Tales from the Fjeld

Next she got a ram and sat on him, so that her feet touched the ground; and so she waddled along, and was

Not driving,
And not riding;
Not walking.
And not carried.

And all this happened in the twilight, betwixt night and day.

So when she came to the guard at the palace, she begged that she might have leave to speak with the prince; but they wouldn't open the gate, she looked such a figure of fun.

But for all that the noise woke up the prince, and he went to the window to see what it was.

So she waddled up to the window, and twisted off one of the ram's horns, and took it and rapped with it against the window.

And so they had to let her in and have her for their princess.
