1So they went indoors together and sat down, and the man brought out the bread, meat, and wine, which although he had
2eaten and drunk of them, were still unconsumed. The giant was pleased with the good cheer, and ate and drank to his
3heart's content. When he had finished his supper the man asked him if he could direct him to the castle of Stromberg.
4The giant said, 'I will look on my map; on it are marked all the towns, villages, and houses.' So he fetched his map,
5and looked for the castle, but could not find it. 'Never mind,' he said, 'I have larger maps upstairs in the cupboard,
6we will look on those,' but they searched in vain, for the castle was not marked even on these. The man now thought he
7should like to continue his journey, but the giant begged him to remain for a day or two longer until the return of his
8brother, who was away in search of provisions. When the brother came home, they asked him about the castle of Stromberg,
9and he told them he would look on his own maps as soon as he had eaten and appeased his hunger. Accordingly, when he had
10finished his supper, they all went up together to his room and looked through his maps, but the castle was not to be
11found. Then he fetched other older maps, and they went on looking for the castle until at last they found it, but it was
12many thousand miles away. 'How shall I be able to get there?' asked the man. 'I have two hours to spare,' said the
13giant, 'and I will carry you into the neighbourhood of the castle; I must then return to look after the child who is in
14our care.' The giant, thereupon, carried the man to within about a hundred leagues of the castle, where he left him,
15saying, 'You will be able to walk the remainder of the way yourself.' The man journeyed on day and night till he reached
16the golden castle of Stromberg. He found it situated, however, on a glass mountain, and looking up from the foot he saw
17the enchanted maiden drive round her castle and then go inside. He was overjoyed to see her, and longed to get to the
18top of the mountain, but the sides were so slippery that every time he attempted to climb he fell back again. When he
19saw that it was impossible to reach her, he was greatly grieved, and said to himself, 'I will remain here and wait for
20her,' so he built himself a little hut, and there he sat and watched for a whole year, and every day he saw the king's
21daughter driving round her castle, but still was unable to get nearer to her. Looking out from his hut one day he saw
22three robbers fighting and he called out to them, 'God be with you.' They stopped when they heard the call, but looking
23round and seeing nobody, they went on again with their fighting, which now became more furious. 'God be with you,' he
24cried again, and again they paused and looked about, but seeing no one went back to their fighting. A third time he
25called out, 'God be with you,' and then thinking he should like to know the cause of dispute between the three men, he
26went out and asked them why they were fighting so angrily with one another. One of them said that he had found a stick,
27and that he had but to strike it against any door through which he wished to pass, and it immediately flew open. Another
28told him that he had found a cloak which rendered its wearer invisible; and the third had caught a horse which would
29carry its rider over any obstacle, and even up the glass mountain. They had been unable to decide whether they would
30keep together and have the things in common, or whether they would separate. On hearing this, the man said, 'I will give
31you something in exchange for those three things; not money, for that I have not got, but something that is of far more
32value. I must first, however, prove whether all you have told me about your three things is true.' The robbers,
33therefore, made him get on the horse, and handed him the stick and the cloak, and when he had put this round him he was
34no longer visible. Then he fell upon them with the stick and beat them one after another, crying, 'There, you idle
35vagabonds, you have got what you deserve; are you satisfied now!' After this he rode up the glass mountain. When he
36reached the gate of the castle, he found it closed, but he gave it a blow with his stick, and it flew wide open at once
37and he passed through. He mounted the steps and entered the room where the maiden was sitting, with a golden goblet full
38of wine in front of her. She could not see him for he still wore his cloak. He took the ring which she had given him off
39his finger, and threw it into the goblet, so that it rang as it touched the bottom. 'That is my own ring,' she
40exclaimed, 'and if that is so the man must also be here who is coming to set me free.' She sought for him about the
41castle, but could find him nowhere. Meanwhile he had gone outside again and mounted his horse and thrown off the cloak.
42When therefore she came to the castle gate she saw him, and cried aloud for joy. Then he dismounted and took her in his
43arms; and she kissed him, and said, 'Now you have indeed set me free, and tomorrow we will celebrate our marriage.'
