" all is well , and all stands firm that towers in the air , " said he , and what he meant was that there was one aboard whom none could see , but who would support the mast on his back , if need be .

now when they had already covered a good bit of the homeward road , they passed close to a steep cliff - side where the giants dwelt . and a giant came out , looked at them , and turned them all to stone , princes and princesses . the king waited and waited for his six sons . though he waited and yearned , they did not come . then he grew very sad , and said that he would never really be happy again . " if i did not have you , " he told his youngest , " i would not keep on living , so sad am i at having lost your brothers .

" o , dear friend , if you will give me a bite to eat , then i 'll help you in your hour of direst need ! " cried the raven .

" o , dear friend , help me back into the water , " said the salmon to the king 's son , " and i will help you , too , in your hour of greatest need !

" " no , " said the prince , " i can not do that : first i met a raven , and had to give him my provisions ; then i met a salmon and had to help him back into the water ; and now you want my horse . that will not do , for what shall i ride on then ? " " well , my dear friend , you must help me , " was the wolf 's reply . " you can ride on me . i will help you in turn in your hour of greatest need .

now when he had ridden a while he met a raven . he was lying in the road beating his wings , and unable to move from the spot because he was so starved . " o , dear friend , if you will give me a bite to eat , then i 'll help you in your hour of direst need ! " cried the raven . " i have not much food , nor are you likely to be able to help me much , " said the king 's son , " but still i can give you a little , for it is easy to see you need it . " and with that he gave the raven some of the provisions he had with him . and when he had ridden a while longer , he came to a brook . there lay a great salmon who had gotten on dry land , and was threshing about , and could not get back into the water . " o , dear friend , help me back into the water , " said the salmon to the king 's son , " and i will help you , too , in your hour of greatest need ! " " the help you will be able to give me will probably not amount to much , " said the prince , " but it would be a pity if you had to lie there and pine away . " and with that he pushed the fish back into the water . then he rode on a long , long way , and met a wolf . the wolf was so starved that he lay in the middle of the road , and writhed with hunger . " dear friend , let me eat your horse , " said the wolf . " my hunger is so great that my very inwards rattle , because i have had nothing to eat for the past two years ! " " no , " said the prince , " i can not do that : first i met a raven , and had to give him my provisions ; then i met a salmon and had to help him back into the water ; and now you want my horse . that will not do , for what shall i ride on then ? " " well , my dear friend , you must help me , " was the wolf 's reply . " you can ride on me . i will help you in turn in your hour of greatest need . " " the help you might give me would probably not amount to much ; but i will let you eat the horse , since you are in such sorry case , " returned the prince . and when the wolf had eaten the horse , the prince took the bit and put it in the wolf 's mouth , and fastened the saddle on his back . his meal had made the wolf so strong that he trotted off with the king 's son as fast as he could . he had never ridden so swiftly before . " when we have gone a little further i will show you the place where the giants live , " said the wolf . in a short time they were there . " well , this is where the giants live , " said the wolf . " there you see your six brothers , whom the giant turned into stone , and yonder are their six brides . up there is the door through which you must pass . " " no , i would not dare do that , " said the king 's son . " he would murder me . " " o no , " was the wolf 's reply , " when you go in you will find a princess , and she will tell you how to set about getting rid of the giant . you need only do as she says . " and the prince went in , though he was afraid . when he entered the house the giant was not there . in one of the rooms sat a princess , just as the wolf had said , and such a beautiful maiden the youth had never seen . " now may god help you , how did you get in here ? " cried the princess , when she saw him . " it is certain death for you . no one can kill the giant who lives here , for he has n't his heart about him . " the next morning the giant got up early , and went into the forest . no sooner had he gone than the prince and the king 's daughter set about looking for his heart in the wardrobe . yet no matter how much they looked , they did not find it . " well , well , " said the princess , " we will have to try once more . " then she adorned the wardrobe with flowers and wreaths , and toward evening the king 's youngest son again crawled under the bed . then the giant came : " hu hu , it smells of human flesh here ! " he cried . " yes , " said the princess . " a jackdaw just this moment flew by with a human bone in her beak , and she let it fall down the chimney . i threw it out again at once , but it may be that you can still smell it . " when the giant heard this , he had nothing further to say about it . but not long afterward he noticed that the wardrobe was adorned with flowers and wreaths , and asked who had done it . " i , " said the princess . " what do you mean by such tomfoolery ? " asked the giant . " o , i am so fond of you that i had to do it , since i know that is where your heart lies , " was the reply of the princess . " are you really so stupid as to believe that ? " cried the giant . " yes , surely , i must believe it , " said the princess , " when you tell me so . " " how silly you are , " said the giant , " you could never reach the place where i keep my heart . " " but still i would like to know where it is , " answered the princess . then the giant could no longer resist , and at last had to tell her the truth . " far , far away , in a lake there lies an island , " said he , " and on the island stands a church , and in the church there is a well , and in the well floats a duck , and in the duck there is an egg , and in the egg it is my heart ! "

" dear friend , let me eat your horse , " said the wolf . " my hunger is so great that my very inwards rattle , because i have had nothing to eat for the past two years ! " " no , " said the prince , " i can not do that : first i met a raven , and had to give him my provisions ; then i met a salmon and had to help him back into the water ; and now you want my horse . that will not do , for what shall i ride on then ? " " well , my dear friend , you must help me , " was the wolf 's reply . " you can ride on me . i will help you in turn in your hour of greatest need . " " the help you might give me would probably not amount to much ; but i will let you eat the horse , since you are in such sorry case , " returned the prince . and when the wolf had eaten the horse , the prince took the bit and put it in the wolf 's mouth , and fastened the saddle on his back . his meal had made the wolf so strong that he trotted off with the king 's son as fast as he could . he had never ridden so swiftly before . " when we have gone a little further i will show you the place where the giants live , " said the wolf . in a short time they were there . " well , this is where the giants live , " said the wolf . " there you see your six brothers , whom the giant turned into stone , and yonder are their six brides . up there is the door through which you must pass . " " no , i would not dare do that , " said the king 's son . " he would murder me . " " o no , " was the wolf 's reply , " when you go in you will find a princess , and she will tell you how to set about getting rid of the giant . you need only do as she says .

" it is certain death for you . no one can kill the giant who lives here , for he has n't his heart about him . " the next morning , before dawn , the giant went to the forest again . " well , now i must get under way , " said the prince , " and it is a way i wish i could find . " so he said farewell to the princess for the time being , and when he stepped out of the door , the wolf was standing there waiting for him . he told him what had happened at the giant 's , and said that now he would go to the well in the church , if only he knew the way . the wolf told him to climb on his back . he would manage to find the way , said he . and then they were off as though they had wings , over rock and wood , over hill and dale . after they had been underway for many , many days , they at last reached the lake . then the king 's son did not know how they were to get across . but the wolf told him not to worry , and swam across with the prince to the island . then they came to the church . but the church - key hung high up in the tower , and at first the king 's son did not at all know how they were to get it down .

" the devil was fool enough , and allowed himself to be hoaxed . he worked and sweat , and the perspiration ran down his cheeks in such streams that one might have run a mill with them , but he merely kept on pumping out of the north sea into the north sea . at last he had enough of it , and when he could pump no longer , he flew home to his grandmother to rest . he let the master mariner stay master mariner as long as he might choose , and if he has not died he is still sailing the seas at his own sweet will , and letting the wind blow according to how he turns his cap .

there was once a little farmer and his wife living near coolgarrow . they had three children , and my story happened while the youngest was a baby . the wife was a good wife enough , but her mind was all on her family and her farm , and she hardly ever went to her knees without falling asleep , and she thought the time spent in the chapel was twice as long as it need be . so , friends , she let her man and her two children go before her one day to mass , while she called to consult a fairy man about a disorder one of her cows had . she was late at the chapel , and was sorry all the day after , for her husband was in grief about it , and she was very fond of him . late that night he was wakened up by the cries of his children calling out ' mother ! mother ! ' when he sat up and rubbed his eyes , there was no wife by his side , and when he asked the little ones what was become of their mother , they said they saw the room full of nice little men and women , dressed in white and red and green , and their mother in the middle of them , going out by the door as if she was walking in her sleep . out he ran , and searched everywhere round the house but , neither tale nor tidings did he get of her for many a day .

well , the poor man was miserable enough , for he was as fond of his woman as she was of him . it used to bring the salt tears down his cheeks to see his poor children neglected and dirty , as they often were , and they 'd be bad enough only for a kind neighbour that used to look in whenever she could spare time . the infant was away with a nurse . about six weeks after -- just as he was going out to his work one morning -- a neighbour , that used to mind women when they were ill , came up to him , and kept step by step with him to the field , and this is what she told him .

just as i was falling asleep last night , i heard a horse 's tramp on the grass and a knock at the door , and there , when i came out , was a fine - looking dark man , mounted on a black horse , and he told me to get ready in all haste , for a lady was in great want of me . as soon as i put on my cloak and things , he took me by the hand , and i was sitting behind him before i felt myself stirring . " where are we going , sir ? " says i. " you 'll soon know , " says he ; and he drew his fingers across my eyes , and not a ray could i see . i kept a tight grip of him , and i little knew whether he was going backwards or forwards , or how long we were about it , till my hand was taken again , and i felt the ground under me . the fingers went the other way across my eyes , and there we were before a castle door , and in we went through a big hall and great rooms all painted in fine green colours , with red and gold bands and ornaments , and the finest carpets and chairs and tables and window curtains , and grand ladies and gentlemen walking about . at last we came to a bedroom , with a beautiful lady in bed , with a fine bouncing boy beside her . the lady clapped her hands , and in came the dark man and kissed her and the baby , and praised me , and gave me a bottle of green ointment to rub the child all over .

well , the child i rubbed , sure enough ; but my right eye began to smart , and i put up my finger and gave it a rub , and then stared , for never in all my life was i so frightened . the beautiful room was a big , rough cave , with water oozing over the edges of the stones and through the clay ; and the lady , and the lord , and the child weazened , poverty - bitten creatures -- nothing but skin and bone -- and the rich dresses were old rags . i did n't let on that i found any difference , and after a bit says the dark man , " go before me to the hall door , and i will be with you in a few moments , and see you safe home . " well , just as i turned into the outside cave , who should i see watching near the door but poor molly . she looked round all terrified , and says she to me in a whisper , " i 'm brought here to nurse the child of the king and queen of the fairies ; but there is one chance of saving me . all the court will pass the cross near templeshambo next friday night , on a visit to the fairies of old ross . if john can catch me by the hand or cloak when i ride by , and has courage not to let go his grip , i 'll be safe . here 's the king . do n't open your mouth to answer . i saw what happened with the ointment . "
