But on thy life give her no answer, let her do what she will, but pass by her on the right side; further on, there is a door, which open, and thou wilt enter into a room where a quantity of rings of all kinds are lying, amongst which are some magnificent ones with shining stones; leave them, however, where they are, and seek out a plain one, which must likewise be amongst them, and bring it here to me as

　　quickly as thou canst."

　　The girl went to the little house, and came to the door.

　　There sat an old woman who stared when she saw her, and said, "Good-day my child."

　　The girl gave her no answer, and opened the door.

　　"Whither away," cried the old woman, and seized her by the gown, and wanted to hold her fast, saying, "That is my house; no one can go in there if I choose not to allow it." But the girl was silent, got away from her, and went straight into the room.

　　Now there lay on the table an enormous quantity of rings, which gleamed and glittered before her eyes.

　　She turned them over and looked for the plain one, but could not find it.

　　While she was seeking, she saw the old woman and how she was stealing away, and wanting to get off with a bird-cage which she had in her hand.

　　So she went after her and took the cage out of her hand, and when she raised it up and looked into it, a bird was inside which had the plain ring in its bill.
