There is a wood yonder , and the moment I enter it I shall forget everything that ever happened between us , just as if I was born yesterday . Farewell , dear wife and child , for ever ! ' Just then the sun rose , and away he walked towards the wood . She saw it open before him and close after him , and when she came up , she could no more get in than she could break through a stone wall . She wrung her hands and shed tears , but then she recollected herself , and cried out , ` Wood , I charge you by my three magic gifts , the scissors , the comb , and the reel -- to let me through ' ; and it opened , and she went along a walk till she came in sight of a palace , and a lawn , and a woodman 's cottage on the edge of the wood where it came nearest the palace . She went into the lodge , and asked the woodman and his wife to take her into their service . They were not willing at first ; but she told them she would ask no wages , and would give them diamonds , and pearls , and silk stuffs , and gold thread whenever they wished for them , and then they agreed to let her stay . It was n't long till she heard how a young prince , that was just arrived , was living in the palace of the young mistress . He seldom stirred abroad , and every one that saw him remarked how silent and sorrowful he went about , like a person that was searching for some lost thing . The servants and conceited folk at the big house began to take notice of the beautiful young woman at the lodge , and to annoy her with their impudence . The head footman was the most troublesome , and at last she invited him to come and take tea with her . Oh , how rejoiced he was , and how he bragged of it in the servants ' hall ! Well , the evening came , and the footman walked into the lodge , and was shown to her sitting-room ; for the lodge-keeper and his wife stood in great awe of her , and gave her two nice rooms for herself . Well , he sat down as stiff as a ramrod , and was talking in a grand style about the great doings at the castle , while she was getting the tea and toast ready . ` Oh , ' says she to him , ` would you put your hand out at the window and cut me off a sprig or two of honeysuckle ? ' He got up in great glee , and put out his hand and head ; and said she , ` By the virtue of my magic gifts , let a pair of horns spring out of your head , and sing to the lodge . ' Just as she wished , so it was . They sprung from the front of each ear , and met at the back . Oh , the poor wretch ! And how he bawled and roared !
and the servants that he used to be boasting to were soon flocking from the XXXXX , and grinning , and huzzaing , and beating tunes on tongs and shovels and pans ; and he cursing and swearing , and the eyes ready to start out of his head , and he so black in the face , and kicking out his legs behind him like mad .
