1Then she thanked the moon, and went on till the night-wind blew; and she raised up her voice to it, and said, 'Thou
2blowest through every tree and under every leaf--hast thou not seen my white dove?' 'No,' said the night-wind, 'but I
3will ask three other winds; perhaps they have seen it.' Then the east wind and the west wind came, and said they too had
4not seen it, but the south wind said, 'I have seen the white dove--he has fled to the Red Sea, and is changed once more
5into a lion, for the seven years are passed away, and there he is fighting with a dragon; and the dragon is an enchanted
6princess, who seeks to separate him from you.' Then the night-wind said, 'I will give thee counsel. Go to the Red Sea;
7on the right shore stand many rods--count them, and when thou comest to the eleventh, break it off, and smite the dragon
8with it; and so the lion will have the victory, and both of them will appear to you in their own forms. Then look round
9and thou wilt see a griffin, winged like bird, sitting by the Red Sea; jump on to his back with thy beloved one as
10quickly as possible, and he will carry you over the waters to your home. I will also give thee this nut,' continued the
11night-wind. 'When you are half-way over, throw it down, and out of the waters will immediately spring up a high nut-tree
12on which the griffin will be able to rest, otherwise he would not have the strength to bear you the whole way; if,
13therefore, thou dost forget to throw down the nut, he will let you both fall into the sea.' So our poor wanderer went
14forth, and found all as the night-wind had said; and she plucked the eleventh rod, and smote the dragon, and the lion
15forthwith became a prince, and the dragon a princess again. But no sooner was the princess released from the spell, than
16she seized the prince by the arm and sprang on to the griffin's back, and went off carrying the prince away with her.
17Thus the unhappy traveller was again forsaken and forlorn; but she took heart and said, 'As far as the wind blows, and
18so long as the cock crows, I will journey on, till I find him once again.' She went on for a long, long way, till at
19length she came to the castle whither the princess had carried the prince; and there was a feast got ready, and she
20heard that the wedding was about to be held. 'Heaven aid me now!' said she; and she took the casket that the sun had
21given her, and found that within it lay a dress as dazzling as the sun itself. So she put it on, and went into the
22palace, and all the people gazed upon her; and the dress pleased the bride so much that she asked whether it was to be
23sold. 'Not for gold and silver.' said she, 'but for flesh and blood.' The princess asked what she meant, and she said,
24'Let me speak with the bridegroom this night in his chamber, and I will give thee the dress.' At last the princess
25agreed, but she told her chamberlain to give the prince a sleeping draught, that he might not hear or see her. When
26evening came, and the prince had fallen asleep, she was led into his chamber, and she sat herself down at his feet, and
27said: 'I have followed thee seven years. I have been to the sun, the moon, and the night-wind, to seek thee, and at last
28I have helped thee to overcome the dragon. Wilt thou then forget me quite?' But the prince all the time slept so
29soundly, that her voice only passed over him, and seemed like the whistling of the wind among the fir-trees. Then poor
30Lily was led away, and forced to give up the golden dress; and when she saw that there was no help for her, she went out
31into a meadow, and sat herself down and wept. But as she sat she bethought herself of the egg that the moon had given
32her; and when she broke it, there ran out a hen and twelve chickens of pure gold, that played about, and then nestled
33under the old one's wings, so as to form the most beautiful sight in the world. And she rose up and drove them before
34her, till the bride saw them from her window, and was so pleased that she came forth and asked her if she would sell the
35brood. 'Not for gold or silver, but for flesh and blood: let me again this evening speak with the bridegroom in his
36chamber, and I will give thee the whole brood.' Then the princess thought to betray her as before, and agreed to what
37she asked: but when the prince went to his chamber he asked the chamberlain why the wind had whistled so in the night.
38And the chamberlain told him all--how he had given him a sleeping draught, and how a poor maiden had come and spoken to
39him in his chamber, and was to come again that night. Then the prince took care to throw away the sleeping draught; and
40when Lily came and began again to tell him what woes had befallen her, and how faithful and true to him she had been, he
41knew his beloved wife's voice, and sprang up, and said, 'You have awakened me as from a dream, for the strange princess
42had thrown a spell around me, so that I had altogether forgotten you; but Heaven hath sent you to me in a lucky hour.'
43And they stole away out of the palace by night unawares, and seated themselves on the griffin, who flew back with them
44over the Red Sea. When they were half-way across Lily let the nut fall into the water, and immediately a large nut-tree
45arose from the sea, whereon the griffin rested for a while, and then carried them safely home. There they found their
46child, now grown up to be comely and fair; and after all their troubles they lived happily together to the end of their
47days.
