1Then the wind came and blew away his hat; and off it flew a great way, over the hills and far away, so that he had to
2run after it; and when he came back she had bound up her hair again, and all was safe. So they watched the geese till it
3grew dark. In the evening, after they came home, Curdken went to the old king, and said, 'I cannot have that strange
4girl to help me to keep the geese any longer.' 'Why?' said the king. 'Because, instead of doing any good, she does
5nothing but tease me all day long.' Then the king made him tell him what had happened. And Curdken said, 'When we go in
6the morning through the dark gate with our flock of geese, she cries and talks with the head of a horse that hangs upon
7the wall, and says: 'Falada, Falada, there thou hangest!' and the head answers: 'Bride, bride, there thou gangest! Alas!
8alas! if thy mother knew it, Sadly, sadly, would she rue it.' And Curdken went on telling the king what had happened
9upon the meadow where the geese fed; how his hat was blown away; and how he was forced to run after it, and to leave his
10flock of geese to themselves. But the old king told the boy to go out again the next day: and when morning came, he
11placed himself behind the dark gate, and heard how she spoke to Falada, and how Falada answered. Then he went into the
12field, and hid himself in a bush by the meadow's side; and he soon saw with his own eyes how they drove the flock of
13geese; and how, after a little time, she let down her hair that glittered in the sun. And then he heard her say: 'Blow,
14breezes, blow! Let Curdken's hat go! Blow, breezes, blow! Let him after it go! O'er hills, dales, and rocks, Away be it
15whirl'd Till the silvery locks Are all comb'd and curl'd! And soon came a gale of wind, and carried away Curdken's hat,
16and away went Curdken after it, while the girl went on combing and curling her hair. All this the old king saw: so he
17went home without being seen; and when the little goose-girl came back in the evening he called her aside, and asked her
18why she did so: but she burst into tears, and said, 'That I must not tell you or any man, or I shall lose my life.' But
19the old king begged so hard, that she had no peace till she had told him all the tale, from beginning to end, word for
20word. And it was very lucky for her that she did so, for when she had done the king ordered royal clothes to be put upon
21her, and gazed on her with wonder, she was so beautiful. Then he called his son and told him that he had only a false
22bride; for that she was merely a waiting-maid, while the true bride stood by. And the young king rejoiced when he saw
23her beauty, and heard how meek and patient she had been; and without saying anything to the false bride, the king
24ordered a great feast to be got ready for all his court. The bridegroom sat at the top, with the false princess on one
25side, and the true one on the other; but nobody knew her again, for her beauty was quite dazzling to their eyes; and she
26did not seem at all like the little goose-girl, now that she had her brilliant dress on. When they had eaten and drank,
27and were very merry, the old king said he would tell them a tale. So he began, and told all the story of the princess,
28as if it was one that he had once heard; and he asked the true waiting-maid what she thought ought to be done to anyone
29who would behave thus. 'Nothing better,' said this false bride, 'than that she should be thrown into a cask stuck round
30with sharp nails, and that two white horses should be put to it, and should drag it from street to street till she was
31dead.' 'Thou art she!' said the old king; 'and as thou has judged thyself, so shall it be done to thee.' And the young
32king was then married to his true wife, and they reigned over the kingdom in peace and happiness all their lives; and
33the good fairy came to see them, and restored the faithful Falada to life again.
