they were each to have a horse for the journey,and the Princesss horse was named Falada, and he could speak.When the time for parting came, the old Queen took herdaughter to her chamber, and with a little knife she cut herown finger so that it bled; and she held beneath it a whitenapkin, and on it fell three drops of blood ; and she gave it toher daughter, bidding her take care of it, for it would be needfulto her on the way. Then they took leave of each other ; and thePrincess put the napkin in her bosom, got on her horse, and setout to go to the bridegroom. After she had ridden an hour,she began to feel very thirsty, and she said to the waiting-woman, Get down, and fill my cup that you are carrying withwater from the brook; I have great desire to drink.

To face page 20 THE GOOSE GIRL. 21 And as her thirst was so great, the Princess had to getdown and to stoop and drink of the water of the brook, andcould not have her gold cup to serve her. Oh dear ! saidthe poor Princess. And the three drops of blood heard her,and said, If your mother knew of this, it would break her heart. But the Princess answered nothing, and quietly mountedher horse again. So they rode on some miles farther; the daywas warm, the sun shone hot, and the Princess grew thirstyonce more. And when they came to a water-course she calledagain to the waiting-woman and said, Get down, and give me to drink out of my golden cup.For she had forgotten all that had gone before. But the wait-ing-woman spoke still more scornfully and said, If you want a drink, you may get it yourself; I am notgoing to be your slave. So, as her thirst was so great, the Princess had to get offher horse and to stoop towards the running water to drink, andas she stooped, she wept and said, Oh dear !
