` They want to go to the bottom again ! ' ` Yes ; but help me first , ' said Big Klaus , ` or else you shall have a beating ! ' And so he crept into the large sack , which was lying on the back of one of the oxen . ` Put a stone in , for I am afraid I may not reach the bottom , ' said Big Klaus . ` It goes all right ! ' said Little Klaus ; but still he laid a big stone in the sack , fastened it up tight , and then pushed it in . Plump ! there was Big Klaus in the water , and he sank like lead to the bottom . ' I doubt if he will find any cattle ! ' said Little Klaus as he drove his own home . PRINCE RING -LRB- 30 -RRB- -LRB- 30 -RRB- From the Icelandic . Once upon a time there was a King and his Queen in their kingdom . They had one daughter , who was called Ingiborg , and one son , whose name was Ring . He was less fond of adventures than men of rank usually were in those days , and was not famous for strength or feats of arms . When he was twelve years old , one fine winter day he rode into the forest along with his men to enjoy himself . They went on a long way , until they caught sight of a hind with a gold ring on its horns . The Prince was eager to catch it , if possible , so they gave chase and rode on without stopping until all the horses began to founder beneath them . At last the Prince 's horse gave way too , and then there came over them a darkness so black that they could no longer see the hind . By this time they were far away from any house , and thought it was high time to be making their way home again , but they found they had got lost now . At first they all kept together , but soon each began to think that he knew the right way best ; so they separated , and all went in different directions .
The XXXXX , too , had got lost like the rest , and wandered on for a time until he came to a little clearing in the forest not far from the sea , where he saw a woman sitting on a chair and a big barrel standing beside her .
