Then the reindeer jumped for joy; and the little robber-girl lifted Gerda on his back, and had the forethought to tie her on, and even to give her her own little cushion to sit on.
“Here are your fur boots for you, said she; “for it will be very cold; but I must keep the muff; it is so pretty. However, you shall not be frozen for the want of it; here are my mother’s large warm mittens; they will reach up to your elbows. Let me put them on. There, now your hands look just like my mother’s.
But Gerda wept for joy.
“I don’t like to see you fret, said the little robber-girl; “you ought to look quite happy now; and here are two loaves and a ham, so that you need not starve. These were fastened on the reindeer, and then the little robber-maiden opened the door, coaxed in all the great dogs, and then cut the string with which the reindeer was fastened, with her sharp knife, and said, “Now run, but mind you take good care of the little girl. And then Gerda stretched out her hand, with the great mitten on it, towards the little robber-girl, and said, “Farewell, and away flew the reindeer, over stumps and stones, through the great forest, over marshes and plains, as quickly as he could. The wolves howled, and the ravens screamed; while up in the sky quivered red lights like flames of fire. “There are my old northern lights, said the reindeer; “see how they flash. And he ran on day and night still faster and faster, but the loaves and the ham were all eaten by the time they reached Lapland.
