“She walked the whole night long, and next day also without stopping, until she could go no farther for weariness. Then she saw a forest-hut, and went into it, and found a room with six little beds, but she did not venture to get into one of them, but crept under one, and lay down on the hard ground, intencliug to pass the night there. Just before sunset, however, she heard a rustling, and saw six swans come flying in at the window.”
