear husband,
pray do me one piece of kindness."
"That 1 will," said the Prince.
"Then tell one of your slaughter
ers to cut off the head of the
horse I rode upon, for it was very
unruly and plagued me sadly on
the road." But the truth was she
was very much afraid lest Kalada
should apeak and tell all ahe had
done to tha Princess.
She carried her point, and the
Uithful Falada was killed: but
when the true Princess heard of
il ahe wept, and begged the man
to nail tip Falada's head against
a large, dark gate in the city
through which she had to pass
every morning and evening, that
she anight still see her sometimes.
Then the slaughterer said he would
do as she wished, so he cut off
the head and nailed it fast under
the dark gate.
Early the next morning, as the
Princess and Curdken went
through the gate, she said sorrow
fully?
"Falada, Falada. there thou art
fcmring!" and the head answered:
"Bride, bride, there thou art
going!
Alasl alas! If thy mother knew
it,
Sadly, sadly, her heart would
rue it."
Then they went out of the city,
driving the gwese. And when they
Mtw to the meadow, the Princess
sat down upon a bank there and
let down her waving locks of hair,
which were all of pure gold. When
Curdken saw it glitter in the sun,
he iaa up and would have pulled
son* of tha locks cut, but she
ctlcd?
"Blow, breeies, blow!
I*t Curdken's hat go!
Blow, breezes, blow
Let him after it go!
O'er the hills, dales, and rocks,
Away be It whlrl'd,
Till the golden locks
Are all comb'd and curl'd"
Then there came a wind so
It rang that It Mew off Curdken's
hat, and away it flew over the
hits, and ha after it till, by the
he tuna back, ahe had done
ObMdi and curling her hair and
put it up again safely. Then he
waa very angry and sulky and
would not speak to' her at ail; but
thav watched the ge?ae until it
?caw dark in tha avaoiag and then
they drove the flock homewards.
The next morning as they were
tfiag through the gate, the poor
girl looked up at Falada's head,
and cried?
"Falada, Falada. there thou art
hanging!" and it anawered?
"Bride, bride, there thou art
going!
Alas! alaa! if thy mother knew
It.
Sadly, aadly her heart would
rue it."
Then abe drove on the geese and
sat down again in the meadow,
and began to comb out her hair
as before, and Curdken ran up to
her, and wanted to take hold of It;
but she cried out quickly?
"Blow, breeies blow!
Let Curdken's hat go!
Blow, breezes, blow!
Let him after it go!
O'er hills, dales, and rocks.
Away be it whirl'd
Till the golden locks
Arc all comb'd and curl'd!"
Then the wind came up and blew
off his hat, and off it flew a great
distance o'er the hills and far
away, so that he had to run after
it. When he came back she had
done up her hair again, and all
was safe. So they watched the
geese till it grew dark.
In the evening after they came
home, Curdken went to the old
King and aaid. "1 cannot have
that strange girl to help me to
keep the geese any longer."
"Why?" inquired the King.
"Because she does nothing but
tease me all day long."
Then the King made him tell
all that had passed.
