In the course of time Janni 's parents died , and he and his sister were left alone in the world ; soon affairs went badly with them , so they determined to wander away to seek their fortune . In packing up , the sister found a knife which the monk had left for his godson , and this she gave to her brother . Then they went on their way , taking with them the three sheep which were all that remained of their flocks . After wandering for three days they met a man with three dogs who proposed that they should exchange animals , he taking the sheep , and they the dogs . The brother and sister were quite pleased at this arrangement , and after the exchange was made they separated , and went their different ways . Janni and his sister in course of time came to a great castle , in which dwelt forty Draken , who , when they heard that Janni had come , fled forty fathoms underground . So Janni found the castle deserted , and abode there with his sister , and every day went out to hunt with the weapons the Draken had left in the castle . One day , when he was away hunting , one of the Draken came up to get provisions , not knowing that there was anyone in the castle . When he saw Janni 's sister he was terrified , but she told him not to be afraid , and by-and-by they fell in love with each other , for every time that Janni went to hunt the sister called the Drakos up . Thus they went on making love to each other till at length , unknown to Janni , they got married . Then , when it was too late , the sister repented , and was afraid of Janni 's wrath when he found it out . One day the Drakos came to her , and said : ` You must pretend to be ill , and when Janni asks what ails you , and what you want , you must answer : `` Cherries , '' and when he inquires where these are to be found , you must say : `` There are some in a garden a day 's journey from here . '' Then your brother will go there , and will never come back , for there dwell three of my brothers who will look after him well . ' Then the sister did as the Drakos advised , and next day Janni set out to fetch the cherries , taking his three dogs with him . When he came to the garden where the cherries grew he jumped off his horse , drank some water from the spring , which rose there , and fell directly into a deep sleep . The Draken came round about to eat him , but the dogs flung themselves on them and tore them in pieces , and scratched a grave in the ground with their paws , and buried the Draken so that Janni might not see their dead bodies . When Janni awoke , and saw his dogs all covered with blood , he believed that they had caught , somewhere , a wild beast , and was angry because they had left none of it for him . But he plucked the cherries , and took them back to his sister . When the Drakos heard that Janni had come back , he fled for fear forty fathoms underground . And the sister ate the cherries and declared herself well again .
The next day , when Janni was gone to hunt , the Drakos came out , and advised the sister that she should pretend XXXXX be ill again , and when her brother asked her what she would like , she should answer ` Quinces , ' and when he inquired where these were to be found , she should say : ` In a garden distant about two days ' journey .
