river, a rock pinches her and tells her to remind her mother of her vow. The woman takes her daughter to the river and sits her on the stone. Suddenly, the stone sinks into the earth and takes her to the king of the underwater, since the stone was his slave. The girl lives with the king of the underwater, but is given a sleeping potion every night before she goes to bed. Some time later, a crow warns the girl that her mother died.
