Three Princesses of Whif eland
Once upon a time there was a
fisherman who lived close by a
palace, and fished for the King's
table. One day when he was out
fishing he just caught nothing. Do
what he would? however he tried
with bait and angle? there was
never a fish on his hook. But when
the day was far spent, a head
bobbed up out of the water and
said:
"If I may have what your wife
is going to give you, you shall
catch fish enough."
So the man answered boldly,
"Yes," for he did not know what
it was that his wife was going to
give him Alter that, he caught
plenty of fish. But when he got
home at night and told his story,
his wife fell a weeping and moan
ing and was beside herself for the
promise which her husband had
made, (or she said. "I was going
to give you a little boy".
Well, the story soon spread and
came up to the castle; and when
the King heard the woman's grief
and its cause, he sent down to say
he would take care of the child,
and see if he couldn't save it.
So the months went on, and the
fisherman's wife had a boy; so
the King took it at once and the
lad grew up. Then he begged leave
one day to go out fishing with his
father; he had such a mind to go,
he said. At first the King wouldn't
hear of it, but at last the lad won
his way, and went So he and his
father were out the whole day and
all went right till they landed at
night. Then the lad noticed he had
lost his cap, and went to look for

ridden enough, they would jump
out.
Teeny was a mother two times.
She had four babies each time.

it; but as soon as he got into the
boat, it bee an to move off with
him at such speed that the water
roared under the bow, and all the
lad could do in rowing against it
with the oars was no use. So he
went and went the whole night,
and at last he came to a white
strand far, far away.
There he went ashore, and when
he had walked about a bit an old,
old man with a long white beard
met him.
"What's the name of this land?"
asked the lad.
"Whiteland," said the man, who
went on to ask the lad whence he
came and what he was going to
do. So the lad told him all.
"Aye, aye!" said the man. "Now
when you have walked a little far
ther along the strand here, you'll
come to three Princesses, whom
you will see standing in the earth
up to their necks, with only their
heads out. Then the first? she is
the eldest^will call out and beg
you so prettily to come and help
her, and the second will do the
same.
"To neither of these shall you
go; make haste past them, as if
you neither saw nor heard any
thing. But the third you shall go
to, and do what she asks. If you
do this you'll have good luck?
that's all."
