Early next morning the forester got up and went out hunting, and

when he was gone the children were still in bed. Then Lina said

to Fundevogel: 'If you will never leave me, I too will never

leave you.' Fundevogel said: 'Neither now, nor ever will I leave

you.' Then said Lina: 'Then will I tell you. Last night, old

Sanna carried so many buckets of water into the house that I

asked her why she was doing that, and she said that if I would

promise not to tell anyone, and she said that early tomorrow

morning when father was out hunting, she would set the kettle

full of water, throw you into it and boil you; but we will get up

quickly, dress ourselves, and go away together.'
