So off he went with the sheet , and the night-gown too . An hour later the real Governor returned . ` Well , what a time it has taken to lock the house door , father ! ' said his wife , ` and what have you done with the sheet and the night-gown ? ' ` What do you mean ? ' asked the Governor . ` Oh , I am asking you what you have done with the night-gown and sheet that you got to wipe the blood off yourself with , ' said she . ` Good heavens ! ' said the Governor , ` has he actually got the better of me again ? ' When day came the Master Thief came too , and wanted to have the Governor 's daughter as had been promised , and the Governor dared do no otherwise than give her to him , and much money besides , for he feared that if he did not the Master Thief might steal the very eyes out of his head , and that he himself would be ill spoken of by all men . The Master Thief lived well and happily from that time forth , and whether he ever stole any more or not I can not tell you , but if he did it was but for pastime . -LRB- 5 -RRB- From P. C. Asbjornsen . BROTHER AND SISTER BROTHER took sister by the hand and said : ` Look here ; we have n't had one single happy hour since our mother died . That stepmother of ours beats us regularly every day , and if we dare go near her she kicks us away . We never get anything but hard dry crusts to eat -- why , the dog under the table is better off than we are . She does throw him a good morsel or two now and then . Oh dear ! if our own dear mother only knew all about it ! Come along , and let us go forth into the wide world together . ' So off they started through fields and meadows , over hedges and ditches , and walked the whole day long , and when it rained sister said : ` Heaven and our hearts are weeping together . '
Towards evening they XXXXX to a large forest , and were so tired out with hunger and their long walk , as well as all their trouble , that they crept into a hollow tree and soon fell fast asleep .
